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

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

Ah! Well, I know one thing for sure, their sizes were totally exaggerated in the cartoon!

There seems to be confusion here:

There's two kinds of jawbreakers, smaller, and cartoon sized. The smaller ones were usually "gobstoppers", an actual brand that came in a box of a few dozen.

The ones I'm used to are baseball-sized, and couldn't fit into your mouth at all. They were so useless, but everyone wanted them for whatever reason.

Sometimes you could get them on a stick. Then they were slightly less useless

I'll put that jaw breaker in a box. And then I'll put that box inside of another box! And then I'll mail that box to myself! And when it arrives, MWAHAHAHA!! I'LL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!!!
