Do you think kids today know what “No red hots” means? And do you?

Since kids don’t even seem to play outside anymore I wonder if they even know what “no red hots” means?

Edit: I’m very surprised yall don’t know. “Red Hots” was when you could throw the ball at the baserunner in a game like kickball or cabbage ball and if you hit them between bases they were out. Or in wall ball throwing the ball super hard at someone.

I played outside my entire childhood, and other than the already posted candy, I have no idea what "no red hots" would refer to.

Either humming the ball at a baserunner in kickball or some type of banned 4 square move?

I’m an adult and I don’t know what ‘No Red Hots’ means, so no my kids don’t either

I'm 46. My generation would've taken the hit and almost immediately gotten revenge.

I like Red Hots but it’s fake cinnamon flavor now. Nothing is sacred.
