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!)

Pineapple cubes or rosy apples.

I called them monkey nuts

Chocolate limes, sherbet pips or maybe toffee pennies… I can’t decide

Chocolate jazzies please.

Proper, powdery milk bottles

Jamesons raspberry ruffles.

Oh lemonade powder? The bag would go soggy and disintegrate from constant dipping 😂

Oh, those little teacake things. I'm not even sure what they were but they sold them in Maynard's and they were lovely

Peanut brittle please. No, I’ve changed my mind. Rhubarb and custard. 🙂

Ohh yes a quarter of sweet peanuts please

My son works in a traditional sweet shop - it’s heaven :)

Chocolate limes please

American gums

Flying Saucers

Pre vegan/coeliac I would have asked for coconut mushrooms and pontefract cakes but now it’s flying saucers which I often buy from Iceland food warehouse along with sour dummies.

I was gutted they stopped making these! Picked up the new style ones a couple of weeks ago assuming they’d taste the same and that it was just a different shape… nope. They taste like soap now.

Apparently the machine kept breaking so they changed the design of the letters… and have since changed the recipe too.

How has nobody mentioned:

FLUMPS?

but I’ll take a bag of sherbet if possible please. Or some flumps. Or some fruit salads. Or failing all that some blackjacks. Thanks!

or cherry lips. So hard to decide!

Aw what a disappointment. I was quite excited when someone mentioned them and was about to go on a hunt for some, Don't think il bother now. They were great in the 80s every Saturday my mum would buy me a quarters worth from our local indoor market sweet stall.

Can I mention Burtons potato puffs even though theyre not a sweet. absolutely loved those and were only 10p a bag.

sherbet crystals please

Cinder toffee covered in chocolate please 😊

Yes! White chocolate mice and chocolate raisins for me!

Rhubarb and custard please.

Can I have coconut mushrooms please?? I heard they're stopping making them 🙄 Or blue bubblegum flavoured foamy mushrooms if thats what they have!! Thank you 😉😉😉
