Thanks for sharing that @Gayle B. — what a vivid memory! A sour lemon, oval candy with ascorbic acid in the center definitely sounds unique. I couldn’t find a specific match for Farrohs Candy Co., but I found something called Lemonheads—small, round sour‑sweet candies with a hard outer shell and a softer core, produced by Ferrara Candy Company. They were oval-ish, had that sharp lemon flavor, and many describe a center that packs a punch. Could that be what you remember, or do you think your candy had a different shape or texture?

I’m familiar with Lemonheads but that’s not the lemon candy I grew up with. I still had it as a teenager. My mom even sent some in a care package in my early years in the military. They are individually wrapped in a clear plastic wrap. Thanks for the follow up!
