Of course I've heard of it. I even bought some for my mom last Christmas
because I know she loves it and she no longer makes candy. One of the
grocery stores was selling it.

She made the mistake of making it for the 6th grade Christmas party when she
was the room mother. Most people didn't take any and most of the few who
did, didn't eat any more after taking a tiny taste. I don't think it is
something most kids would like. Then when my mom was taking the leftovers
to her car, one girl offered to help her and praised her divinity. My mom
knew she would eat it all herself if she took it home because none of the
rest of us liked it. So the girl said she would take it. My mom gave it
to her and she was very happy! The rest of us just said, "You can have it!"
So clearly some kids like it but at least in those days, not many did.
