Gobstoppers are now smaller, but are still available in the same fruity flavors.
 
Runts are the same size, but now come in blue.
 
Right now I am enjoying an assortment of both candies.

The gobstoppers are smaller because Wonka's cutting costs. He had to lay off 2500 oompah loompahs.

You know, of all the food 'The Firm'  provides for me, fruity candy is not one and Gobstoppers and runts are faves of mine. All except the bananas.
Do the blue pieces taste like snozzberries?

Very strange - I hate all things banana-related except Runts. I cannot even stand the smell of a banana peel in the trash can, but I can eat them.
And yes, the blues do taste like snozzberries. Man, I wish I had lickable wallpaper!
You know what are even better than Gobstoppers and Runts? ZOURS! They're like Sour Patch Kids that you can eat forever without getting sick.

My older brother convinced me that a red piece of yarn was a Twizzler. He also gave me gravel from the street that I ate, because he said it was Pop Rocks.
The similarities coming through are just too amazing!

No, because I had already heard about Mikey from Life cereal commercials dying from that very concoction. Was too afraid.

I heard that was Jody from Family Affair. Or maybe that was a drug overdose he died of. Or an overdose of poprocks. Something like that.
