They changed the shape from the tiny cup thing with the piece of fruit to a larger cup with fruit diced up into small squares.


No matter.. I missed them when they were recalled and banned by the FDA and now I am very happy they are back on the market.. a different shape but just as good!

hmm, I know the local international market has always stocked those....I wasn't aware they were banned by the fda. Was it a specific brand or something? I used to eat lychee like they were going out of style when I was younger....it seems I was kinda right.

The ones in the little round cups with the peice of fruit were banned.

All of them...


It was because they found them to be too dangerous for people to eat. A few kids choked on them apparently.

I bought some of those from the World Market back in the day. I liked them. I coud definitely see them getting lodged in a kids throat.

I remember that...but there have always been the jellies with the diced fruit..at least as far as I can remember. I used to eat the lychees in the can with light syrup, very good after a nice dinner.

the kid who's too stupid to eat those things doesn't grow up to have children of his own.
