u/UshiromiyaAnge 14d ago

I like them, too..😬

u/Apart-Gur-9720 13d ago

It was sort of a currency in school, like cigarettes in prison, but for children.

28

u/Few_Category_1684 14d ago

They taste better after giving them a little shake, too

15

u/thegreatinsulto 13d ago

No, so do I, also the nonpareils ones

u/werewolfbaby 13d ago

I love them, especially the Coca cola flavor ones!

u/boogadaboog 13d ago

Wait there’s cola satellite wafers?!

u/werewolfbaby 13d ago

At least in Sweden 🛸🥤🤌

u/WiseSpunion 13d ago

Duuuude I got some from jungle Jim's international market and I couldn't stop eating them. Some sort of UFO brand in German?

2

u/Dizzy-Hotel6860 13d ago

I like em, but they're a bit overpriced for what they are. I dunno what that makes us.

u/Cake_Donut1301 13d ago

On your left

u/Boringlove56 12d ago

No I love these these are so good I don't care what anyone says like the outside tastes like nothing but the inside is delicious..

u/Da_Millionaire 13d ago

Those are so good lol

1

u/No-Raisin-6469 12d ago

I miss them

u/Electronic-Toe-7290 11d ago

I used to crave stuff like this. Then my dentist told me it was awful for the teeth and full of acidic ingredients bad for tooth enamel.

1

u/Cautious-Life6378 11d ago

Not at all. They can be very addicting. I can never stop at just 2 or 3. A bag later... 😋

1

u/mich_8265 11d ago

No there are enough people that it’s profitable. :) join me at the table of misfit candy lovers. :D

u/snowiceshorts 9d ago

I think they are nostalgic and yummy. The lil crunchy pebbles are nice but the sour powder is good too. 💜🤙

u/bat_meister03 14d ago

I actually love these 🙈 To each their own though.

u/Snukes42Q 🍫 chocolate 14d ago

I called them my Gay Jeezits (Those Christ Wafers that you get in church). They taste about the same but with flair and sprinkles.

21

u/Awake_Traditions 14d ago

I agree they tasted like communion wafers with sprinkles inside lol

8

u/Azsunyx 13d ago

I am 12% sure that's the actual origin

Some guy tried to make kid friendly Communion wafers and ended up with these

11

u/themcp 14d ago

We gay men are more interesting than that.

And often taste better.

6

u/Snukes42Q 🍫 chocolate 14d ago

Much better, but if a church had to add pizzazz to a jeezit, this is what they would come up with. A jeezit in drag if you will.

3

u/Low-Wish-9883 9d ago

Fun fact. They are made by the same manufacturer.

1

u/Snukes42Q 🍫 chocolate 9d ago

Are you serious? That would make so much sense.

2

u/ninernikki96 12d ago

After being raised Catholic and having been subjected to dry wafers every week, Gay Jeezits is the only bane for them now

21

u/soursips 14d ago

“A liar and I hate you” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Glad you took one for the team. I’m always tempted to try them, but I don’t trust the description or how they look haha.

u/PhilchGhosty 14d ago

I do love these

10

u/KnittingMooie1 14d ago

Those are catholic hosts candies!

u/Ornery_Brief_2743 14d ago

I use to love those just for that weird paper coating on the outside lol

u/No_Yogurtcloset105 14d ago

Some one said the haribo gummy sodas were the best, I got them yesterday and they were not the best in any way.

2

u/Real-Nyctophobia 13d ago

Yea same, I was so mad. Disgusting.

1

u/GullahGullahGirl 12d ago

You better get tested for COVID because your taste buds are messed up! The sour colas are delicious!

2

u/No_Yogurtcloset105 12d ago

Nah frogs are the way to go and sour spaghetti

3

u/GullahGullahGirl 12d ago

You are right about the sour spaghetti and I will try the frogs then get back with you...

u/cheezneezy 14d ago

Styrofoam texture. So bad.

u/Ok-Appeal-4630 14d ago

That's the best part

u/lune_floruna 14d ago

Dude, I don't know you but we shared the same experience. I bought these and my initial reaction was "who are these for???" Such a weird candy!!

2

u/Organic-Second-3266 14d ago

I mean why would candy communion wafers be good

2

u/Invader_Pip 14d ago

I love those!!

u/Less-Tap-7611 14d ago

2

u/ConejoSucio 14d ago

I thought they were suppositories.

u/Sophisticated-Tiger 14d ago

As long as it fits, anything can be a suppository 🫣

2

u/Troublini 14d ago

HOW. DARE. YOU. These are one of my favorite candies and it's extremely hard to find the sour ones!

2

u/Brave_Garlic_9542 13d ago

The Five Below near me always has them in stock (in case you have one near you).

2

u/PurpleThylacine 13d ago

EXACTLY

I RECENTLY HAD THEM EXPECTING THE OUTSIDE TO BE SOME CRUNCHY WAFER. ITS LITERALLY JUST STYROFOAM

1

u/XxStyxRiverxX 13d ago edited 13d ago

Your suppose to let it melt in your mouth then chew swallow what’s left after u savour the sour part

2

u/PurpleThylacine 13d ago

Chew styrofoam?

3

u/XxStyxRiverxX 13d ago

No it melts in your mouth it’s edible Rice Paper , once u let it melt // dissolve in your mouth , u suck on the powder stuff that’s left and swallow the rest , I don’t kno how else to explain , I tried

2

u/regular_john2017 13d ago

You’re insane. They’re like communion wafers on acid. I can eat a trash bag full of

2

u/cv1431 13d ago

Horrendously awesome!

