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!)

Toffee Bonbons please!

Urgh cheap chocolate is the worst!

Top of the list is always the pink and blue fizzy bottles (but if they have run out then those delicious milk bottles with the powdery coating or the mushrooms)

Opal fruits, actual opal fruits none of this Starburst nonsense

Oh I LOVE those. Not seen any for ages

Please could I have some of those fruity rectangular boiled sweets with the squishy insides that used to be in the pick and mix at Woolies, and which I’m sure were called bonbons despite not being anything like the other kind of bonbon.

I can remember when you'd walk to the local newsagent and ask for a 2.5p mix bag - when did the half pence stop being a thing? Okay google tells me 1969 but that can't be right because I was born in 76 and was definitely buying 2.5p mix bags at age 4.

Very hard to choose between bananas and cola
bottles but I’ll go cola for the nostalgia.

Perfect post OP!
My mouth is watering

Oh good call

Just one? God, I can't pick. Maybe milk bottles - the proper, powdery ones. I really miss Woolworth's pick & mix - the sweeties and the 'adults' section with fancy chocolate and Turkish Delight 😋.
It's best I'm kept well away from pick & mix though as I have, in the past, eaten so much of it that I have felt dreadful 🙈😂

Coconut mushrooms please.

1984

Shrimps please or a quarter of lemon sherbets.

I was addicted to Kop Kops - I’m kinda glad I can’t get them any more!

Oooh rum truffles please 😍

Teddy Bears

Yum

Shrimps & bananas please.
oh and the chocolates with hundreds & thousands on (can’t remember what they’re called).
oh and sweet cigarettes, especially the chocolate ones wrapped in thin paper.

My mouth is watering now 😋

What? The ones that were made to make your mouth water?

and some for me too!

Aniseed Balls or Fried Eggs

You’re welcome!
