Hot Tamales are like super cinnamony jelly beans. They used to come in a box, which meant that they were more likely to get either cloudy and sticky from dampness or extra hard from drying out. But the boxes were fun because they would make noise. You could shake it to find out how much you had left and it presented a satisfying sound while you were popping them at the movies, not that annoying plastic wrap sound.
I recently received a new version, Tropical heat:
Flavors of the new Tropical Heat include mango Tango, Pineapple Picante, and Limon Fever. It is available in a 8 oz bag, 5 oz peg or theater box, 8.3 oz theater box or 1.8 oz count goods. The SRP ranges from $0.69 to $1.80 depending on size.
