    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

    They are Sen-Sen. The package says
    " Created in the mid 1890's. Sen-Sen "Throat Ease and Breath Perfume" is the first commercial breath freshner in the USA. Valuable to "Singers and Speakers". Sen-Sen's blend of licorice and rare herbs effectively mask odors from smoke, food or drink."

    Oh, yes, how well I remember Sen Sen as a child. I remember the adults using it as a breath freshener, but I used to ask for some of it as a candy treat. I also remember my grandmother using some sort of powdered tooth powder (not toothpaste) to brush her teeth. Thanks for the memory, lol!
