My earliest memory is talking to the boy next door over the garden fence. He was sucking on one (or more) round sweets, smaller than gobstoppers but larger than aniseed balls. 'What colour would you like?' he asked me. Almost any colour I suggested he would produce from his mouth. One or two were not possible, probably black for example. Was this possible in the early 1950s or is this all a product of my imgination? I was about four years oldcat the time.

They might have been gobstoppers which had been sucked until they were quite small? I can't remember anything else that might fit the bill. Did you have penny chews and threepenny slabs?
I remember a sweet about the size you mentioned with different coloured layers so it changed colour as you sucked, can't remeber what it was called,
I do wish AB had an English spell checker.
^ my mistyped words are highlighted in ab?
Might it have been later .. an everlasting gobstopper?
