No One Can Figure Out the Proper Name of That Hard Candy Your Grandma Loves

zachnading Published 02/25/2023 in wow

Can someone help? No, I mean like really help. And don't give me any of that "It's a strawberry bon-bon" bullshit. Nobody in their right mind calls it that. But we ALL KNOW THIS CANDY. The internet is doing what the internet does best; arguing. So we've taken to Twitter to finally pin down whatever name these strawberry treats go by.

I've heard everything from Bank Candy, to Grandma's Candy, to Church Candy, to just straight-up Candy. Other names included:

-Purse Candy

-Grandma's Purse Candy

-Those Strawberry Candies

-Grandma Treats

To each their own I suppose. Maybe this is one for Robert Stack and the Unsolved Mysteries crew to unravel, because Twitter is all over the place.

Smdh 35 years old and this the first time I've ever heard it called anything but “purse candy”

I’ve never seen these in a store. I think they just grow in the bottoms of black women’s purses right next to soft peppermints.

Strawberry buds

I'm going to be honest, I thought 'Strawberry Buds' was just some stoner answer, but this might be as close as we get to the actual name. After a quick search on the interwebs, I present to you... The Arcor Strawberry Buds Bon Bon Filled Hard Candy, Sachet Wrap.
