Punky's
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Punky's were a candy sold by The Willy Wonka Candy Company in the late-1980s and early-1990s. They came in a variety of sweet and sour fruit flavors. Punky's were small, oval in shape, and had a somewhat rough texture, with some slightly larger sugar crystals embedded in the candies.
The box art featured the candies "dressed" in punk fashion. Punky's were discontinued presumably due to the decline of the punk movement's influence in mainstream pop culture, and possibly to their similarity to other Wonka products such as SweeTarts.
