does anyone have information on candy thumbs?

candy thumbs were popular in the nineties when

i was a little kid,

and they were REALLY good!

i used to suck my thumb,

and my parents tried to get me to stop by eating these.

they were usually cherry or strawberry flavored

red suckers, shaped like thumbs

and they sold them at the gas stations or whatever.

does anyone know what happened to them?

if they're still available,

where?

please and thank you!

    Cheyenne,

    I think I actually remember this candy! It was on a stick, and looked like an adult hitchhiker thumb, nail & all! I believe it was called "Thumb Suckers". It's now considered a "retro" candy. I don't think it's available anymore, but this similar product is now sold as "Thumb Dippers":

    Good luck, and I hope you stopped sucking... ;)
