A handmade candy ball formed from crushed pieces of traditional hard mints. Children obtained these by trading empty glass bottles with a traveling street recycler (a 'botellero' would exchange these treats for glass bottles). They came in flavors like mint, strawberry, anise, and orange, or a mix of all of them.
Hey bottle maaaaan, give me a strawberry papamento.
