I remeber the foot long ones in a different wrapper back in the late 70's.
Old Time Candy. I was really looking for paraffin wax bottles - and lips.

Are Rockets just Smarties rip offs?
They are like mini sweet-tarts. Made with Dextrose, Citric Acid, Calcium Stearate, Natural and Artificial Flavour, Colour (Allura Red, Tartrazine, Sunset Yellow FCF, Indigotine)
After 5 or so my tongue can't handle the citric acid anymore...
These are my favorite halloween candy and today they will be like $2-3lb on sale in a 2lb bag... I did buy a 2lb bag once about 15 years ago, ate them all in 3 days and it probably took years off my life...
Smarties in Canada are like M&M's, candy coated chocolate with just different colors and made by nestle, so I guess that's why your Smarties become Rockets here.

When in Canada.....
My wife bought a few huge bags of candy to hand out last night. These were in one of the bags. I never had them until this morning. I've always liked jelly candies, especially the ones from Japan.
I just remember them when parodied by Wacky Packages.
