To ask what you call the blue dotty ones. . .

[ArabellaWhat]

. . . in liquorice allsorts?

I thought they were comfits??

Hydrangeas

Think comfits are like liquorice tornados only a bit bigger.

We always called them horse cakes when you could get them seperately

My Dad calls them Liquorice Nightmares. Which they are!

They are of course called Fuzzy buzzies.

Delicious.

Of course when you needed the loo the line didn't stop so the girl next to you would have to put her particular sweets in the bag plus your sweets in at the same time. You tried to do it but couldn't always keep up.

Or if I was talking too much and would throw a few extra in, the bags would burst in the sealing machine. Our supervisor would storm upstairs to find the offending person!

There were different mixes some would have more buttons in, for export etc. Or different colours as some countries didn't use various food colours.

No idea. They were all discarded in favour of cream rocks

Hydrangeas

^ I like that.

They're just called My Favourite Ones in this house. God I love Liquorice Allsorts. it's been too long.

Ther will be a run on them in the shops tomorrow!

Pair of shoes with liquorice allsorts on anyone?

I know them as worm cakes too, from my grandpa

The blue ones. 🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵

The blue aniseed ones (but my favourites are actually the pink coco nutty ones).

In our house they are called "That one is mine because you had the last one...you've licked it now! I'm having it anyway!"

DS and I both love them. They are my favourite and his. DS will call them Bobble Jellies if you ask him.

I knew they were Spogs though, we used to sell them at work from a big jar, blue and pink ones mixed together.

Our local sweet shop used to sell bags of the pink & blue ones. Sadly the owners retired & sold up. It's a twendy shabby chic twigs in a jar place now

The liquorice bastards

Love it, I hate these ones!

OhOh this thread has solved an eternal mystery for me, and also informed me that you can buy bags of these beauties on the internet. PRAISE BE!!

eeeewwwwwww

hate hate hate them!!!

revolting things -
