Also known as UFO candy, this candy is back from the 50s. These wafers remind me of what the priest puts on everyone’s tongue at communion. These paperlike bubbles come in blue, orange, white and pink and are filled with multicolored beadlike sugar candy balls.

As soon as you drop the UFO into your mouth you taste the plain styrophoam like disc immediately begin to dissolve. As soon is the seal is broken the alien inhabitants pour out and scatter into your mouth taking over. Without you knowing those little sugar beads posses your mind and before you know it, the aliens have succeeded, and you are eating another one.

The sugar candies in the inside are tasty but if you rip open the pouch and just eat the candies they prove to be a little too sweet. They taste especially good after the cardboard tasting piece of styrophome wafer has touched every taste bud on your tongue. Then again, not much would taste bad after cardboard. They figured out (through many tests I’m sure) that the best taste directly after cardboard is little multicolored sugar balls. Try it out, but it won’t be easy to find something that tastes better after cardboard than the little aliens inside the satellite.

Well,  enjoy Satellite Wafers and as you eat them  remember that over 50 years ago kids were doing the exact same thing.

    I grew up in southwest GA in the 60s. One time my neighbor bought a candy bar, and she was generous enough to let me have a bite. It was really good. I’m pretty sure it was called a Scotch Almond Bar. It was hard toffee on the inside, and looked just like a Heath Bar, but instead of a chocolate coating, it had a light tan-colored almond-flavored coating. I have no idea which company made it. I have searched on the internet and can’t find anything about it. I’ve asked people about it, and no one but me seems to remember it. Does anyone besides me remember this candy?

    I found these online finally a few years ago & have to say they tasted like cardboard. It makes me wonder if they were that bad back in the 70s or if you just didn’t care how they tasted since they were cool candies.
