That is what I have been told the name is. It is Well sort of looks like those candy worms. For the life of me I can't think what they are called. But any way the look like this stuff the candy worms are made out of and are easier to use. I was also told one can buy them for 2 - 3 dollars a piece and if I can find a picture of them I will post it for you all to see.
