Here is a look at how “American” candy is packaged in Europe:
If you see a lot of American flags or the words “USA” on the packaging, I am going to guess it wasn’t actually produced in the US. I took this photo at the Plumule expat store in the Mall of the Netherlands earlier in December. Jawbreakers themselves are a really, really hard candy in the shape of a ball. It’s almost impossible to bite into at the start. Instead you are forced to suck on it for a while until it softens a bit, although that is when they are almost gone. They are also known as gobstoppers in the UK where they originated.
I liked therm a lot as a kid, although it can be annoying trying to get to the point where you can actually bite into them. Maybe that is what the stick is for? Either way, I prefer Warheads candy (Wikipedia). And now I am going down the rabbit hole looking at the Wikipedia page for Dum Dum lollipops…
