We Must Stop the Gob

From the archives:

Is it just me, or is it somewhat disconcerting that my box of "Everlasting" Gobstoppers contains over a hundred of them?

Explanation: If they're "Everlasting", why on earth do I need more than one of them? Also, what exactly is "Gob" and why do we want to stop it so badly? These are important questions, and I demand answers!

Important Question: Speaking of candy from our good friend Willy Wonka, what ever happened to Tart 'n' Tinys? They were my favorites and they seem to have just totally disappeared.
