The Hot Tamales gum packs some heat! I find Hot Tamales candy nicely cinnamon flavored and not as hot as Atomic Fireballs for example, but the Hot Tamales gum made me choke it was so hot. I wasn't prepared for the heat. It's almost like eating a hot pepper. However, once the heat wore down and the candy shell was dissolved, the gum actually had a nice and sweet cinnamon flavor.
At Walgreens this gum sells for 2 for $3 or one for like $1.59. The Mike and Ike bag has 75 pieces and Hot Tamales has 50. I may have to stock up some more M&I before it's gone.

I got a bag of each the other day after reading your post. The Mike and Ike flavor are awesome! I haven't dipped into the Hot Tamales bag yet, I'm a little afraid!
Sweet! I'm glad I turned you on to a good, new candy. That's what I'm here for! Be brave and go for the tamales. If you can stand spicy thai food you can handle it.
Chewing the HOT TAMALE now... LUV IT!!
I found these on a trip from Michigan to Washington D.C., and had never seen them before, and have not found anyone in my area selling them since. I liked the Mike and Ike flavors, but didn't think the flavor lasted long enough for me to buy it again. The Hot Tamales gum, however, is awesome, and I am pacing myself to make the last few pieces last. I am actually considering ordering them online if I can't find any store selling them.
