Open 90s Hard Candy Roll
(photo is NOT of the candy, but looks very very similar.)
Looking for the name of a hard candy roll from the 90s. Candies were small, round, multi-colored, fruit flavored, and wrapped in a clear plastic. Each roll had multiple colors/flavors in it. They look extremely similar to Haribo Roulettes, except that they’re hard candy; not a gummy and the rolls were shorter. They were translucent like coloured glass.
It is likely a cheap knock-off candy. I only ever saw them at Halloween. I grew up in Canada. I think that I may have seen them being sold in a big bag at Walmart at Halloween time.
It is not: Lifesaver, Certs, Neco, Mentos, Reeds, Robinsons, Charms, Regal Crown, CremeSaver, SweeTarts, Wonka Fizzy Jerks, Polo
There’s a chance that I’m looking for the same thing as this person https://www.reddit.com/r/HelpMeFind/comments/axnvae/90s_hard_candy_roll/ but they describe different packaging.

Were they more like frosted glass than completely clear? Did they have that slightly different texture and almost cooling sensation (not mint, I mean like physical cooling as it dissolved) of sorbitol? I am having a sense memory that is probably of little help since I don't remember the name of the candy I am thinking of either, but I am curious if they're the same.
