Just wondering, really. My family send me a particular brand of sweets from overseas at Christmas every year, and I'm always really sad when they run out. If I were a stinking rich bastard, I'd have them in the house all year round and never get tired of them.

If you could win a lifetime supply of any product, what would you want to win?

(I suppose if I were practical, I'd choose petrol or toilet paper, wouldn't I?)

Jack Daniel's. Maybe a different variety every couple of months to ring the changes.

I won a years supply of nappies. Supplied as £350 in vouchers.

Tobacco. On a more health conscious front hmm smelly candles.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 06/01/2014 22:49

Diesel or Creed Virgin Island Water.

Rowlers · 06/01/2014 22:52

Freshly squeezed orange juice.

themaltesefalcon · 06/01/2014 23:41

Armenian cognac.

Or a book a week from Amazon would do nicely, too.

McPheezingMyButtOff · 06/01/2014 23:45

Huggies wipes

I get through thousands of them

Chippednailvarnish · 06/01/2014 23:57

Naan bread (fresh ones straight out of the tandoori oven)
Mr whippy ice cream

DuchessofKirkcaldy · 07/01/2014 00:06

me: posh chocs, flowers, theatre tickets
dh: petrol,cat litter, pet food
Can you guess who is the practical one? Wink

Neal's Yard vegan jelly sweets. veggies.co.uk/2012/05/11/neals-yard-wholefoods-mini-bears/ They are bloody lovely, but at £1.45 for a small bag, if I were to get a proper lifetime's supply I'd probably save more cash than if I plumped for wine - my liver needs a rest from time to time, after all, but I can keep stuffing my face with jelly bears as long as I clean my teeth.

DuchessofKirkcaldy · 07/01/2014 00:08

Oooh and posh coffee too Smile

ChippingInWadesIn · 07/01/2014 00:19

(product - so I am sadly ruling out money etc)

Petrol if we are 'allowed' that. £70 a week in my pocket instead would be very nice!!

If petrol is also 'out' then my perfume (and associated body wash/moisturiser etc) :)

BumpNGrind · 07/01/2014 00:40

What I should say: petrol.
What I really want: flowers, lindt chocolate and clarins beauty flash balm.

newsecretidentity · 07/01/2014 05:25

Didn't think about smelly candles... A lifetime supply of Yankee candles would make my house smell so nice that I could give up petrol and just never leave the house!

When I was a teen my mum won a years supply of Thorntons ice cream. 2 tubs a week. One Of my sisters didn't eat ice cream, leaving three people and limited freezer space so it had to be eaten each week. At first it was great - chocolate and toffee Icecream, yummy. Then mum got bored of the standard flavored and started ordering peach and other fruity flavors. I hated them and was still forced to eat it. By month 9 we all groaned when the delivery came. I have not liked ice cream or craved it ever since...

If I could choose it would be petrol or loo roll or something else I would never get bored of.

supermariossister · 07/01/2014 05:37

dolce gusto pods , as a purely impractical want. they are expensive so I don't get them very often.

practically cooked meat or petis filous as they go like lightning round here

SaltySeaBird · 07/01/2014 05:41

Practically petrol.

But would have to choose lovely fresh flowers. Love having them in the house.

One of the mums at baby group (donkeys years ago, when my eldest was a baby) had accidentally been delivered a dozen massive tubs of Sudocrem, which must have been a lifetime supply. She gave us each a pot and years later none of us have even made a dent in the tub.

Champagne
Waitrose salted nut selection

It has to be something that you'll news and want for the rest of your life. Earlier I was tempted by childrebs clothes but then realised that the appeal and cost benefit of that would wear out in about a decade when children fully grown.

Hair appointments (cut/colour/blow dry/whatever) would appeal because might make me go more often and I like te idea of being perfectly coiffured forever.

Smoorikins · 07/01/2014 07:26

Holidays or cars.

Wineandchoccy · 07/01/2014 07:27

Milk - there's only DH and I but we use loads

Yorkshire tea bags and badedas shower gel for me

DH says morrisons create your own pizza

Cat says dreamies Grin

Pipachi · 07/01/2014 07:29

Pink grapefruits, already cut in filets. Every morning. Thank you.

Riddo · 07/01/2014 07:43

Fresh flowers would be perfect although I should probably say petrol.

Twinklestarstwinklestars · 07/01/2014 07:46

Diesel for practical reasons if not salt and vinegar crisps
