Best sweets ?

[custardbear]

I bought some of those foamy shrimps and bananas from Asda last week - was really looking forward to them and DH ATE THEM ALL! 😵
So, I bought two packets yesterday! I am just sitting down with tea and bag of said foamy delights - goodness I forgot how amazing they are!
What's your sweet favourites?

Asda do great sweets, don't they? I know the foamy shrimps and bananas of which you speak. They were a mainstay of our office 'table of shame' along with the cocktail flavoured jellies they do.
But in answer to your question, I think I'd have to go with jelly babies. Classic. Although I do love a liquorish allsort but I have to be in the mood.

My kind of thread. I like those foam rhubarb and custard pencils. That are pale pink, yellow & green.

I've rediscovered fruit gums of late.

I used to love a spearmint chew.

Maybe not the best, but this has made me think about friut salad & blackjack sweets that I had as a kid.

I do still like wine gums & fruit pastilles.

Parma violets anyome??

Jelly beans. I would have said jelly tots but they ruined them when they changed the shape.

Bon bons or jelly beans

The foam mushrooms - amazing!

Obviously foam shrimps and bananas are right up there, but I'm partial to skittles and fruitless too.

Chewing nuts
Cola cubes
Jelly beans
The fizzy fangs
And jellies that aren't the haribo type jellies, so for example the big strawberries.
We have a old fashioned sweet shop local that's been there 50 odd years and it's just heaven I spend far too much when I go there.
I now want to go there when dh gets in

Blackjack and fruit salad!

Asda sour rainbow belts.

Maynard's milk gums in milk bottle shape. Can't get authentic tasting ones since M&S ruined their recipe

I LOVE liquorice all sorts but if I eat a whole packet I get a migraine

Ooh yes bon bons-toffee filling & a sort of icing sugar coating?

Coconut mushrooms-used to love them!

Palma Violets. They bring me great joy.

Drumstick squash 'ems

Fruit salads or Moam chews

Parma violets

Coconut mushrooms, and fizzy fish are my favourites!

Gold Bears
Jelly beans (the posh type ones)

Literally cannot choose just one. But... If i am getting my dream pick n mix, I want...
Foam bananas
Chocolate raisins
Milk bottles
White jazzles
Sour apple boiled sweets
One of those jelly snakes

Strawberry bonbons
Blackjacks

Hardly ever eat sweets because the standard ones in the shops like Skittles, starburst etc just don’t appeal! But special pick n mix ones - yes please.

Honeycomb toffee.

Is that still available?

@CheerfulBunny - table of shame! We need one of these of which you speak 😜

I love the foamy mushrooms and love the turtles! Might order a pix n mix!

Cola bottles, those sugar covered ones actually, were a definite favourite as a child ... and flying saucers too 🥰
