Nerds (previously called Dweebs) are an American candy owned by the Ferrara Candy Company. Dweebs were very similar to Nerds; but they were less sour and bigger in size. Super Sour Dweebs were also available only for a short time. "Rude Dog and the Dweebs" was also released on DVD around 2005. Dweebs only lasted a short time on the market, however.
