cin-cins or Sen-Sen penny candy?

Wondering if anyone knows what I’m talking about or if these even exist.

Someone I know used to tell me about this candy they would get from a penny candy store in Scranton when they were a kid (in the 60s). The spelling I always made up in my head was cin-cins (cin pronounced like sin). For nostalgia’s sake I tried looking it up to see if I could find them anywhere. However what usually happens is I get redirected to webpages talking about Sen-Sen. I have no idea if this is the same candy or not. The pronunciation of Sen-Sen seems to differ from the candy I was told about which makes me think they are separate things but I could be wrong.

Does anyone have any idea what I’m talking about and if cin-cins were something different than Sen-Sen? It would be very cool if I could find these so any help would be greatly appreciated.
