Red always!

Whatthetrolley · 22/04/2023 19:39

Black then red. Orange at a push once the other 2 have gone. Never green and yellow. They go into he bin!

SequinsandStilettos · 22/04/2023 19:46

Orange is the new black
wine gum, pastille, jelly tot, starburst, smarties, m+ms, orange is the boss bitch of them all Wink

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 22/04/2023 19:47

Green - I really wish that I could buy bags of just green ones; or maybe a few yellows as well.

Red and black - yuck

DramaAlpaca · 22/04/2023 19:55

Green are always the best, followed by yellow.

Then red, then orange and finally black.

I always eat them in reverse order.

Nellieinthebarn · 22/04/2023 19:56

I like the green ones best usually, unless there are white ones that are fake pear flavour, thats the best best flavour.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 22/04/2023 19:59

Green. Always green. Then red, unless there's a pink one...

Mamette · 22/04/2023 20:00

Red or black.

twoastars · 22/04/2023 20:00

Green every time.

Splodgerbodgerbadger · 22/04/2023 20:01

Yellow

Clowance · 22/04/2023 20:03

Definitely green.

Unless it's apple flavour instead of delicious lime 😠

WorriedMillie · 22/04/2023 20:03

Green and yellow, I love lemon and lime flavoured sweets!

EggInANest · 22/04/2023 20:05

Black and red. No doubt.

SpawnofFrog · 22/04/2023 20:06

Purple fruit pastilles
Red wine gums
Orange and pink starburst
White haribo jelly babies
Orange smarties

IHeartGeneHunt · 22/04/2023 20:06

Orange!

CC4712 · 22/04/2023 20:06

Red, orange then down the line a long way is green

At end very bottom of the pit is black 😝

MysweetAudrina · 22/04/2023 20:09

Red always
Black next
Green if apple but not lime
Yellow if pear but not lemon
Orange always laser

humblemeep · 22/04/2023 20:11

Green if it's lime, then black, then yellow, then red. Never ever ever orange!! 🤢

ThePoshUns · 22/04/2023 20:17

Green
Yellow
Red

willieversleepagain1 · 22/04/2023 20:18

It blows my mind that green is some people’s first choice. I know that’s very narrow minded of me! Greens are always given to my non fussy partner or they go in the bin.

Red and black are the winners by far.

WolfFoxHare · 22/04/2023 20:19

Orange then red. Black at a push, then yellow, green last.

WolfFoxHare · 22/04/2023 20:20

Pear flavoured fruitella were amazing but I don’t think they make them any more.

TellerTuesday · 22/04/2023 20:21

RED!

Is, always has been and always will be red.

Then orange, yellow, green and black in that order. Greens & blacks are usually left for DH.

Hell, yes to this.

ApolloandDaphne · 22/04/2023 20:24

Orange is the best

Green, red and yellow acceptable.

Black not eaten at all as I don't like blackcurrant flavour.
