A mix of fruit salads, blackjacks and sherbet flying saucers.

Blackjacks are shit now, hardly any liquorice flavour and THEY DON'T GIVE YOU A PROPERLY DYED TONGUE!! The outrage...

Oh and weren’t fruit gums so much better when they were hard and dimpled? Not these squishy abominations with fruits embossed on the top that we have now.

#Bringbackthedimples!

A box of Neapolitans please. Oh and if you could get a sherbet dip-dab that would be lovely. And maybe some Terrys All Gold, and on the miraculous off-chance they have any chicken flavour Discos, a whole wheelbarrowful. Ta ever so.

Oh I’m not sure. I’ve just googled it and the only thing Thats come up is Sweet Peanuts but that doesn’t feel completely right either?

I've remembered! Sweet peanuts or as we used to call them Monkey nuts!

HeadDeskHeadDesk · 21/09/2025 18:20

Midget Gems? Floral Pips? Some of you are a disgrace.

Bon Bons. Vanilla please. White chocolate and pink chocolate mice and those flat white and pink chocolate discs with the coloured sprinkles on them.

Jelly babies. Lemon Sherbets. Those butter mints that are hard and sucky on the outside and chewy on the inside. Thank you. Here is my 15p. All in coppers.

Pringlebeak · 21/09/2025 18:20

I think chewing nuts were chocolate covered toffees.

They were gorgeous. I loved the middles.

StinkerTroll · 21/09/2025 18:21

Chewy fruity sweets with shiny wrappers please, the lemon tastes how I imagine lemon washing up liquid tastes (delicious btw!). Be quick please, I'm really craving them now!!
