There used to be an old gem of a shop on North Main Street at the corner of Castle Street, it's either a pizza place or its next to the pizza place!

I've walked past there a few times recently and it's always been closed.

I'm not sure about jellies, but the sweet place up in Shandon was always very popular.

Sometimes you can get nice Haribo sweets in the €2 shop on Oliver Plunkett Street if that's any help!

Also, the off licence across from the Bishopstown Bar has some really nice jellies - proper Haribo Cola bottles and the like but nowhere beats the old shops like the one in Cobh (think it might be closed down now)

TK Maxx always have boxes of Jelly Belly jellies by the check-out counters. I presume they're cheaper than normal there, it being TK Maxx.

Go get an apple from the English Market. Fruit is nature's candy.

Man, flicking through the thread which the OP linked got me reminiscing about sweets of old. Sorry if I'm going off the point of the thread but something has been racking my brain. There was one particular bar of chocolate which I can remember from the 80's. I've just spent ages fruitlessly looking throughout the net for info about it and I've been left wondering if it's just a figment of my imagination. It was called 'Blitz' and consisted of thin dark chocolate with either hard green minty bits (like those found in a mint crisp) or hard orange bits. The former had 'Blitz' displayed on the black (i think) wrapper in green neon lighting style writing and the later had the same only in orange neon lighting style. My memory is suggesting that my Dad used to love them but when asking him there he just drew a blank expression. This could be due to my mind playing a trick on me as already mentioned or his increasing senility. I have an image of buying one in an old Cinema on Winthrop street, where the casino is now, I think. This too could yet be just another figment of my imagination.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I fear it might be the asylum for me otherwise.

Edit - Forget about it. Just found out it was called 'Bitz' and not 'Blitz'. My apologies. Back to the discussion of finding a good place to buy jellies.
