I have a really distinct memory of eating this candy one Halloween when I was really young, but I can't find any evidence of it ever existing.

It seemed like it was some variant of lemonheads, since it had almost identical packaging except the lettering was printed in blue. The candy itself looked like a lemonhead but with a teal/blue color. The flavor was some indeterminable fruit that I'm guessing was meant to be fruit punch?

It's so vivid to me and I wanna know if anyone else remembers these. I live in the US and my encounter would have occurred sometime between 1999-2003.

Lemonhead for reference:

This was all i could find https://www.candynation.com/fruit-punch-lemon-dudes
oh wow nice find... they dont quite match up with my memory, but they're eerily similar. I know they were individually wrapped so they could be passed out for Halloween, and I'm pretty sure they had more of a glossy uniformly colored surface.

Warheads, maybe? those are individually wrapped and come in various sour flavors, blue raspberry being one of them.

Idk, but i loved lemon heads.

I feel like sometimes they're rock hard, and other times they're kinda soft almost like a chewy candy. Is it just because it got old, or did they do something different?

My memory of the candy is also pretty hazy as well, so maybe it was always kinda soft, and i was just too young to realize it.
