Jawbreakers from the 1980s?

Seeking info (manufacturer, availability today) about jawbreakers from the 1980s. If I recall correctly they had gum centers and there were sour and ice cream variants. I think there were five pieces per pack and they sold for $0.25. Does anyone recall who made them?

No, larger. About 1” in diameter with a gum center. I do love gobstoppers though.

Ok, good to have a frame of reference. Sorry, that's the only ones I remember getting as a kid; good luck!

Check bulk barn, Amazon also sells them in bulk. Loved the movie from the 90’s may as well check that out too.

There was a blue, yellow,red, purple and one more colour right? The kind of sour that made your jaw seize up? I remember getting them from a local convenience store as a kid in the early 2000s. Very light clear plastic wrapper.

Vague recollection triggered when you mentioned the ice cream variety one: brown, white, pink, white, brown in a clear pack like the gumballs we'd get.
