Can confirm, I recently tried to find these in several stores, could not find.

Drug stores. Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid

There are no Rite Aids anymore.

Look in places that have bulk candy. Some grocery stores have a bulk section.

I have two candy stores nearby that sell these in bulk. I buy a bag and sneak a few of them into my wife’s purse occasionally to carry on the tradition.

I do this with lychee candies from my local Indian grocer, and every pocket I can wiggle one into without the owner noticing. Thankfully they are quite small, and come in completely sealed little wrappers (so no humidity melting).

Or when the server brings the check I’ll give them a candy, like they often do.

Spreading joy one random sugar hit at a time. Not even 40 but totally understand the impulse.

Reminds me of back when i was young and needed roommates my buddy would order chocolate coconut bars from some bulk store online. It was amazing. This was just before amazon got big.
