Description
A packet that came with a large flat tongue surpressor-like stick made of rock-solid condensed sugar, with sugary-flavored powder in two flavors (not unlike Pixie stick powder). You can dip that stick into the powder and therefore ingest twice as much sugar. But you had the lick the stick first for the powder to stick to it! Once you finished the powders, you'd usually throw the stick away. It never tasted great by itself.

I remember loving these as a kid, but now I'm completely grossed out by the entire concept.
lik-m-aid/fun dip, the stick is the best part.
Used to throw away the flavor pwoder and eat the stick!
I love the sticks, I'll bribe the kids to get them!
I remember when they first started coming out with multi flavor packs you would get one stick with 2 or 3 flavors. Which i thought was gross because then you would "cross-contaminate" the flavors.(urgh i was always such a neat freak kid.. all my childhood toys are mostly still mint.)
I never liked the flavourless sticks on their own, so I'd throw them out - I hated sharing, too. I used to pour my powder into one cup and pour it into my hand, like I'd do with my pixie sticks. It made a mess and got really sticky, but it was tasty!
I ate these so much I got sick. I loved the white stick the best.
I only had this a couple times pure sugar my brother and I would bounce off the walls after this and drive my mom crazy
Lik-M-Aid, so good, I liked Grape the best, and the sticks were goood! I had to reserve nibbling them so I could get all of the powder.
You can actually still finds these sometimes in the conveniance stores.
Val, the white stick was the only stick there was
