jawbruiser
This is a huge ball of compressed sugar and some unidentifiable attempt at fruit flavoring. It's not quite as brutal as a jawbreaker, but it's definitely not a walk in the park. Kids these days and their sadomasochistic candy . . . back in my day, we had candy everybody wants! And we liked it!
