To think noone actually likes Love Hearts?

Sweet tooth moment and all we had were a packet of love hearts which I begrudgingly had a couple of, and once again pondered about who actually would choose love hearts as first option? They're like sweet and sour chalk...

Does anyone actually enjoy them except in dire emergencies such as the above? Are there any other sweets you can't get your head around?

Yabu - love them how dare you
Yanbu - They're only still going thanks to some genius advertising/product design

Parma violets are much, much worse.

IndigoIsMyFavouriteColour · 22/11/2025 13:20

I like them

wizzywig · 22/11/2025 13:20

Palma violets deserve the firing squad

Beamur · 22/11/2025 13:20

They're literally my favourite ever sweet! I love parma violets too.

JudgeBread · 22/11/2025 13:21

I love them 🙃 first to go from the swizzels tub

I love Love Hearts AND Parma Violets 😀

BatshitCrazyWoman · 22/11/2025 13:24

Me, and my adult DC, all love Love Hearts and Parma Violets 😍

Needmorelego · 22/11/2025 13:24

I like Parma Violets.
It's a unique club of about 20 of us in the universe that like them 😂😂😂

CryMyEyesViolet · 22/11/2025 13:25

Love Parma Violets. Quite like a swizzel lolly. Love hearts can get in the bin.

Parma violet gin is gorgeous too.

VikaOlson · 22/11/2025 13:26

Love Hearts are my favourite!

TimSamandLulu · 22/11/2025 13:26

I like Love Hearts but not Parma Violets, which taste like flowery soap to me.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 22/11/2025 13:26

I do! I like any of those crumbly type sweets

Dahlietta · 22/11/2025 13:27

I do! I love chalky sweets. Can't stand chewy ones.

Fallulah · 22/11/2025 13:28

Oh I love them! My favourite lolly is the one that is like a solid block of Love Hearts too. I also love Refreshers, but agree Palma Violets are the devil’s food. 😈 Someone I used to worked with described them as ‘like eating grandma’!

MaJoady · 22/11/2025 13:28

Me! Much prefer a crumbly sweet to gummy.

Swizzles lollipops are fab too (and refreshers and Parma violets)

SunnieShine · 22/11/2025 13:28

I love them. ❤️

Octavia64 · 22/11/2025 13:28

I do

LilyCanna · 22/11/2025 13:29

I only like sweets if they are a bit sour, that includes Love Hearts, Refreshers (are they even still around?) and those Swizzels lollies made of the same stuff.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 22/11/2025 13:26

Me too , including refreshers

SisterTeatime · 22/11/2025 13:29

I like them, also refreshers and Parma violets. So there

katseyes7 · 22/11/2025 13:30

I love them!
And they're brilliant if you have heartburn.

Awrite · 22/11/2025 13:32

I can't think of any sweets I don't like.
