The “choking hazard” scare of the 80s put a stop to that.<br /><br />White Rabbit candies have the melt-in-your-mouth rice-paper inner wrappers, too. I also remember my elementary school friend Edwin (who was from Taiwan) sharing his haw flakes with me when the teacher’s back was turned. Haw flakes are still a great candy deal, last time I checked my local 99 Ranch, they were 10 rolls for a dollar.<br /><br />Nowadays, the kids are all about the Pocky.
