Should green sweets be apple or lime flavour?

Lime for me. Such a disappointment when they turn out to be apple.

Lime.

And purple is blackcurrant not grape.

And blue is raspberry because reasons.

Lime.

Mont should also be green. It depends on the shade of green.

Depends - if they're in a pack with lemon flavoured sweets I would expect apple, but do prefer lime.

EBearhug · 21/02/2021 12:09

Mint, not mont. What the point of autocorrect?

BoomBaBoom · 21/02/2021 12:09

Apple for sure!

CassandraCross · 21/02/2021 12:09

Lime agree with the disappointment when it turns out to be apple, who wants apple flavour, ugh.

What I want to know is why is raspberry blue?!

BammBamm · 21/02/2021 12:09

Definitely apple

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 21/02/2021 12:10

Apple. The green haribo have always been apple. Lime is nice in a drink and awful in a sweet.

TheSockMonster · 21/02/2021 12:11

Depends on the sweet.

I once took what I thought was a chocolate lime from a dish of similarly wrapped sweets on a hotel reception desk.

It was apple.

The disappointment!

I bought a friend a bottle of blue vodka from foreign parts that turned out to be raspberry flavour, we had no idea what flavour it would be!

Doyoumind · 21/02/2021 12:12

Blue for raspberry to distinguish from strawberry of course. But sometimes pink or red turns out to be raspberry but with a different flavour to blue raspberry.

Agree purple should be blackcurrant and never grape.

I'd have thought red strawberry and pink raspberry would make more sense! Grin

Green sweets should be chocolate limes.
Purple must be blackcurrant
Whoever first decided that raspberry should be blue is a fool.

Apparently your not alone being confused by a sweet not tasting like its colour

Light green is lime, dark green is apple.

MissFlite · 21/02/2021 12:17

If proper emerald green then apple. Obviously.

Lime would be a yellowy green.

This is the type of question that keeps me up at night Grin

SnottyLottie · 21/02/2021 12:20

Apple

PepsiArcade · 21/02/2021 12:21

Definitely apple, I hate lime flavoured sweets!
