Spogs!

[BitSilly]

Without googling, do you know what spogs are?

No.

Anything to do with pogs?

🔵 maybe

I looked it up yesterday, after seeing the word on another thread on here. IYKYK!

The round aniseed ones in liquorice allsorts?

So did I!

Yep. The blue and pink bobbly sweet from liquorice allsorts

I know from another thread 😂but still not sure which one they are tho

They were mentioned last night on a thread about liquorice allsorts but I don't know which one they refer to. Never heard of it before and I LOVE a LA.

Only because I read that thread about (foul) liquorice allsorts 😄

I didn't, until yesterday when I googled it, due to another thread.

I only learned the name recently - love them!

Yes. I call them ‘the bobbly ones’. My husband loves Licorice Allsorts but isn’t keen on the bobbly ones which is great because I love the bobbly ones but not keen on the others. It’s not that I don’t like licorice (I do), I just don’t really like whatever that fondant stuff is they put around the licorice.

Absolutely yes.
Blue or pink, iykyk.

Only because of a thread yesterday although I do think that way way down in the section of my brain devoted to random things this was a snippet of knowledge I already knew.
One of them facts that was there but needed to be re-activated 😂

Generic slang for sweets where I grew up.

Yes, because I get bags of spogs from sweet shops. I don’t like liquorice but I do like aniseed so they’re my favourite element of liquorice allsorts.
I feel like the pink ones should be a different flavour from the blue ones but after extensive testing I can confirm they taste the same.

Yes! I was surprised that there were quite a number saying they'd learnt something new, hence this thread

Not before I saw it on the Liquorice Allsorts thread yesterday.
Never heard of the word.

Wonder if it is an age thing or a geographical thing ?
I'm from the Midlands, England.

bonjela sweeties is what they are known as in my house!

@Freshrain what do you know them as?

SE Home Counties here.

That's hilarious 😂😂
I love it.

Yes

Not sure they have ever had a specific name.

Have been referred to as "the horrible, bobbly ones" before, but I assume that is just within our family.
