If sweets (Haribo, pick n mix etc) are your thing, what’s your favourite

[IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece]

I’m a BIG peach or pineapple Haribo fan but I’m currently addicted to this bag of what can only be crack cocaine. I’ve eaten FAR too many recently

Cola bottles
Wine gums
American hard gums
Chocolate mice
Chocolate bananas
Jelly beans..multi flavours.

Coconut mushrooms (I’m old)

Flying saucers. Jazzies. And Parma Violets. DS wrapped up 27 packets of PVs for me for Christmas.

Cola bottles and pear drops 😍

Great, now look what you’ve all done!

Fizzy cherry cola bottles, Giant Strawbs, Randoms!

American Hard Gums are like catnip for me. I could eat buckets of them. When I was pregnant with my daughter I ordered 1kg of them in a jar from Amazon when I couldn’t find them locally and ate that in about a day.
I also love Rowntrees Pick and Mix.
Fruit pastilles.
Midget Gems.
Gummy Bears (but I reckon they taste different to how they did in the 1990s.)
Foam mushrooms (same issue, sure they tasted differently circa 1990!)
Giant strawberries.
Wham Bars.
Those boiled pip sweets (can’t remember what they are called.)
Sour strawberry laces.
I find at certain times of the month I really crave sour sweets!!

Liquorice allsorts but I'm diabetic so have sugar free sweets. Werther's originals sugar free don't taste any different from the real ones.

@OMarina Asda do American hard gums😋👍

Harribo terrific turtles, pick a big box up every time I go to Costco.
used to love the little harribo pink and yellow rhubarb and custard sticks but they changed the recipe a few years ago and they're just not the same, would love a bag of the old recipe ones.

I love Haribo liquorice with sweet stuff in the middle but for some reason they don’t sell them in Ireland. ☹️

Right now those tangy jelly tots. They are sooo sour I love them

Maoam Pinballs… amazed no one’s already said it!!!

I was given a bag of Randoms Fizzy Cactuz today, hadn't had them before but they are delicious.

Ah my kind of thread! I’m on chemo and it’s making me crave SO many sweets! 🍭 fizzy laces, milk bottles, giant strawberry, fruit gums, fruit pastilles, liquorice toffee, fizzy fish, strawberry cables, jelly beans ( the mixed flavour type) my list could go on….

Oh Chewits ( but ice cream flavour) and I can’t find them anywhere!

Anyone remember the 10p mixed bag with half penny sweets included? You got so many sweets for your money!

Haribo Miami PIK are my #1 sweet in the world.

Generally stock up in France. Although not found them the last couple of months.

Back home I’m a giant strawbs kinda girl. Some of the more sour Fini sweets are good too.

My local newsagent had a glass fronted cabinet with all half and penny sweets.
Lucky tatties ..with a 5p in it if you were lucky.
Chelsea whoppers
Cola bottles
Dainty caremels
Small golden cup..if you were loaded
Mb bars
Sweetie fags
Golden tobbaco
Wee bottles of cresta..it's frothy man.
Crisps 2 and half pence.
We would rake for ale bottles,pop bottles in England and cash them in and split the money between us.

Some of the above maybe Scotland only
Circa early 70s on wards.

Sweetie fags! Yes they were white with a little red blob at the end; several in a box with an opening flap at the top. I think they did brown ones, which may have been bubble/chewing gum and they are individually wrapped.

Swizzels Drumsticks are my absolute favourites, closely followed by refresher bars. But red/black coloured fruit pastilles, wine gums, anything really will do!! Love Hearts, delicious! Anything spearmint, but I don't like peppermint. I don't like hard lollipops.

You got chocolate ones in a soft pack and were wrapped in white paper to look like a real pack of cigs.

Swizzles drumsticks.. delicious! Must buy some tomorrow. It’s the creamy chewy, fruity taste and texture which I love!

Thats right, chocolate ones, not bubble gum.

To be fair were talking about things from 45..50 years ago eek.
We can't remember it all😋👍