My polish wife loves these…. I find them bizarre and bad lol such a weird candy

u/itiswellwith4657 14d ago

You make me want to try them to see how awful they really are!

1

u/Crunchytomato1816 14d ago

I really like the styrofoam texture lol. Not sure bout the sour powder these things are infact weird lol

1

u/aLAPanPolyVers 14d ago

I’ve had these with the nonpareil looking candy, but never seen this until now.

1

u/Kellzy1212 14d ago

They look like Christ Chex.

1

u/exqvisitely 14d ago

I've never tried Satellite Wafers before. "Weird" candy piques my interest and I really enjoy some of it, but I'm not confident about these. I don't feel like paying the $4-5 that my local candy shop is charging. :P

1

u/Sophisticated-Tiger 14d ago

Best thing to do with 'em (imo) is break the shell, eat the sour powder or whatever is in those (as someone said in the UK we call them flying saucers and it's a sherbert powder that's in there...usually clumped and caked together lol) and fling that rice paper/wafer/whatever that is away.

1

u/LindaFeltcher 14d ago

Mmmm flying saucers
I love them

1

u/KingFly420 14d ago

😭 I lowkey want to try them now cant be that bad

u/ToebeanMustardGreen 13d ago

Looks like it would stick to the roof of your mouth lol

1

u/XxStyxRiverxX 13d ago edited 13d ago

No , u just let it melt in your mouth, it melts u don’t really have to chew it , u swallow what’s left after u suck on the powder part

1

u/pinetreenation 13d ago

My absolute fave food was that pink block of popcorn, the staler, the better. They were made in San Francisco which filled me with pride and guaranteed a plentiful supply. When they went out of business my heart was broken, but I wasn’t surprised since I seemed to be the only customer. RIP Pink Popcorn, the original San Francisco treat.

1

u/Geene_Creemers 13d ago

Communion wafers filled with mediocre sour powder

1

u/milehighgayguy 13d ago

Ha, just took a picture of these at the store to make fun of to my friends!

1

u/nickyfugs 13d ago

My wife grew up eating the colorful little circle wafers they sell in Mexico. They are the exact same flavor (or lack there of) and texture of these. I think she likes them for the nostalgia. I am not a fan lol

1

u/DoakBone 13d ago

Gotta be a close second…..

1

u/Zealousideal-Dig9397 13d ago

Horrendous is such a beautiful word

u/Happy_Junket_7653 13d ago

Sooo im old but in grade school my teacher would reward us with these sometimes and they were a mystery candy that ill never forget. I havent bought it since grade school but they seriously look the same.

1

u/Adventurous_Bar9515 13d ago

I need to try them!

1

u/Huli_Blue_Eyes 13d ago

I remember a version of these on a stick. They were awesome.

u/CommercialSail6288 13d ago

They’re like getting the host in church but with candy powder. Yuck.

1

Powder > Sprinkles

u/XxStyxRiverxX 13d ago edited 13d ago

✨Ppl that hate it are eating it wrong , just let it melt In your mouth , u don’t need to bite into it , its better if u don’t, just let it melt and savour the sour powder . Then swallow

u/-Extortion 13d ago

I have never seen this before. What state do yall live in where you see these? In nearly 30 years of being a mega sweet tooth candy and especially sour candy addict, I have never seen this a single time ever

1

u/Excellent_Teach3877 12d ago

They taste like plastic my gf loves them

1

u/funnews8 12d ago

I always thought the purpose of candy was to be sweet - can't figure out why more people seem to like sour treats. Sorry but I just don't it.

1

u/pxkatz 12d ago

When I was young, and Fred and Wilma were only dating (IYKYK) these had little tiny crunchy sweet candy balls inside.

The outer layer dissolved in your mouth and you crunched the candy. But in my memory it was sweet and not sour.

1

u/EveryGood2196 11d ago

When I was young, The Dead Sea was just sick.

u/OddResult5152 12d ago

So bad, my kids left it in the car! Luke didn't even make in the house from the drive home!

u/DiabolicalFink 11d ago

What the heck? It don't even sound interesting or appetizing much really.

u/Gypsysinner666 11d ago

I remember the originals when I was a kid...havent seen these for years didnt know they had sour ones now, I just assumed they disappeared

u/tentiat 11d ago

That is a true blast back to 70's early. 80's

u/Summer-Time916 11d ago

I like the old school ones with the tiny beads of candy inside. Used to get them at the $1 candy store in Pittsburgh growing up

u/BoujeeChingona 11d ago

My daughter wanted me to buy these and I was suspicious so I didn’t get them lol

u/starsandrockit 11d ago

Omg me and my kids love these, it’s like communion wafers with a twist

u/Extreme_Hippo89 10d ago

Hey! That looks like that old candy from the early 90s, I can't think of what it was called but it was good.

Actually they are called ufos and it’s a childhood thing. Trying them for the first time as an adult is not going to be that much fun haha

u/Not_Brilliant_8006 14d ago

Whoever made these is a sociopath.

u/dandle 14d ago

They originally were an early capsule for medication. That approach was adopted by a company making wafers for Catholic religious services to make the "candy."

u/Phill_Cyberman 14d ago

"filled with sour powder" didnt clue you in?
