‘Muiletrekkers’ (making faces)
the name of this sweet tells you what might happen when you eat these
sour balls. Actually, ‘muiletrekkers’ are so sour that eating too many can
damage the tongue. originally, confectioners only made yellow ‘muiletrekkers’
with lemon, but these were so successful that other flavours were
devised: red balls with cherries and blue balls with violets.
