FFS, they are Lilliputian.

1.5 inches wide. I ask you.

Then surely a whole pack is one portion if they are weenie?

SantanaLopez · 10/10/2015 15:21

I only like the pink ones though.

I'll swap you pink for the chocolate ones

Fluffy24 · 10/10/2015 15:24

Oh I thought they were supposed to be miniature ones so you can eat them all several at one sitting! Grin

MarvinKMooney · 10/10/2015 15:25

YANBU. I ate 3 in one sitting yesterday. My Fat Pal account nearly exploded. Blush

lighteningirl · 10/10/2015 15:25

The pink ones are mine all mine

SantanaLopez · 10/10/2015 15:26

It's a deal Gwyneth!

I am sure they used to be bigger- comfortably 4 bites. I could swallow these whole.

How many Mr Kiplings do they equate to? I will take the chocolate ones off your plate but not the yellow.

SantanaLopez · 10/10/2015 15:31

I would say they are a half (possibly a third) of the size of a Mr Kipling.

Shocking.

Weren't they called French Fancies once upon a time? When and why did it stop?

Do the different colours taste different?

Fluffy24 · 10/10/2015 15:37

Oh yes, lemony yellow ones, chocolatey er chocolate cookies ones and sweet vanilla pink ones.

oohhhhh fondant fancies

howabout · 10/10/2015 15:37

YANBU

Yes the different colours taste different. Next you'll be saying you just take a random handful of skittles Shock

SantanaLopez · 10/10/2015 15:40

I think Mr Kipling calls them French fancies.

Are they nicer than Mr Kiplings though? I find Mr Kiplings horribly over sweet.

Sparklingbrook · 10/10/2015 15:45

Green sponge, black icing yet orange flavour. Interesting.
