How they have been around for 25 years I can't imagine. Who on earth is buying them? And why?!

What??!! Percy pigs are my favourite... and the rest of the farmyard crew.

FfionFlorist · 04/07/2017 10:51

I couldn't agree more, they are grim.

TricksyLiesmith · 04/07/2017 10:52

Totally agree !
I've never understood the love of Percy pigs.
Weird flavour

SACRILEGE !!!!

CommunistLegoOoOoBloc · 04/07/2017 10:54

I agree, but weirdly if someone offers me one I'll eat it and immediately want another. Even though they taste like soap and I acknowledge that at the time Confused

Bobbybobbins · 04/07/2017 11:01

YABU - the brown cow is my personal favourite Grin

Decaffstilltastesweird · 04/07/2017 11:03

I quite like the veggie ones. Can't remember what the non veggie ones taste like.

Veggie Colin the caterpillars on the other hand, are damn delicious and I won't hear a word against them Angry.

AmethystRaven · 04/07/2017 11:03

You need Reversy Percys. The foam face and jelly ears are switched round so you get less soapy foam and they're lovely!

TheSlowLoris · 04/07/2017 11:04

I don't like them either, they're too chewy.

StayAChild · 04/07/2017 11:05

Yes you are B v v v U. I love Percy pigs, sour tails and farmyard friends. I get them for me my GD. Luckily, she's not too fussed about them Grin

OldHabitsDieHard · 04/07/2017 11:05

I agree OP.

I also think the film Elf is shite.

There. I said it.

TheSlowLoris · 04/07/2017 11:14

Me too!

ShowMeWhatYouGot · 04/07/2017 11:15

Get off your internet now! Your clearly not thinking right!!

TheSlowLoris · 04/07/2017 11:17

Percy pigs are shite, the Elf film is shite and so is the fuss over the Coca Cola lorry.

So there.

haveacupoftea · 04/07/2017 11:19

Surely it's not time to start bringing Christmas into it?

But if it is, Christmas Eve boxes are also a load of shite Grin

TheSlowLoris · 04/07/2017 11:21

Surely it's not time to start bringing Christmas into it?

Yes, yes it is. It's half way through the year right? 😄

Syc4moreTrees · 04/07/2017 11:22

I like the veggie percy's, but they do taste like the smell of playdough

BlurryFace · 04/07/2017 11:39

I don't like them, but I'm not keen on gummy sweets in general, much prefer hard sweets or choccy.

babybubblescomingsoon · 04/07/2017 11:44

I'm probably the one keeping Percy pigs in production. Sorry about that Blush

Morecoffeeurgently · 04/07/2017 11:46

Yanbu. They are an abomination. I do not get the love for them. I like most confectionery and am not fussy but PPs are vile.

toastandbutterandjam · 04/07/2017 11:50

They always give me horrendous toothache. One bite and ALL my teeth hurt!Sad Shock

Is it only me?!Hmm

toooldforthisshirt37 · 04/07/2017 13:38

I agree - also -

Haribos.....fodder of the devil!

I just don't get it, they taste of nothing!

SaS2014 · 04/07/2017 13:41

YABVU Shock
they are awesome!!!

MollyHuaCha · 04/07/2017 19:28

Toooldforthis I'm with you on the Haribos - lots of different shapes, but they all taste the same. Apart from the ones with the foam, which, er... makes them like Percy Pigs.^^

Aaaaaasaaagh! Shock
