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?

I'm partial to the Maoam balls and chews myself.

Didn't you used to be able to get bags of toffee from thorntons too or am I misremembering that? The nutty toffee that you could't speak for ages because your jaws were glued together.

Chocolate peanuts.
Sour cherries.
Fizzy cola bottles.
Flying saucers.
Giant strawberries.
Strawberry laces.
Refreshers.
Sherbert lemons.
Swizzles.
Fried eggs.

Swedish Fish and fizzy anything. Fruit salads, black jacks, refreshers. Anything sour.

Yabu for your foamy selection. I know we’re not in aibu, but this is a serious matter

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.

Highly recommended!

Haribo strawbs

Jelly babies. I always forget how much I like them until I have one then I have to eat the whole pack.

I love sweets! I go through phases of favourites - currently on Skittles for home & Sainsbury's Wine Gums for the car (for the whole family!).
Other favourites are:
Fruit Gums
Chewy Refeshers
Drumsticks
Haribo Giant Strawbs

Unfortunately some great sweets have been ruined in recent years by removing sugar, gelatine etc - so long Percy Pigs & Refreshers (hard tabs) 😩

I've had pick n mix from Thiscandy.com

And Sweetzy

Pontefract Cakes
Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls
Pineapple Chunks
Sour Apples
Chocolate Limes
Treacle Toffee
Pear Drops
Flying Saucers
Rainbow Kali with a hard, halfpenny Spanish to dip in.

I don't think modern foam bananas or prawns have the same texture or flavour as the good ol' days. I wouldn't touch Haribo, new fangled nonsense! DH favours jelly babies, I can take 'em or leave 'em

Argh sweets are my downfall...

I love:

Fizzy Dracula teeth
Jelly Dracula teeth
Haribo turtles
Fizzy bubblegum bottles
Fizzy dummies
Jelly dolphins
Haribo heart throbs
Jelly lips

Lovehearts are my favourite.

Ohhh that reminds me - Thornton’s used to make a chocolate toffee - chocolate flavoured toffee, not ordinary toffee covered in milk chocolate - it was the nicest toffee I have ever had, but they stopped making it years ago, and I mourn it still.

I love all sweets :o

Those liquorice sticks filled with sherbert with a hard piece of candy in the end.

The lollipops you get at tourist attractions - big swirly ones

The aniseed pink and blue ones

Werther's Originals

Proper home made fudge like you get at craft markets - all the weird flavours!

Proper mint humbugs with the toffee centre
