Sametta

Sametta is a brand of candy that was popular in the mid-20th century. It was produced by the Mars company. The candy itself was a small, chewy fruit-flavored candy. It was often described as being similar to a gumdrop but with a more pronounced fruit flavor. Sametta candies came in a variety of colors and flavors, typically including cherry, lemon, lime, and orange. They were individually wrapped, which contributed to their appeal as a convenient and portable treat.

The marketing for Sametta often focused on its fun and fruity nature, appealing to both children and adults. It was widely available in grocery stores, candy shops, and convenience stores across the United States during its heyday. While the exact reasons for its discontinuation are not widely documented, Sametta appears to have faded from the market sometime in the late 1970s or early 1980s. Despite its absence, Sametta remains a fond memory for many who grew up consuming it, with occasional discussions on nostalgia forums and social media about its distinctive taste and texture. It is not currently produced or sold by Mars.
