[Emma]

You know the Haribo Supermix? It has to be the little people out of those.

[FreakaZoid101]

The eggs. You can never get enough.

I have met my demise to the Cola bottles may a time.

They still rock, but eggs. Legendary.

[Jono]

Hence the choice for the eggs.

But how do you eat yours? Oops, wrong egg.

Do you prefer the yolk or the white bit? Or is it a general thumbs up for all of it?

[FreakaZoid101]

Ooh... I like nibbling slowly to the yolk. But it's all amazin.

Subways! Haven't heard them in ages.

[Monitorabbit]

Oh my daughter used to eat jelly when she was a vegetarian on the excuse the animal might have lost it's leg by accident but still be alive (she was only 7)

[Jono]

Let's open it up a bit more. What's your favourite type of sweet/candy then? Or what was your favourite?

I remember loving those cigarette style sticks.

[Grace]

I love "wham!" bars, they last me forever because I have to be careful not to get them stuck in my braces, and it proves a challenge. And they taste lush.

[FreakaZoid101]

I remember loving those cigarette style sticks.

Oh yes! Loved them.

Those candy necklaces and bracelets.

[popbitcher]

i loved the sherbit dibs things. the ones with the strawberry lollies!

[Timsk]

Let's open it up a bit more. What's your favourite type of sweet/candy then? Or what was your favourite?

My least favourite were 'walnut whip' - just yuck. And 'curly wurly'. Might be showing my age with this though...

Never been so much of a traditional sweet fan. More of a mars bar person (though they've shrunk loads)

[littlechris]

Turkish Delight = no thank you

[Jono]

Turkish Delight = no thank you

Is that really even a sweet? That classes as chocolate in my supermarket.

Love hearts were good. Didn't like the purple version though.

[Timsk]

Can you still get Refreshers?

[KingTutsWWH]

My least favourite were 'walnut whip' - just yuck. And 'curly wurly'. Might be showing my age with this though...

Bleugh, filthy things. I eat the odd winegum nowadays, but I used to love the double sherbet dipdabs and licorice allsorts too. Can't abide chewing gum.

[Jono]

Can you still get Refreshers?

Not sure. We might sell them in my supermarket. But kids tend to go for ones that come with casing that make fart noises these days.

The teeth that you'd get in pick and mix were great.

[YoppaDo]

I love "wham!" bars, they last me forever because I have to be careful not to get them stuck in my braces, and it proves a challenge. And they taste lush.

Oh, Wham bars!!

They are barely sold anywhere anymore, sad. They used to cost 10p, very yummy.

[popbitcher]

what were those white chocolate things called with the sprinkles on them?

[Jono]

what were those white chocolate things called with the sprinkles on them?

They were snowies here or dazzle drops.

[Riz]

what were those white chocolate things called with the sprinkles on them?

Jazzies!

[Timsk]

What was that stuff you'd get in a little sachet that fizzed when you poured it on your tongue? Think it was orange flavoured too...

[Jono]

Jazzies!

Were they the same thing? So many names! The milk chocolate were better.

Those lollies which were round and one colour on top and a different on the bottom were the best. No idea what they were, they weren't normal lollies, but they were like 10p a lolly.

[FreakaZoid101]

Nerds! Almost forgot about that.

[Jono]

What was that stuff you'd get in a little sachet that fizzed when you poured it on your tongue? Think it was orange flavoured too...

Oh I remember something like that. Were these the ones with the crunchy lolly that had two flavours - like orange and raspberry and you licked the lolly and dabbed it in?

[FreakaZoid101]

dibdabs?

[KingTutsWWH]

Oh, Wham bars!!

I think Wham Bars and Fruits salads (are these still sold?) are responsible for at least 2 of my 4 fillings. Anyone think I have a case against Trebor (or whoever makes them nowadays)?
