I have a sense memory of the mouth feel of these things but not like a memory memory. I think they're firm and granular-y... and mostly tasteless
That’s the exact memory I have as well. Grainy.
We've all tasted this ball before
A social worker I know actually lost one of his clients because of a rubber ball (are they called flip flop balls in English?), the 8 year old choked to death
I would call these things "bouncy balls".
That's a terrible story. But lol I like the term flip flop ball. Around me, we actually call them bouncy balls
fuckin love a bouncy ball tho
The worst part is that he was around his parents, they just didn't know what number to dial to call the emergency.
Now that you've said it bouncy ball does sound familiar 😅
And some weirdos argue that parents are less reliable than strangers.
Parents are in general the best guardians for their child.
"CITATION NEEDED" - Satan, maybe
I was not a smart child, and them balls were like culinary forbidden fruit.
not judging, those did look delicious
You are confusing them with these:

I was among the children who sunk my teeth into one of these and I remember the results: my curiosity was satisfied regarding the:
-
texture - penetrable & interesting & oddly satisfying
-
taste - 0/10 don't recommend; would not repeat.
YES! I chewed on so many of these, especially late at night. If you haven't had them already, get SunKist's Fruit Gems candy. It's not quite the same but it scratches that same mental itch for me.
So many chomps. So many very, very unpleasant chomps.
Did anyone else chew on those clear glue globs in packaging that kinda look like this?
I did! Wow I was an idiot when I was young. Yeesh. At least I wasn't like the many kids I knew that ate bugs 🤢
They were so chewable, though!
And I've done all my bug as an adult. Haha. Never did it as a kid, but since growing up, I've eaten crickets, grubs, ants and cockroaches.
Nothing wrong with eating bugs! Though I do suggest you prepare them properly, first.
I never, eh... ate these (wtf?), but damn they were fun to hit with a baseball bat or golf club, and imagine where on the planet they landed.
