Description
This may have come out in the 60s but there was a candy called M & M Fruit Chewies. The jingle lyrics were, "You get two-hundred and two mouth watering chews in every pack of M & M Chewies." But this candy went away but has returned (maybe by another company) and it is called, Starbursts. They taste exactly the same.

OMG! My childhood friend used to give these to the kids in our carpool. Her grandma would give her enough for everyone in the car. I was thinking about 'em the other day and wondering why the heck this girl called 'em "Chewies" instead of Starburst. Case closed!
My mom used to buy these for me when I was a kid. I'm not positive on the date, but basing it on where I was living at the time, I put this at somewhere between 1965-1967, as I was 12, living in McLean, Va. You could get a big bag at the local A&P, Peoples Drug, or Giant Foods for $.29! I thought was an "endless bottom" bag. Huge. Probably around 16-20 oz. in reality. I don't recall them being as tart at the Starburst, nor, as firm, probably because of the higher sugar content in candy at that time. They sure were good, though, as I can attest to the lack of good teeth left in my mouth!
