Sweets you hated as a child

[Lindajonesjustcantlivemylife]

Not sure if this has been done before.ill start with..
Sherbet flying saucers
Original caramac
Refreshers
Pink panther chocolate
Love hearts
Round toffee flavour lollipops
And lastly not so much a sweet.. Lucky bags they promised so much and delivered so little.
Memories of a 70s kid.

Rhubarb & Custard sweets
the bobbly round ones in Liquorice Allsorts
Bounty Bars
Milk Bottles 🤢

Foam bananas, fried eggs and coffee boiled sweets or anything coffee.

Anything liquorice.

I'm not a fan of some , and as a vegetarian I don't eat Liquorice Allsorts but I do like RJs Natural Licorice (soft eating )

I bought two 300g bags last Saturday and by Sunday , I didn't have them .

Cadburys creme eggs
Turkish delight
Coffee cremes

Flying Saucers
Rainbow Drops
Anything with mint and chocolate together
Those hard chewy red sweets (?lips) that tasted like soap
‘Chocolate’ cigars / cigarettes
Any cheap ‘chocolate’

Toffee crisp, Dairy Crunch, Mars bars and Marathons.

The ones that look like mini eggs but aren’t Cadburys, taste so disappointing.

I'm sorry, I just cannot process this.

If you live anywhere near a branch of Sostrene Grene (think it's a Danish company but we have several in NI and I know they're expanding in the UK), they have loads of types of liquorice and liquorice flavoured stuff, so you might find a nicer tea there?

‘Old Fashioned’ Spangles

Anything aniseed, especially the jelly sprogs in the Licquorice Allsorts

Any mints.

Coconut, especially “desecrated” (desiccated) on cakes.

Marshmallows - I can’t bear to look at them.
Why ruin hot chocolate with them?!

Turkish Delight. It was a real disappointment after Edmund wanted it so badly in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Biscuits with raisins instead of chocolate chips. Not fair!

As an adult, I like chocolate, but not other sweets.

Black Jacks/liquorice
Aniseed balls
Mint imperials
Those silver balls that you could easily break your teeth on.

I can remember the pick n mix two for 1p sweets in the corner shop!

Fake money notes.
All Sorts.
Foam Shrimps.
Sports Mixture.

Tooty Frooties - the vilest sweet ever invented, they tasted like acetone or some other horrible solvent.

Pear drops, for the same reason as above.

All chewy sweets except Opal Fruits, they were okay.

All foamy sweets without exception.

Imitation smarties, and those faux chocolate buttons with bobbly bits on. Such evil deceptions, and mean to pull that trick on a child.

Pear Drops
Anything with mint

Liquorice allsorts. My dad used to love these and I'd bite the coconut bit off that one sweet then give the liquorice bit to my dad 🤣

Flying saucers were just pointless. The sherbet was drowned out by the tastelessness of the saucer.

Sugared almonds were very popular in Portugal when we lived there for a couple of years. Grim.

I loved all sweets, especially toffee crunch, which they don't make any more (the stuff you can buy online isn't proper toffee crunch). This is probably why I am on Mounjaro and am six stone overweight.

Black Jacks
Liquorice
Aniseed balls

Absolutely loved Flying Saucers and still do 🛸

I used to push the liquorice middle out of those pink and white doughnut shaped ones and just eat the outers. Even then I could still taste the contamination. 😝Liquorice truly is the sweet of Satan.

Only the dog liked those.

Rainbow drops. Absolutely disgusting, taste stale… just 🤮

Because lots of people liked them? Like me?😋

Sweet peanuts boiled sweets
