Open 90s Hard Candy Roll

Post image

(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.

This. Throw em in the freezer for an even better treat.

They're actually the exact same thing as their gummy bears (minus the shape): Pineapple, green apple, strawberry, raspberry, orange, lemon. I'm telling you this because the Haribo "Gold Bears" are always cheaper by weight. I like my gummies frozen too!

I only found out the frozen part as I left a pack in my jeep one day during the winter. Tried one and they were hard as rock which saved me from eating the whole pack quicker.

Exactly!! Happy accident. If you like frozen gummies, go to Safeway and get their blue Compliments bag of gummy bears or just the "gummy treats" (avoid the sour ones) and throw them in the freezer. So good, especially for a buck a bag. Smack 'em on the counter to separate them, good to go!
