Did I imagine these sweets? 1980s

Don't know if I imagined this or not. I'm thinking of sweets from the late 70s or early 80s that were tiny dots, like micro sized hundreds and thousands, in a plastic shape, possibly a lipstick?

Does this ring any bells?

Sherbet pip type things?

Sounds like sherbert pips. You can buy them online.

Nerds? Think they were later.

Could it be the bubblegum that was in tiny pieces? I think it was orange flavour and packaged in a carton like orange juice. Bloody loved that!

I vaguely remember something like this. They were smaller than the millions things (just a little bigger than 100's & 1000's) in a lipstick case and the other part was a lipstick shaped lolly? (Like a boiled sweet lolly, but lipstick shaped?)

Definitely not millions, smaller than that. And in a shape, not a bag. Might be a false memory :)

I don't recognise them. There were sweets like a lipstick but they were solid and in a white lipstick style case.

These are the lipstick ones, not white like I thought.
