Redskins:
Redskins are a confectionery item which is manufactured in Australia. They refer to raspberry flavoured chewy candies that are under the umbrella Willy Wonka brand, owned by Nestle.
The candy is packaged in an 11.5 gram bar which is wrapped in paper. It is also now available in lollipop form and can be purchased in multipacks.

A redskin advertisement caused great controversy in New Zealand where it aired. The advertisment showed Mark Wright mocking the Indian culture and was banned by the board of New Zealand. This ties to the original packaging of redskins which featured an American indian.
Recently I came across an interesting recipe which combined redskins and vodka. Give it a try by following the instructions in this link: http://www.weekendnotes.com/redskin-vodka-recipe/. Aeroplane Jelly also has a good recipe for redskin flavoured jelly which can be found on their website: http://www.aeroplanejelly.com.au/Recipes/Create-a-Jelly/Redskin-Jelly.aspx
