An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

where do you buy those?
There is this chain of stores called Dollarama. They were the dollar store that came in and drove all the other dollar stores out of business... It didn't take them more than a couple years.
Now all the dollar stores are gone and Dollarama is pretty much the only one that remains. And naturally, the prices have gone up.
Are those connected to Dollar General in the US? They popped up everywhere sometime around 2013-2016 (within miles of each other) and have a very similar looking candy (pretty good for $1 too).
I actually think not, they're a privately held, non-franchised company. Or at least that's what it was when I last looked into it
But all they seem to do is import trash from China in bulk, then distribute it to the various local stores
So I would not be surprised to find similar products all over the place in various dollar stores and in other countries
