I want a pic n mix.

[EarlofShrewsbury]

I want a pic n mix but it's Sunday, all the shops that sell it round here are closed.

The only place is the cinema down the road but then I'll be paying approx £300 for 5 sweets.

I'm an attempt to avoid a drip feed, it's my birthday tomorrow.

Aibu to even consider it?

*the chances of ending up with a Tango Ice Blast as well as pic n mix is high.

No good for now but have a browse on here. Order yourself some old faves as a secret stash! Birthday treat.

I haven't got a pick and mix since someone at work told me they got one and got a chewed up piece of chewing gum 🤢

Oh god get yourself down there immediately, a pre birthday weekend treat. I was quite surprised last time I took ds to the cinema, we got quite a good sized bag and it was less than £15. I mean objectively yes it’s very poor value in terms of what they would cost for the equivalent weight from even the supermarket but to have the choice of so much is worth the cost. I’m also a sucker for salty cinema popcorn so I’d make the trip worthwhile by getting a box of that too.
happy early birthday op!

What cinema is it? My usual odeon does pic'n'mix by the cup rather than by weight so it's a set price no matter what you choose. It's great for me as I love all the heavy ones. £3 a cup.

Depending on the cup size, that sounds like a bargain! One cup of fudge for me, and one cup of pink shrimps and assorted other stuff. Living the dream.

I used to get Pick n Mix occasionally but then I was in Poundland and was walking behind a man who had his hands down his trousers scratching his arse. He then put his arse infected hand into the Pick n Mix and stole a handful of midget gems. I've never had Pick n Mix since 🤢

No, you don't - disappointment in a bag.

Buy a whole bag of your favourite sweets as a birthday present to yourself.

Happy birthday for tomorrow 🎂

Imagine having a huge bowl of your favourites-
Jazzies, Fruit salad, BlackJacks. Flying saucers. Gummy Teeth, Flumps, Liquorice Wheels, Chocolate Mice , Jelly Worms, Candy Necklace ....the list goes on,
Now imagine you've eaten the lot and feel sick.

I bought some Lakrids Chocolate Licorice for my birthday , it took about ten days to arrive . I could've swam over there quicker .

It was bloody lush though.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow

Ohhhhh I bloody loved chewing nuts. (Not a euphemism before any filthy-minded MNers who are unaware of their chocolately toffee deliciousness.)

Do it! Happy birthday for tomorrow

I’d punch a crocodile for a tango ice blast right now.

Totally! Less shared germs too 😆

Although I do love jazzies!

What is a tango ice blast?

Not to boast but my birthday's the day after yours and I just had £8.50 of pick n mix while watching The Odyssey.

Brought probably a fiver of it home.

Go onto sweetzy online, they do fantastic pick n mix, you get good offers too. 😋

So, 3 hrs later I was still thinking about it, so I went before they decided to close too.

I pic n mix and a regular ice blast £12.92.

Not as bad as I thought it would be.

I'm pretty sure the ice blast was over a fiver though. 😮

It’s a really decent slush, quite pricey but worth it. I’ve not had one for years but they’re great!

Like several others I miss Woolworths 😭

It's a carbonated slushie.

Vey airy with a slight fizz.

Some Spar shops sell them.
