pixie sticks

Powdered candy tubes

Pixie Sticks are a candy consisting of flavored sugar powder in paper straws.

Children pour the powder directly into their mouths.

The intense sweetness makes them a reference point for anything sugary or hyperactivity-inducing: The kids were bouncing off the walls like they'd been mainlining Pixie Sticks.

Also spelled Pixy Stix (the brand name).
