Razzles

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Razzles are a type of candy that once chewed, mix to transform into gum. Introduced in 1966, the candy-gum product is unique in its dual nature, offering a two-in-one experience. The name "Razzles" is derived from the candy's original flavor, raspberry.

History[edit | edit source]

Razzles were first introduced by Fleer Corporation, a well-known confectionery company, in 1966. The original flavor was raspberry, hence the name "Razzles." The candy was marketed with the tagline "First it's a candy, then it's a gum." This unique characteristic set Razzles apart from other candies and gums available at the time.

Product Description[edit | edit source]

A Razzle is a small, circular candy that initially has a hard shell. When chewed, the candy breaks down and transforms into a type of gum. The original flavor was raspberry, but over the years, many other flavors have been introduced. These include but are not limited to lemon, orange, grape, and blueberry. There is also a sour version of Razzles, as well as a "tropical fruit" variety.

In Popular Culture[edit | edit source]

Razzles have been featured in various aspects of popular culture. Perhaps most notably, they were a key element in the 2004 film 13 Going on 30, where the candy served as a symbol of childhood and simpler times.
