Burningly curious question

To all you candy lovers out there: whilst doing the google image meme, I realized that in addition to Skittles, there's this other candy that they often sell at newsstands, and I am totally addicted to it. I will often pass a newsstand and be forced to buy one of these things. They're gummy/jelly type round candies, and come in packages of 6 candies all in a row. The colors are red, white, yellow, green, and orange (5 flavors. The white one is grapefruit, in case you were wondering.)

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT CANDY FOR GOD'S SAKE?


Edit: prize goes to Sonja and Graeme for getting "Sunkist" -- whee!!! Now I really want one.

is the wrapper clear?

i think there are more than 6 mentos in a pack...

there are these sugared jelly candies that come in clear packages that are often sold by vendors on the streets and busses, but that´s in brazil.

well, partly. The wrapper is orange-ish.

I think the name may be sun-something? MAN. This is going to drive me crazy. I want them. I want them now.

damn I just HAD some of those.
I do not have the plastic wrapper anymore, though, and they are probably called differently in austria anyway-
Only 6, though?
there are like 10 or 12 in the packs here ... same cols, though

(not laughing at you, but at the whole "things are called so very differently overseas" way)

They used to be so much yummier, like... 10 years ago? The recipe has changed. So sad.

(But... these are some of the few soft/chewy candies you can get almost anywhere that are kosher. And vegan. So that's good.(
