I've never ever had Ex-Lax. I hear too many horror stories about it and I won't try it. Never heard of black balls. Were they a kind of jaw breaker? I think I'v ehad something similar, but it wasn't black.

@TheBlueFlamingo

Yes they were a kind of jaw breaker that started out black and had several layers of different colors...not very sweet or tasty and in the middle was a tiny seed of some sort. But hey, at 3 for a penny.....LOL

Hi Melissa....yes that sounds like a black ball...I don't know why I bought them as a kid other than I could cash in pop bottles to get them and they were cheap. I would love to know what the outside black stuff was made from as it wasn't really sweet and had a metallic taste to it.

I don't like vlogging but thought I would answer my sister's Show & Tell.
