I'd forgotten about these - apparently they changed the name in the 70s to Fun Dip, but I was long over them by then.

It was simply flavoured powder (like in pixie sticks) that you'd lick off your wet fingers, or you scarfed the package. Typically both.

They may have been 2 cents each or 3 packs for 5 cents type of thing.

If you're old enough you might remember seeing one of these in a drug store, grocery store or even Radio Shack. You could pull all the tubes from your radio or TV, put them in a paper bag, and take them down to your local store to test. And hopefully you wrote down which one came out of which socket. Once you found the bad tube or tubes, the store proprietor would unlock the bottom and find new replacement tubes. And the price list is taped right inside the door.
