Description
This candy may have been around before the 80's but I remember them around '83-'84. They were made by the Willie Wonka Company and came in a yellow cardboard box. They were a hard gumball-shaped candy that had several levels of different flavors. I recently saw a box of them at a local convenience store, so apparently they are still around.

They were so much better in the 80's! Now they are little and not really jawbreakers.
i love these little candys .
they break my heart lol .
How much bigger were they, and the box, in the 80's..? I can't tell from the picture alone.
Yup, they sure where bigger in the "old days" and they tasted better too, and had my favourite a blue one, which they don't have anymore.
*gotta agree- i'm munching on a box right now and i miss the blue ones!
Did they come with a different flavor inside back in the days? I seem to remember the centers being different flavors per color. Now they all have the same boring pink center!
Dude I am so baked right now!!!!
I got 2 big boxes for Christmas much smaller then I remembered
I loved those. A few years ago i got on a craze and at a few boxes.
They still sell these here in the UK, we had the mega gobstopper, it was about the size of a golfball, knew a kid who broke a tooth on one hahaa
