have developed a huge love of them recently.(i'm not pregnant, just greedy)and i wondered what treats you love but are a bit peculiar as we're supposed to be grown-ups.

YABU if you're not going to share them.

Backtobedlam · 11/12/2011 21:33

YABU, if you want something fizzy it has to be those really sharp tasting fizzy laces. They are so fizzy they actually hurt my tongue-cola bottles are pretty tame in comparison.

Tangfastics knocks spots off cola bottles Xmas Wink

i don't share. my dc don't like sweets. they are strange. offer them haribo or drumstick lollies and they say no thank u. people then think i'm a mad organic earth mum who stops them eating them. but no the truth is i love sweets. the more fizzy or sour the better.

Thanks for reminding me. I have a coke tin money box for DDs stocking and I'm going to fill it with fizzy coke bottle sweets.

I bought some for DH for christmas.

Extravagant I know, but he's worth it Smile

We're like Jack Spratt and his wife because thankfully I'm much more of a shrimp person.

spiderslegs · 17/12/2011 01:55

Ahh DH & I are Jack Spratt & his wife - he really won't eat any fat & I don't eat lean.

I cram pork fat, crisps & fizzy haribo down like there's no tomorrow.

spiderslegs · 17/12/2011 01:56

He just waves around in an effeye manner.

spiderslegs · 17/12/2011 01:57

Effette

TroublesomeEx · 17/12/2011 06:53

Chalk lollies.

Although I didn't realise we were supposed to grow out of them!

liveinazoo · 17/12/2011 06:57

yum to all of the above!i love kids sweets.....my fave at the moment are meerkat jelly sweets from morrisonsXmas Blush.they arent as sickly as jelly babies so i can snaffle more of themGrin

I bought a bag of fizzy cola bottles yesterday, having found a non-gelatine kind. (They were my main sacrifice when becoming vegetarian...)

purpleknittingmum · 17/12/2011 07:12

Love most sour sweets, like the cherry ones, and those yellow chewy refresher things!

Shutupanddrive · 17/12/2011 07:19

YANBU I love fizzy sour sweets too

TroublesomeEx · 17/12/2011 08:03

Hardcheese did they taste the same? They were also my biggest sacrifice. I've almost forgotten what they taste like.... What are they? Where are they from? Thanks. I stopped looking a fair while ago.

pingu2209 · 17/12/2011 10:32

You are totally unreasonable. It has to be Percy Pigs everytime.

IvantaOuiOui · 17/12/2011 11:47

Drumstick lollies. I even have a Drumstick lip balm.

RomanChristingle · 17/12/2011 11:50

YANBU the cherry cola ones are the best! I love sour sweets but they have to be REALLY sour. I hate it when you get cola bottles and they just have a sweet sugary coating.
Percy Pigs are yum too.

MixedBerries · 17/12/2011 12:09

Mmmmmmm. Agree with Roman about the disappointment and unacceptability when sour sweets aren't actually sour- just sugar coated. When will they learn? Tut tut.

MistressFrankly · 17/12/2011 12:22

Hugely addicted to all and every childs sweet. I had popping candy yesterday. Heston Bloomintowel (have no idea how to spell his name but like mine better) uses it all the time so its now officially grown up.

might nip out and get some flying saucers and those rainbow coloured rockhard sugar encrusted sugarpuff thingies Xmas Grin

NinkyNonker · 17/12/2011 12:33

Oh I love all things chewy, fizzy, sour, sweet...must buy some later....
