I know I’m really mean but I just can’t get enough of them!

Anyone else got a soft spot for certain sweets?

I always buy Parma Violets as I know DH hates them so they'll never be eaten before I get home!

hazeydays14 · 31/10/2018 18:04

I’ve just taken all the Parma violets out too Grin

SistersOfPercy · 31/10/2018 18:05

I confess I've had several packs of love hearts not sorry

ThatPurpleCat · 31/10/2018 18:06

yep eat them! I'm the only one in the house that likes them Smile

DanielRicciardosSmile · 31/10/2018 18:06

I love them, but don't know anyone else apart from DM who likes them. So based on that the kids wouldn't want them anyway so all you're doing is saving them from disappointment. Far from BU you're actually doing them a favour.

I’m halfway through the free bucket from Iceland

YABU - Parma violets taste like old ladies knicker drawers. Yuck!!

pasturesgreen · 31/10/2018 18:11

I expect all most trick or treaters don't like Parma violets anyway, OP 🎃

bellinisurge · 31/10/2018 18:13

Adore them! May well snaffle some right now!!

Sparklingbrook · 31/10/2018 18:16

Bleurgh they are like eating 70s talc. Save me a Drumstick.

FlippinNora1 · 31/10/2018 18:17

I’ve been doing the same with the bounty and snickers. I’m doing them a favour Grin

yawning801 · 31/10/2018 18:18

Saisong How do you know what an old lady's knocker drawer tastes like...?

yawning801 · 31/10/2018 18:18

Blush Knicker... I meant knicker...

CovenofMiLsfromHades · 31/10/2018 18:19

I confess I have had a few orange cremes. I don't think the dc like them anyway.

ghostyslovesheets · 31/10/2018 18:21

I did!

Faerie87 · 31/10/2018 18:21

Haha, I’m eating some right now!

I hid the packets of haribo bears and cola bottles

Mosaic123 · 31/10/2018 18:24

They taste like air freshner for a toilet. Each to their own I suppose.

I think the children would probably all be greatful that you have

jaxhwc · 31/10/2018 18:33

Bleurrrrghhh Parma violets!? I'm munching on the refreshers bars.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 31/10/2018 18:40

On a related topic - would it be wrong of me to switch all the lights off and stop answering the door, whilst there are still some sweets left?

Heatherjayne1972 · 31/10/2018 18:42

Soap sweets op. Nah they’re nasty give them to the kids. Eat the nice ones

MrsJayy · 31/10/2018 18:42
