A law has passed. You can only have one colour for sweets from now one... what colour?

(flavour is irrelevant)

red?
orange?
green?
yellow?

I pick green

Sweet colour is orange (then red)

Sweet wrapper colour is gold.

Catfacecats · 07/09/2018 14:49

Always red.
Love green when it’s Apple.
Always hate black as hate blackberry/black currant.

Red. I honestly find it difficult to believe people are seriously choosing green.

Interested in this thread?

When dd was little, I convinced her that green sweets were the nicest, followed by yellow and I'd 'begrudgingly' eat all the purple, black and red ones. Took years for her to cotton on.

I have no morals.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 07/09/2018 15:22

Black. Blacker than black. Preferably if they're licorice or blackcurrant

CutesyUserName · 07/09/2018 15:23

Red from your list.

Though brown (butterscotch sugar free from Aldi) are my all time faves.

PineappleTart · 07/09/2018 15:26

Green every time. They just taste so green. Especially wine gums

RatRolyPoly · 07/09/2018 15:29

What about cola bottles? For the love of god, you can't take my cola bottles!!

rainbowstardrops · 07/09/2018 15:49

Red without a doubt!

FanWithoutAGuard · 07/09/2018 15:52

Red. It's always Red.

Oh, except smarties, then it's orange.

juneau · 07/09/2018 15:53

Red or black are my favourites.

WhatWouldLeslieKnopeDo · 07/09/2018 15:54

Red, as long as they're strawberry or raspberry, and not cherry.

JustlikeDevon · 07/09/2018 17:20

I used to like yellow opal fruits but as they are gone, green.
Purple fruit polos.
Orange Smarties.

Few colours are safe though. Green can sometimes be Apple which is gross, or red tricks you when it's cherry. If there was a law that stated green had to be lime I think I'd want that.

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 07/09/2018 17:23

Black then red if fruit pastilles or fruit gums.
Orange if smarties
Red if skittles
Green always last.

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 07/09/2018 17:25

Cherry is foul! Especially Moams. (Sp?)

Thebookswereherfriends · 07/09/2018 17:27

Green if it’s always lime flavour- if that’s not guaranteed then I’ll have yellow.

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 07/09/2018 17:30

Orange. But I can’t separate the colour from the flavour, so I’m confused!

Orange smarties, orange Opal Fruits Starburst, orange wine gums, all the best ones.

M&Ms I’d have to say blue just for novelty value. In fact we used M&Ms as counters in a game while we were camping and when the DCs ate the blue ones I was horrified - “they’re worth £500 each!!!! Stop eating them!” Browns were £5 each.

Least favourite colour is usually green.

Alicatz66 · 07/09/2018 17:31

Always red

DwangelaForever · 07/09/2018 17:42

Red! I only ever eat red jellies lol.

Blue sweets are nice though, blue raspberry laces and jolly ranchers 😍😍😍

Alwayscommuting · 07/09/2018 18:01

Red, always red

CigarsofthePharoahs · 07/09/2018 18:06

Orange.
Then yellow then green.
I'm not a fan of purple. I've never liked blackcurrant and I've never understood the popularity.

YoloThankfully · 07/09/2018 18:40

Green

Walkerbean16 · 07/09/2018 18:41

but lots of red sweets are coloured with bugs Envy

FaFoutis · 07/09/2018 18:42

Black.

catinboots9 · 07/09/2018 19:45

I throw orange opal fruits out of the car window. Wrapper n'all.

Orange sweets are the work of the devil.
