Sour fruit Gum

I remeber something like sourfruit (it might be the same the packets look very familiar)in a machine outside the shop across the road from my mums after you bought so many it would give you an extra packet free.It did it regular so was set that way.

Ahh Mr Freeze, I remember my mum buying my sister and I a whole box of these from the cash & carry to last us through the summer holidays.
I distinctly remember sitting down on the floor sharing out the various flavours one for me one for you making sure I wasn't underdone on the cola ones, they were our favourite.
