Liquorice Allsorts

[BitSilly]

Are you a fan?
I've just bought a bag on a whim!
I only like the round pink and yellow coconut ones, and the spogs.
Any takers for the rest of the bag 😂
Which ones are your favourite?

The All Sorts gods were looking down on us because I would have been disappointed with your bag!!

We had these in Norway and loved them so much that I occasionally order them in bulk online (haven’t found anywhere I can buy them in the UK).

I wanted to like them but only liked orange ones the others were just pretty to look at

I don't know if I'm remembering correctly, but was there mint liquorice torpedo's - white, light green and darker green ones.
Also I remember the liquorice selection box with a really hard stick of liquorice that had a oval stamp at one end

I miss the fruit allsorts, a lot.

Love Licorice Allsorts but I do avoid buying them because I can easily eat a whole bag in one sitting! Sometimes allow a bag at Christmas - only a bag and not a box though because I’m the only one that would eat them (which I would enjoy, but my dentist may disagree!).

Was brought up on it as a very young child, love anything to do with liquorice and would happily eat a whole bag in one go.

I definitely remember white and pale green mint torpedoes. Also ‘Black and white mints’. You could buy them weighed out at sweet shops. The same as the five layer allsorts but the white layers were minty. My mum loved them. And those hard sticks dipped in cream soda/sherbet crystals.

TIL those vile crackly chewy teeth-clagging things are called spogs! Every day’s a school day.

So none of those for me, thanks. Or any of the sandwich ones with a layer of brown that’s weirdly chocolatey and oversweet but also musty tasting. These and all spogs should be discarded/given away immediately.

Remaining Allsorts in order of value:

1 Pink & yellow coconut logs
2 White tubes wrapped in liquorice
3 Three layer B&W sandwiches
4 Plain tubes of liquorice (and Berties, although as a relatively recent thing they don’t belong in the classic line up)
5 Yellow & pink sandwiches

This is based on years of methodical research, peer-reviewed (DH), so if you disagree I’m afraid I won’t be taking any further questions at this time. Thank you.

Spogs?! I always called them the bobbly ones. Never heard the word spog until tonight 🙄 but I've always loved them all including the coconut round ones. I haven't bought them for a very long time because just like Maltesers if I buy a bag or box it's almost impossible to not eat the lot in one evening.
