Razzles are a candy that once chewed, mix to transform into chewing gum.
History
Razzles were originally introduced in 1966, with an advertising slogan and jingle of "First it's a candy, then it's a gum. Little round Razzles are so much fun." The original flavor was raspberry. They were named after a fictional flavor, Razzleberry, that was planned but never panned out. This has also happened with the flavor "Zuzzleberry Zash", as well as "Tropical Tash".[citation needed] Concord Confections was formed in 1986, and sometime after that date acquired the Razzles brand. Additional fruit flavors were added to raspberry, such as blueberry, tangerine/orange, lemon, and grape. Most recently, a "tropical fruit" pack and a "sour" pack were added to the product line. Tootsie Roll Industries acquired Concord Confections in 2004.[citation needed] Razzles were first produced by Fleer along with their Dubble Bubble brand; both brands were eventually sold to Concord Confections.[citation needed]
