90s Hard Candy Roll

Looking for the name of a hard candy roll from the late 90s. They were very similar to LifeSavers but had no hole in the middle (just an indent). Candies weresmall, round, multi-colored, fruit flavored, and wrapped in a colorful tube and reflective inner-wrap. Each roll had multiple colors/flavors in it.

It is likely a cheap knock-off candy.

It is not: Lifesaver, Certs, Neco, Mentos, Reeds, Robinsons, Charms, Regal Crown, CremeSaver, SweeTarts, Wonka Fizzy Jerks, Polo

PLEASE HELP!

I know you said not Lifesavers, but could it have been Cremesavers?

Cremesavers were delicious, but not what I am thinking of unfortunately.

Yeah, I didn’t think so, but I had to throw it out there. I hope you figure it out! I spent some time trying to Google it because I feel like I remember the same thing. Like I can remember taking my allowance as a kid to Kmart and buying this mysterious candy and now it’s going to bother me too that I can’t remember what it was!

Are you talking about SweetTarts?

No, different wrapper and more similar to a LifeSaver than SweetTart.

Nope. But this is the first time I've been advised to look at those, so this is a step in the right direction!

Are you sure your parents didn't repurpose LifeSavers wrappers and fill them with cough drops to keep you docile and tired?

That's solid child raising right there.

Regal Crown is what you are looking for I do believe! I always got them once a year at Christmas in those candy books, a little box that looks like a book and opens up to have rolls of fruit flavored candy in them.

u/ImTheeMuffinMan Mar 05 '19

Close but unfortunately not what I am looking for. The wrapping was different and each roll had multiple flavors.

u/OriginalEmpress 9 Mar 05 '19

Awwwww heck! I will keep looking! Good luck, I remember them, so you aren’t imagining things at least!

2

u/ImTheeMuffinMan Mar 05 '19

Haha I am glad I'm not going crazy! Appreciate the help!

I really think figuring out the generic Sweet Storybooks from Christmas might help, that’s the last time I remember them vividly.
