please help me find my favourite childhood sweets!

[orangegrape]

i've been trying to find them for years but never have any luck. used to get them in the late 90's. they were really small hard round sweets (about the size of mini smarties?) bright colours and fruit flavours.

i can remember eating them out of a paper bag so i think they were either from a pick and mix or in a big tub in the corner shop.

dm said she thought they were called "millions and trillions" but any google search just brings up millions.


anyone got any ideas?

I’m thinking sherbet pips

[Mynametodaywillbe]

Oooh yes. I used to get those little pips but there were blue and pinks ones in it that were the best. They stuck together at the slightest hint of moisture.

Google retro sweets see if you can find them.

We're they in the shape of fruits? Ie like little tiny bananas?

[orangegrape]

they were completely round and bright like smarties, not like pips are a bit dull if you get me!
