I can’t figure out what this is, I hope someone can help! I remember eating these all the time when I was a kid(hah, I’m 20 now..). They came in rolls like Shocktarts and SweeTarts.. They could be SweeTarts but I want to know for sure. It had more of a light blue/teal based background on the wrapper and I remember there was a smiling sun(possibly wearing sunglasses?) I believe in the upper left hand corner of the name of the candy on the wrapper. Does this make any sense? I can’t remember if it was SweeTarts or not. I know I’ve never been a huge fan of them but I recall really liking the thing I can’t remember. So if it was SweeTarts well, then I don’t know when my tastes changed for them. Okay I’ll stop rambling now.

I vaguely remember a sun logo from somewhere… maybe on spree?

the wrapper doesn’t look like that anymore, if it ever did, but i want to haphazardly say I thought spree were advertised with a sun.

Necco wafers are the only other thing I can think of in a roll. Maybe the sun was a seasonal packaging thing?

I was looking for the same candy today, and the one I was thinking of was the Giant Chewy SweetTarts. Hope this helps!

You know, I think you’re right. I’m nearly positive it was either the spree or the chewy sweet tarts with the sun, and it seems more like a sweet tart thing then a spree one.

Maybe it was a seasonal thing, it was in summer probably. I keep thinking it was either spree or sweetarts, but not the big chewy ones. Hm.. I just want to find a picture someday!

I believe you ARE talking about Sweettarts… the old style packaging had a sun on it (I’d assume in reference to Sunmark), like this:

Hope that helps!

Here ya go - teal background and I imagine the sun used to be on the roll as it is a re-occuring character in the SweeTarts line.
