I have no recollection of Tart n Tiny at all.

I wouldn't have eaten it.

"similar to SweeTarts or Smarties. Along with Nerds and Wacky Wafers,"

Didn't like any of these. I'll take chocolate any day.

Tart 'n' Tinys were small, fruit-flavored candies distributed by Nestlé USA under the Wonka brand. Tart 'n' Tiny's came in five colors, bluish-purple (grape), yellow (lemon), orange (orange), red (cherry), and green (lime).

The original incarnation of Tart 'n' Tinys candies were small cylinders of compressed dextrose. The candy had a chalky appearance and consistency, with a firm crunch that would crumble in the mouth, similar to SweeTarts or Smarties. Along with Nerds and Wacky Wafers, Tart 'n' Tinys were top sellers for the Wonka company in the 1980s.[1] In the 1990s the original candies were discontinued. A short time later, Wonka introduced Candy-coated Tart n Tinys, identical candies with a brightly colored candy coating. This candy was then marketed simply as Tart n Tinys. While the original version was hard in texture, a soft and chewy version of Tart 'n' Tinys was recently introduced, titled Chewy Tart 'n' Tinys, that has the same candy coating but with a chewy center. Tart 'n' Tinys have now been discontinued.
Brand revival

In 2014, Leaf Brands, LLC acquired the Tart n' Tiny trademark and will have them back in stores the second quarter of the year.[citation needed] Leaf's focus is reintroducing the famous Tart n' Tinys candy as the original, uncoated product from the 1970s and 1980s, and not the later, hard-coated versions. The original flavors will be back as well, with new varieties of Tropical and sour soon after.

I remember tart n tiny in the 80s! Dad used to buy those for us along with necco wafers, zero bars, mary janes and bit'o'honey. Mmm now I want some now & laters.


Games - I remember how much I wanted a slip n slide, mom would take black plastic garbage bags and set them up in a driveway with a hose.

I loved lawn darts, but you haven't faced real danger unless you played with these.

 

[allreptiles1966]

Anyone remember Fizzers? They were like Sweet Tarts but had a zing or fizz to them.

I purchased them a bit ago. You can only get through a Confectioners in Europe.
They are a bit expensive at about $.25 per little pack like Sweet Tarts. But well wort it since I haven't had them since the 70's/80's also. And being you cannot get in the USA anymore.
