Does anyone remember a candy called Norlights? It was some sort of fruit flavored gelatin candy that I could only get in canteen at camp in upstate NY in the 80s. I really loved that candy, and am wondering if it reincarnated in some other form.
Nope, sounds like some kind of Gummie Bear to me.
Hhmmm…Google returns absolutely nothing on that. You could only get it in one location, camp??? They weren’t drugging you or something, were they??

OK, it’s been a few years since I posted this, but the search for answers never ends.
I found out that I wasn’t imagining things - Norlights was a candy produced by Ludens in the 1980s:

I found an ad in a trade magazine:
The quest is over, but I’m still curious. does anyone remember them besides me?
They’re ringing a faint bell after seeing the pic. Did they have a powdery coating?
Yes. I remember them. I saw them in a local mart in Upper Darby, just outside of Philly. I remember they looked tasty but I never tried them.
I remember these as a kid, it was one of the few candies my father liked. Occasionally I get nostalgic and look for clues on Norlights. I finally ran across this post with the black and white advert which really helped. I found a listing on eBay 10/16/2026 with a color picture of the package but I am unable to upload pictures a new user. Here is the link for now.
