I’m going to the sweet shop

[sheistheslayer]

You can have 1 type of pick n mix, what are you getting?
I’m starting with white chocolate mice (I love cheap chocolate!)

Strawbs
Wine gums
Meerkats

You can still get those skull things I’m sure, I’ve had them in the last couple of years

Cola cubes please! 😄

Oh I used to love those! ❤️

Kop Kops
Those peanut shaped sweets with chopped peanuts inside

The large strawberry sweets please. But the obes from the 90s not the ones you get now. They don't taste the same and are not as chewy.

Acid drops or aniseed balls please

Keillor butterscotch and pear drops please

Ah that's such an evocative post 😊After primary school my DM would take me to the village shop. The shopkeeper was Mrs Haygreen who also performed quite a frustratingly slow ceremony. Firstly she had to waddle across behind the counter to fetch the little steps and then, once positioned, slowly and carefully heave herself onto them to fetch the jar down. She was expert at the paper bag twirling closure though. I can taste that quarter of sherbert pips now!

Raspberry Ruffles plse (the small ones)

Those blue brain jelly filled sweets please,
or if they’re not available then just foam bananas.

I remember when these were the 2p sweets and everything else was 1p 🤣 Had to ration how many I got, then save them till the end as they were my faves!

I am torn between fruit salads and cola bottles - the ones with the sugar on the outside.
Happy days

When I was on the primary school pta we were allocated to do a sweet tombola thing. We had an evening where we drank wine and packaged the sweets from the cash and carry. Then I stored them at home in my dining room for a few days.

Every time anyone went in that room during that time we had an inhaled sugar high. The smell was unbelievable.

That's what I'm having too!

And yes they do. This thread is the reason I've just ordered some from Amazon.

Rhubarb and custard chew and absolutely not ever ever black jacks 🤮

Peanut crunch.

It's got to be white mice for me! Either that or dusty milk bottles, I love that soft chalky milk flavour.

Chocolate jazzies

Strawberry bonbons

Dark chocolate mint creams, I could eat a whole bag!

White chocolate jazzies please

Strawberry cables please :)

Midget gems

Floral gums, Edinburgh rock, aniseed balls or sports mix before they took the liquorice ones out and replaced them with blackcurrant 😡
