Candy

I've asked this before.

In the mid 80's there was a gum that came in a sleeve.  It was spiky on the outside with sugar crystals on the inside.  

I thought they were Zappers but that doesn't look right.

Any ideas?  Google doesn't produce anything...

Possibly Razzles?

I thought they were called "razzles" too but they are round like a ball.

You're totally talking about Zappers. I'm not sure if you'll find them on the Google machine, but I would never forget those textured, chewy sugar bombs. That would be like forgetting about crunchy Reese's peanut butter cups.

Maybe Seedlings...

They look just like this but they weren't shaped like fruits!

@dankind I looked at Zappers and the packaging/product looks off.

That's probably because people weren't using their mobile phones to take pictures of everything and post it on the internet to inflate their sense of self-worth in the 1980s.

They were Zappers, you ignorant slut. My long-term memory is strong (short-term memory is shit, though.)

There were no blue Zappers, and the other colors, shape, and texture is wrong. Zappers were brighter, rounder and bumpier. Those are some newfangled or just plain fake-ass Zappers. Zappers came in a sleeve similar to Sixlets, but a Zapper gumball was about three times the size of a Sixlet candy.
