Dweebs (candy)

Dweebs

Dweebs were a larger, soft and chewy version of the popular candy Nerds produced by The Willy Wonka Candy Company, owned by Nestle. They were introduced in the early 1990s, and were only available for a few years before they were discontinued. Although they were slightly softer than Nerds, they were difficult to distinguish from Nerds themselves and thus lasted a very short time on the market.

One notable difference from Nerds is that Dweebs came in boxes that had three compartments, rather than two, allowing for a third flavor to be packaged in each box.

Super Sour Dweebs were also available only for a short time before they were discontinued.
