Facts from the source article.
History
Sixlets have been around since at least 1960, first produced by Leaf Brands. Hershey took over Leaf's North American candy operations in 1996, acquiring Sixlets along with other brands. In 2003, Hershey licensed the Sixlets name to SweetWorks Confections. The candy may have gotten its name because it was originally sold six for a penny from a vending machine. A six-ball tube version debuted in 2017.
