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

Why has the marketing of these tongue burning candies not offended nuclear
activists over the past 40 years as tasteless and desensitizing?
