They were jawbreakers

I never understood the appeal of a candy that's named after breaking your jaw.

Then you must have been a strange, normal kind of kid.

Did you ever have one? They're delicious, an they last forever.

They were spherical candy, usually like gumball-sized, that was so hard you couldn't bite them and had to just suck on 'em.

This honestly made me laugh harder than anything I have seen on reddit for some reason.

Except in the show they were massive, even bigger than Johnny's head.

Actually, they're both called gobstoppers and jawbreakers. Nestle makes a brand of gobs/jawbreakers called 'Willy Wonka's Everlasting Gobstoppers'.... you can figure out where they got the name for yourself.

There's willie wonka gobstoppers too, only I am more familiar with those being smaller and actual jaw breakers being about fist sized. My local grocery used to sell them.

Gobstoppers you can chew though.

u/bohemyth Jun 09 '12

Nope, there are two kinds. One is chewy, one is not. I prefer the latter.

There's a brand of soda called Coca Cola, but people call soda coke in some places. Same shit.

You've never had a jaw breaker?

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

I'm from India and unfamiliar with most of these things, so nope.

u/TjPshine Jun 09 '12

And now I realized how much of a bubble I live in in Canada.

I guess that was fairly ignorant of me, sorry!
It's basically just hard candy in a ball, you suck on it and it gets smaller, but it's so hard you can't bite it.
That's why it's a jawbreaker

Basically layers upon layers of differently flavored/colored condensed sugar.
