Does anyone knows what the name of a sucker was that you could buy around 1963. It came in grape and cherry and had bumps on one side of it. Sometimes it said "winner" on the inside and if you got one of those, you got another sucker free! I remember this, but I can't recall what they were called. Anybody??

I remember them and we called them "Corn Suckers" because they look like ears of corns. But I'm not sure what they were called.

The internet is not being helpful. I can't find them. I thought they might be Charms, but it appears not.

We used to get them off Mr. Kennedy's Golden Creamery Bread truck that drove through the neighborhood. Five cents each. Nothing beat opening that wrapper and seeing the winner sticker on the back!
