As a kid in the 1950s I remember buying a spicy slightly less than quarter
sized spherical red colored candy called an "Atomic Fireball". I was recently
at a pre-school graduations for my 4 year old and they were still passing out
"Atomic Fireball" candy. They haven't changed a bit in 40 years.

Why have these tongue burning candies not been opposed by activists as
tasteless?
