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. ---

I really loved that candy, and am wondering if it reincarnated in some other form. 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: [http://www.trademarkia.com/norlights-73430310.html](http://www.trademarkia.com/norlights-73430310.html) I found an ad in a trade magazine: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/4130/5050004471_0a8827e655_z.jpg "norlights") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/curwin/5050004471/) 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.
