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?

Jelly beans
Foam bananas
Gold bears
Maoam
Rhubarb and custard anything!

I miss tootie frooties

Toffo sweets were lovely too 🤩

@custardbear yes, the mixed flavours ones!

Back in the 80s there used to be lovely strawberry milkshake flavoured Postman Pat chews. You were a failure as a postman but you made good sweets, Pat.

I love these threads

And I love shrimps and bananas
Bubblegum turtles
Bubble gum bottles
Pencils
Sour belts
Refreshers
Drumsticks
Midget gems

Pear drops

Candy sticks (the soft ones that are weighed out)
Bonfire toffee

Jelly Tots, although they have dicked about with the bloody shape of them which pisses me off.

I get travel sick so there is always a bag of boiled sweets in the car, currently Yorkshire Mixture.

And I'm rather partial to a packet of refreshers.

DH would say wine gums, in particular Maynards, every time. They are his absolute favourite.

The old full sugar rock hard,chewy Sports Mixture.

How do you order a pic 'n' mix????

I have been known (in normal time) to go to thr cinema and leave without seeing the film, with a bag of pic 'n' mix!

My faves are the white mice with the pink liquid (meant to be blood?) inside, white choc fish and chips, fruit salad, rhubarb & custard, bon bons- 80s child! I don't think anything tastes as nice anymore though.

I'm dubious of the character of anyone who would choose wine gums above all other sweets. They are clearly the worst sweets and have a cheek to even consider themselves sweets. Dreary little things.

I was addicted to refreshers when pregnant - helped stop the nausea!

Love milk chews, over the moon a couple of weeks ago when saw them in my corner shop, bit like a pack of only the white part of drumsticks

Milk bottles
Think Lidl’s are the best

🤢 white mice blood!! 😮

Asda do great Dollymixtures. I love Haribo dragibus but hard to find them at a decent price in the uk

I love Parma Violets and drumstick lollies, any of the old sweets really.
I used to love the cigarette sweets in a box, and weren’t there chocolate cigars in rice paper ?

I love dolly mixtures too - I feel a trip to asda coming up .... again 🤭

@orkneyfudge most picnmix is by Kansa King, you can buy it in bulk for the price of cinema pick n mix

I had forgotten about postman pat chews, did anyone ever buy them? I don’t remember anyone ever buying them and yet they were always in party bags!
