Description
Back in the 80's I use to buy what I believe are called dinosaur eggs. They came in a black box (one per box). They were shaped like eggs, very hard, came in different colors. As you sucked on them, they turned different colors and at the end you were left with a little egg that had a powdery/sour tasting center.

Do they still make these?
I loved these!
They were a large egg shaped jawbreaker. You had to suck them because they were to hard to bite and break. The inside was a sweet tart center. So good!
I checked on these. They no longer make them.
They were almost exactly like the Everlasting Gobstopper. What I hated the most was the disgusting white outer shell!!!
I LOVED these! I liked them better than Gobstoppers because they had a better ratio of inside sweet-tart type stuff to tooth-breaking outer shell.
I believe they also went by "The Choke-a-nator".
they were called wonka dinoSOUR eggs, different from the ones they make today
My sister and I were addicted to these things. So good!
I loved these things. They were awesome. I wished they still made them. I would swap my brothers for these.
I loved these!! oh my how I miss the 80s...I used to get them at liquor stores or in the vending machines " )
i ate boxes of these things when i was a kid.. i actually still have a little box of these but i ate the candy.
Oh how I wish wonka still made these. Dinasour eggs were the best candy ever made. How can we contact wonka to see if they would consider making them again for those of us who are addicted and would love for our children to enjoy the experience of a dinasour egg!
I distinctly remember these would have a crack after sucking on them a while. Love these!
Can anyone confirm whether or not these are similar? www.candywarehouse.com/giantsours.html
Me and my best friend would buy them by the case and eat them on the way to work. We were grown ups by then but they were the BEST!!
Glad to see others still yearn for this treat, not only were these good but they also bring back so many memories. The 80's were a great place to be, its hard to be stuck in a world such as this with memories of how things used to be!
I ordered a box (1 lb) on line from one of the candy stores. I was so excited when they arrived, but then soooo disapointed when they turned out to be just gobstoppers in the shape of an egg. Dont think they make them anymore:(
any idea where i can find these?
I loved these!! I used to buy them at the corner store every morning before school. They used to come 2 in a pack in plastic wrap and they were 10 cents a pack. I really wish Wonka would bring them back!
wow its awsome hearing all these stories on here! I feel the same way!!! I was craving tart and tiny's and wondered if they still made them, then the eggs popped in my head!! does anyone remember the name of them real good taffys they came in a long bar in cherry and grape? whatever happend to blueberry hubba bubba?
Jenny, the candy you remember was called Laffy Taffy. :)
