Why are there never enough black wine gums?!

[Myotherusernameisaferrari]

I mean, who would voluntarily go for the orange ones over any other colour?

It isn't just wine gums either. Fruit pastilles, jelly babies etc - even things like Roses and Quality Street, you get lots more of the colours / flavours which are a bit meh and only a couple of the best ones.

Why?!

And does anyone want to swap their green and black sweets for my red and orange?

I hate those ones! I’d happily trade you for green ones (which are the best shortly followed by red then yellow)

Never enough black wine gums, nor those white-ish ones that taste like a mix of pear and pineapple!!!

Green are doable, red too but the rest is just pants in a bag!

I'll trade you some blue and pink bobbly ones from a packet of liquorice allsorts.

Reds should be banned and swapped for black ones.

To make way for more yummy green ones . Greens are the tastiest by far !

The greens taste of toilet duck.

I’m with you OP. Everyone knows that black ones are the best, closely followed by green, with orange trailing so far behind they might as well not be in the race.

Best sweets of all though are the liquorice Bertie’s and the little white Haribo jelly babies

Now I'm older I just buy the bags of red and blacks.
I've done my time with whites and oranges.

Definitely with you. Fruit pastilles used to do bags of red and purple, wine gums need to do the same with red and black.

Or a whole bag of black ones, that would be a happy day😍

Black and then red.

Black and red definitely. To pp who said green tastes like toilet cleaner - hear hear. Absolutely disgusting.

I hear you OP. It has been a lifelong struggle. Don't know why they don't sell bags with just the black ones in.

The greens taste of toilet duck.
How do you know what toilet duck tastes like ?

I completely agree op. At least with fruit pastilles you can get the bag of "red and blacks". They need to do the same for wine gums.... as long as they include the whites too 😁

Can I also add red and purple skittles??!!??

The black ones are definitely the best! Closely followed by green, then the whites, yellows, red and the oranges can go to hell.

They should do a national referendum. Yes black are the best, followed by red, then green.

Institutional racism.

Orange are the top ones. I detest the black ones. I'm not keen on anything blackcurrant flavour.

You know you can buy bags of just the red and black ones right?

I bought a bag of Fruit Pastilles last week and over half of them were yellow 😠

Black Sweets Matter.

There are never enough.

Tesco wine gums: Love the black ones. Then red and orange, in that order. Hate the green and yellow ones (but end up eating them the next day and then feeling faintly ill and fat and cross with myself).
Then vow never to buy them again.
But of course I do.

The problem with the black and red ones are the red ones are vastly overrated! Now if they did black and green...

It's more a case that I can't understand why the proportions are so off. Surely the black ones can't cost more?? It's like Celebrations always have loads of milky way (which actually I love) but everyone scraps over the malteasers / galaxy - why not just put equal proportions in? (Although I definitely benefit with the milky ways).

I've decided that I'm opening a sweet shop where I'm going to sort all the sweets out and you can do pick and mix with only the colours / flavours you want.
