didn't the pink ones taste of spearmint?
There were pink drolets like Tom Thumb drops and they tasted of spearmint but they were called spearmint pips. There were also cola pips and sherbert pips. Some boys in my school used to get a mouthful nice and wet and them blast them out of their mouths one-by-one at great speed.
Yuk.
what a waste of a decent sweet!
