Human after all

Obsessed with Veggie Colins from M&S, particularly the sour ones. Not keen on Colin's girlfriend, Connie. She's a funny texture.

Looks more like he’s pissing in the pic ‘n’ mix!

Bassets Liquorice Allsorts. I cannot comprehend why some service stations on the M4 seem to stock all sorts of sweets most of which I have never heard of, including some from Bassets, but they don't stock Liquorice Allsorts. Why oh why?

Because nobody else likes them

But yeah....any fruity sweets. I can eat tons of them. The sharper and more citrus the better and I love anything sour. I have to be really careful not to buy sweets as I will smash them all in one sitting.

Haven't seen pineapple chunks for years.

And Joosters. A sharp, mainly citrus flavoured jelly bean that was my absolute favourite only had a short life on the shelves. The grapefruit ones......OMG!

You’d love these then:

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Corrrrrr!! Do they make you wince?

Yes.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Yes.

I must visit Scotland to buy some

You could go mad: soda scone, lorne sausage and fruit pudding for breakfast!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Fruit pudding is something I really have got my eye on. Looks bloody amazing that does.

This is tough, I love sweets so much. I bought some fruitella the other day for the first time in ages, had forgotten how great they are. In no particular order:

Strawberry laces / pencils
Liquorice Allsorts
Parma violets
Dolly mixtures (not the brown ones)
Haribo
Jelly beans
Sherbet fountain
Chocolate eclairs
Swizzles lollies
Refreshers
Irn bru bars (don’t think they make them anymore but man they were good)
Jalebi
Gonna have to visit the sweet shop and top up my sweetie drawer I think now

 

[Mrs Miggins]

American hard gums
Wine gums
Gummy bears
Fruit gums (getting stuck in your teeth)
Ooh fruit pastilles

 

[purenarcotic]

Oh yeah, and foam bananas, dip dabs and flumps. Aren’t flumps just magical? The silly name, super soft texture, slightly vanilla flavour?

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I see your foam bananas and I raise you shrimps.

And those teeth things.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

Fox's glacier fruits. So lush.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Oh god you've just reminded me...what are those sweets that are fruity and a boiled sweet but with a soft centre? They are oblong shaped and come individually wrapped in white paper with the fruit drawn on the wrapper.

These?

Vienna boiled sweets.

 

[Calamity1971]

I crave spangles and those butterscotch sweets in golden wrappers from woolworths. Neither exist anymore

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Yes!

I'm so glad the shops are closed or I would now be eating my bodyweight in various forms of sugar.

Spangles were the dogs.
D'you remember the Old Fashioned flavour ones? I can't actually remember what they tasted like but I remember I liked them

They relaunched them a while back and the toffee coloured one wasn't in them I think. Ha, I can't remember the taste either but they seemed unique at the time.

Seems they were actually Old English flavours!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

 

[Calamity1971]

I don't remember the pear drop one?
We need a bring back spangles petition but the sugar police will fuck em up anyway.

Christ! I'd forgotten all about them

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I don't actually remember the flavours at all now I look at them

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Christ! I'd forgotten all about them

I haven't.
I probably think about them once every 2-3 days

 

[Calamity1971]

Anybody remember getting bits stuck in their eyebrows

Oh I want a jawbreaker now as well. They could take all day.
