Hi, yes indeed, here in the U.K they were called meloids, I think that was the spelling, they were like tiny cushions of licorice or something similar.I remember my mum had an evening bag covered with tiny jet beads,and thinking they were the same thing, pulling them off and eating them!! No harm done, I was stopped before the bag was bare. Letty
