AIBU to buy pombears...(light hearted)

[SocietyClowns]

... for my dd's 3rd birthday party just so I can look out for a reaction among my friends and spot secret mumsnetters?

Yeaa... Do it

Doooo it! I luffs though I have yet to find prawn cocktail flavour!

YANBU. Ideally you need to also serve Fruit Shoots. The Gregg's sausage rolls are optional.

I'd add some s as well.

Ooh what's the MN stance on Pom-bears? I've missed this.. I only know about fruit shoot

What's wrong with Pombears?! Food of kings.

Only if they're cheese and onion ones....

They're Godliness in crisp form.

dsm you need to look in classics, there is a whole thread somewhere in there

littlemisssunny They are on offer in Waitrose at the moment, even the prawn cocktail ones. I managed to hide two packs of 6 at the bottom of the trolley and dd and I have only eaten two packs so far . Not sure they will last to her birthday...

I hesitated briefly in front of the shelf with froot shoots but realised I won't be able to cope with a crazed bunch of 3 year olds running riot

they are handy for children who cant have wheat as they are gluten free so you are actually doing a good deed by buying them! - I think they are delicious btw.

Thanks society but we're not posh enough for a waitrose round here :( and we used to get deliveries off ocado but found them expensive on stuff even though they price match!

littlemisssunny Know what you mean... I treated myself to an hour in Waitrose today (about once every six months) to cheer myself up...

Sorry being totally thick here, what are Pombears?

Baked snacks shaped like bears and found in the crisp aisle.

The only snack that has its own MN secret icon

Thanks ilovepowerhoop, just getting in the car now to go get some.

I did exactly this! It was 2 years ago, and I don't think it was very long after the particular thread, so was expecting many a raised eyebrow and smirk and one leg trouser rolled up etc .....

Not a single bite! Not even a funny handshake or anything! Don't think anyone wanted to admit IRL in case they might blow their MN cover in future?!

Gene I'm pretty sure that's what will happen with us. But it gave me an excuse to buy pombears

They are gluten/wheat free and you can buy them anywhere, don't knock the Pombears!

Yeah, screw you Pom-near haters! I am coeliac and I 'share' them with DS

*disclaimer - I eat them
