First thing that popped in my mind was Tamarinds.
(A bit of a long shot though, as a lot of things have that shape)

================================================
Too red for Tamarind I think - the tamarind at my Asian store is
chocolate brown and much shorter.
It sorta looks like some kind of tubes ffilled with tomatoes and

It looks like a sweet made by stringing nuts and then dipping the string
in concentrated fruit juice. Popular in Turkey and Georgia. Don't know
the name however.

"churchkhela" in Georgian.

Excellent!

The person who posted the photo eventually said, "It's a Georgian candy
called churchkhela ჩუáƒ*ჩხელáƒ�. It's walnuts strung together
and repeatedly dipped in sweetened grape juice until the nuts are
enveloped in a fruit-leather sortof coating. A dear Georgian friend is
always plying me with some Georgian treat. Watch out, here comes the
mchadi..."

sweet. When cut apart, looks like jewels on a string.

One Christmas season, my grilf's cat ate tinsel. We discovered this when
he walked by dragging a long piece of it outta his ass. Strung on it
every so often were cat turd "beads". How festive!
