My dad told me him and his mate followed someone down the street as they put these through the open front doors, remember when you could do that? Anyway they nicked as many as they could then started to eat (suck) them. Ate as many as they could before throwing up, next day sat on the toilet all day etc. This must have been in the 1930s. Not sure if you could chew these, suck them or make a drink out of them but they were a sweet of some kind!
