I completely forgot about those things! I used to love sucking on those wax bottles when I was kid; the juice tasted OK, but there wasn't much of it. After sucking the juice out, I'd chew the wax bottle like a piece of gum until my jaw started to ache and then I'd spit it out. A waste of pocket change? Absolutely. I liked candy cigarettes too because I thought they looked 'cool' but the candy itself was quite bad.

I never got the point of chewing on wax. It was flavorless and as you said it makes the jaw sore. I think I tried it once when I was very young and that was enough. And there was very little of the juice. Much better juice could be had in another bottle-shaped candy that I think was called Shazam. It was a small clear plastic bottle, shorter and fatter than the wax ones, and unedible, but the juice was very tasty and there was more of it than in the wax ones. I have not seen those in at leased 35 years and am not even certain the name is right. I used to find them in the store checkout lanes and I think the flavors were grape, lime and cherry.
Candy cigarettes had kind of a wintergreen taste if I remember right. I didn't mind the flavor but they weren't a thing I ever went out of my way to get. I think I remember they were finally banned a few years ago because the left wing do-gooders felt they encouraged kids to smoke real cigarettes. -

Cheers man, seems a bit weird in the USA to have that, it's the land where people sue for the most mundane reasons, here in the land of the free sure no probs having that crap here but the states,wow that's weird

They aren't in many stores anymore. I used to see them all over the place but now here only one store has them. They probably have fallen out of favor.
Candy cigars and cigarettes are banned, and I recall a big fuss over Pop Rocks some years back too. And the Nestle WonderBall. -

I feel bad for the melted guy, I'm slightly melted also, my throat and shoulder were badly burned when I was a baby. US melted folk need to stick together.
Oh, and wax candies are gross, there's easier ways to get juice.
