gum balls

Round bubble candy

Gum balls are small, round pieces of brightly colored chewing gum, typically sold from coin-operated machines that dispense one at a time.

They have a hard candy shell and soft gum interior.

The term also describes the rounded emergency lights on police cars, from their shape and bright colors.
