My local post office still does these! They have all of the classic sweets in jars, still measured on a counter scale 😂 I don't know what I'll do it they stop!

Maom Joystix - the cola ones are fabulous
Fruit pastilles
Percy Pigs

Hedonism · 23/08/2022 20:36

Liquorice allsorts, or just a massive cup of pick & mix.

I also usually have a packet of Lidl jelly beans in my glove box, for emergencies 🤣

Thighdentitycrisis · 23/08/2022 20:39

oh goddd I want one! Are they the huge variety ?

Milk bottles and Malaco foam mushrooms

Scoobyblue · 23/08/2022 20:41

Jelly tots. Heaven.

yonce · 23/08/2022 20:41

@Thighdentitycrisis they're ginormous!! A good 5 minutes worth per sweet if you're not a cruncher!

zaza687 · 23/08/2022 20:50

Just wondering can't you take any sweets travelling or not ?

LoveBugBride · 23/08/2022 20:53

Swizzles - parmaviolets or lovehearts
Fruitella
Starburst
Skittles

I eat sweets everyday pretty much and never had a filling yet!

The green keys out of a haribo tangfastics, and some maoams!

Yirk · 23/08/2022 20:56

Shrimps and bananas.
Chocolate éclairs.

LittleLlama · 23/08/2022 21:05

M&S Percy Pigs
Jelly Babies
Proper Sherbet Lemons

Although to be honest it would actually be quicker to list the sweets I don’t like.
