I'm ordering pick n mix online and interested in what others' favourites are 🍬🍬

Swedish Fish; notably the white ones, oh my lord.

I like more or less any toffee that doesn't contain nuts, but especially rum butter and treacle. Callard and Bowser used to make a coffee toffee decades ago. Unforgettably strong but delicious flavour.

On the flip side, floral gums and coconut mushrooms are Satan's work and have no place on this Earth.

Not sure I've had a white one...

I quite like fizzy fish too...

Me too. Your selection looks similar to mine. The apple belts were a good call. I got an Apple Pencil with mine.

I got a 2kg tub (pic above) but I don't think it is as much as that as I got a 2kg bag of turtles from the Haribo shop once and that was massive. I know it depends on weight but this is clearly standard sized tub...

The ones I want are near the bottom...

I don't know what floral gums are

I'm also on the fence about jelly beans but sometimes Id get something small like that to fill up my cup if it's a cup size rather than weight pick n mix Grin

Rhubarb and custard and cola cubes if we're talking actual sweets but I'm currently doing a lot of damage to a large bag of mini Daims. Thanks Ikea!

AliceinBunniland · 20/01/2021 16:31

I love Daims but I actually prefer the Daim Milka bar because it taste like a daim but gets stuck in teeth less!

I love a Daim gateau as well

Right I’ve just spent twenty quid on pic n mix because of this thread (couldn’t stop thinking about pink chocolate mice, meerkats etc...mmm)

It’s the most exciting thing I’ve done in months and months!

AliceinBunniland · 20/01/2021 17:46

Having 2kg of sweets in front of me, I can say I am particularly enjoying the pink chocolate pigs and meerkats.

And generally all the foamy sweets and none of the fizzy ones.

I love the pink pigs, I picked 2 lots of those. Not loving the rainbow straps, bit toooooo tart lol but I picked them so I'll punish myself and eat them

AliceinBunniland · 20/01/2021 20:56

I got two lots of turtles Smile

I'm not fancying the sour ones either but I figure I wanted them at some point so maybe in a couple of days I'll want them!

The last two bags I've had have had no white ones, it's a travesty!!
