Name That Candy!

Hey Yumsters,
Can you help a fellow candy-lover? He's sent in this query:

I remember buying boxes of red licorice candy from machines, back in the 70's. The name was "Redettes" or something. Can you help me with the correct name. I don't think they were strawberry flavored, but more like cherry.

Anyone?

Was it "Red-Ets"? I don't think they make them any more.

I remember this candy in the 70's with names of people on them. I think they were called "name drops". Does anyone remember these?

I used to buy boxes of Red-Ets all the time as a kid. Anyone know if they are available anywhere. Loved 'em! Little chunks of delicious licorice.....
