Tonks:

I have had the UK Acid Pops and the US ones. The ones in the US are 
not very inventive. Just a pop with a sour coating. But the ones in 
the UK are wild!  They taste good to start with and have little stars 
in them. At the very center is a liquid acid that starts to bubble up 
and ooze out from little holes in the pop. Wild. I could not finish 
one. I gave some at the office and one fool bit into her's (who does 
that! Pops are for sucking, not biting. Serves her right!) And it was 
so funny, we all were watching her as she turned purple, gasped, 
screamed for water and spite it out in the trash. ;-) Wicked Tonks, 
wicked! 

I don't think they make them any more in the UK. If anyone hears of 
any, please let me know.
