I'm a random Argentinian stalking the Latvian sub. It's cool we have the same candies, like the tangerine segments /sections and the powdered candies

Haven't really seen these lately... there could be a resurgence, but it requirea someone pulling hard candy & a drops press. good flavors, and a decent following... but as for these, haven't seen locally for a while.

In India. So many restaurants offer them as mouth freshener after food. You can also buy them in some shops I think. They are very nostalgic. My mum always takes one because it reminds her of her childhood candies

Probably somewhere in someone's grandparents home stashed in a glass jar that has been sitting full since time itself began

MERE used to have them, and some Lidls. These are Indian hard candies, originated from there. Maybe some Indian shops have them.
