old fashioned sweet name ?

[chysun]

Does anyone remember the name of the old sweets that looked like a packet (tube) of fruit gums....they were caramel coloured and i think butterscotch flavoured and about every 4th one was blackcurrant ....they were a gum sweet and may have been rowntrees or nestle...

Thanks in advance

Yes i remember them, they used to be in the rack on the counter at the newsagents along with the fruit gums and pastils and the assorted mints, polo, trebor etc.They used to be one of my favourite sweets. last time i remember seeing them was on a trip to wales to see family around 40 yrs ago !!! lol
