I like all the others. Asda has them at 50p per bag at the moment and I can't miss that up as an opportunity when I like the black and orange ones so much.

Shock YES yabvu, send them to me Grin

Creatureofthenight · 01/05/2017 18:35

Save them for a friend who likes the red ones! Or send them my way....

HermioneJeanGranger · 01/05/2017 18:35

YABVU.

Send them to me.

CaulkheadNorth · 01/05/2017 18:35

I do often give them to a friend if I'm seeing her that day. I don't think she would appreciate them as much if I saved them for a week for her.

I wouldn't be fussy if you saved them for a week, if they're not out of date and in a sealed tub or food bag I can't see a problem.

I'd be delighted at getting a big bag of red ones. Definitely keep them for your friend
Throwing them away is criminal

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 01/05/2017 18:40

Wot? Red are the best. It's like throwing out the caviar to eat the fish.

5OBalesofHay · 01/05/2017 18:41

You don't eat green ones do you Shock

CaulkheadNorth · 01/05/2017 18:42

All you weirdos red fans, which is your worst flavour? I might make a spreadsheet of it all and then arrange local drop-offs of unwanted sweets.

worst for me are yellow and orange, my favourites are black, green and red.

Bubblesagain · 01/05/2017 18:45

Yabu in order of best to worst it's red, black, green, yellow and at the bottom orange. Everyone knows that! Grin

Sparklingbrook · 01/05/2017 18:45

I don't eat the orange ones. Bleurgh.

PerpendicularVincent · 01/05/2017 18:45

YABVVU, red and black are the best. If you leave red and eat the green and yellow ones then I shall be very suspicious of you.

CaulkheadNorth · 01/05/2017 18:48

Orange and black are the best. I used to like red ones and hate the green. Then I ate too many, avoided them for years and now I'm eating them again the red taste grim.

We should decide our friendship groups on which friends like which colours. Buy a bag each. Each person takes the colour they like best. Everyone wins. A whole bag of your favourite colour!!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 01/05/2017 18:53

Orange worst.
Black best.
Red second best.

MimsyBorogroves · 01/05/2017 18:54

Red and black are the best. Orange can fuck right off, taking yellow along with it.

HermioneJeanGranger · 01/05/2017 18:54

Black and red are the best, then orange, yellow and green.

I'll eat them all though

CaulkheadNorth · 01/05/2017 18:56

Is this consistent with other sweets? I don't like red fruit pastels either jut love strawberry flavour stuff usually

Questioningeverything · 01/05/2017 18:59

Yabu. Seriously unreasonable. In fact so much so that I call reverse! 😉

CaulkheadNorth · 01/05/2017 19:00

No! It's definitely not a reverse. I just hate the red ones!

YANBU, I used to throw all the reds and the blacks away when I got fruit gums.
Same with opal fruit/starburst until they rationalised the yellow and green and that was throwing half the packet away. . .
I really don't like strawberry or blackcurrent flavour sweeties at all.

MusicToMyEars800 · 01/05/2017 19:04

OP, yes I am the same with fruit pastilles and jelly tots and jelly babies Grin

CaulkheadNorth · 01/05/2017 19:05

Oh don't even get me started on jelly babies.

MusicToMyEars800 · 01/05/2017 19:05

oh and of course starburst, nearly forgot about those and skittles.
