Comments[edit]

Shouldn't there be some mention of the real life verion's ability to change flavors, based on the amount of the jawbreaker your saliva has dissolved? --65.16.61.35 (talk) 20:14, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They change color, but I'm not convinced that they change flavor. --Elijah (talk) 21:36, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, then, you're an idiot. You could always try, you know, eating one. They obviously change flavor, it's not exactly hard to detect. 99.30.228.137 (talk) 22:18, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not one-hundred percent sure, but I believe these are currently labeled here in Australia and in New Zealand as "Longlasting Gobstoppers", possibly due to truth-in-advertising laws.Metasyntactic D (talk) 02:13, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just bought a pack labelled "Everlastin" in NSW. I have heard of longlasting though. --124.182.240.217 (talk) 12:21, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion for a better picture: Media:Gobstopper-pile.jpg --Elijah (talk) 21:36, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the plural of Gobstopper is just Gobstopper, since the box never uses Gobstoppers, but does refer to "jawbreakers that change colors and flavors." —Preceding unsigned comment added by IsaacTheSalsaShark (talk • contribs) 07:06, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to add that Gobstoppers are made smaller now than they were five or more years ago, but I don't have any citations for proof. - Gargomon251 (talk) 20:24, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Any particular reason there is a random line of text AFTER the "See also" section? --124.182.240.217 (talk) 12:23, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

picture[edit]

The current picture doesn't really let the reader know what they are looking at. The pieces resemble other small candies, like M&Ms or Skittles, or maybe marbles. Perhaps using the branded box would be better. Also, most people associate the Gobstopper with the 1971 movie's depiction - a clunky monstrosity of colored sugar. Could we get a screenshot of that to use here? NotPeterParker (talk) 01:57, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
