Favourite sweeties?

fussyonion

What's your favourite type of sweet?

I don't mean chocolate now ya hear; I'm talking sweeties...be it LoveHearts or jellybeans, flying saucers or Skittles.
I have a soft spot for Haribo StarMix, any cola bottles and Starburst.
What 'bout you?

JupiterKid

Lemon flavoured Refreshers with the sherbet inside. Divine!:pac:

I stopped eating sweets when i was 9, sweets are very bad for you.

DrGreenthumb

I'd murder your first born for a bag of postman pat sweets, without remorse too

Duckworth_Luas

Sean Connery, Billy Connolly and Gordon Strachan.

Arsemageddon

Liquorice allsorts, liquorice pipes, liquorice toffee, etc.

I love liquorice

Ah, CJ. Weren't you not Terry Keane's very own 'Sweetie'?

I must be the only person on the planet, but I love parma violets. Everyone tells me they taste like perfume. If it was a perfume, id drink it.

I also love those sugary bananas and jelly burgers you used to get on holidays. They have them in lidl now

siblers

WWF chewing gum that came with a sticker wrapped around the gum. The flavour lasted for about 5 seconds..but it was a glorious 5 seconds..

Those purple things.

We had a family occasion in my mothers house recently and had a few bowls of sweets out for the kids. I, a 26 year old man child took all the purple things out of the bowls and hid them for myself and I'm not one bit ashamed :cool:

Theres a man that drives a distinctive white van who goes around giving out free sweets on the condition you get in the van. Worth it though

Onion pies! Rollie eyes.

Cola bottles, love them.

Pretzill

Midget Gems. Hard to get these days but have chewiness, fruitiness with a tangy flavour too.

Jelly tots come a sugary second!

hfallada

Piggies from M&S are amazing. Although super expensive these days. I also love Lemon Sherbets and Bon Bons.

I dont know why dont really have much sweets here compared to the US and Germany. If you walk into a German version of Boots. There will like 50 versions of Haribos and dozens of other sweets. All we get is a not so nice version of Caburys

madmaggie

Fruit pastilles. I can't eat one or two, must eat the whole pack. I allow myself this indulgence a few times a year.

Old fave of mine.

These days my kids buy them & there's now a version called 'half & half'.

I love it too, but it can give you the Squits!

DEFTLEFTHAND

Penny sweets that you can still find on the counter in some rural newsagents. Cola bottles, jellybeans and the like.

idunno78

Pigs heads, milk teeth, sour dummy's/cola bottles.

PandaPoo

Did anyone like white/pink mice? I wasn't a fan, would eat the white ones the odd time.

Haven't seen them in years.

catallus

Apple drops, yum.

dee_mc

Black jelly beans are the business, green ones come a close second.
Not a big fan of the 'gourmet' jelly beans but I found a little sweet shop near Carnegie Hall a few years ago, run by this little old Eastern European lady, and they had the most amazing margarita jelly beans, and coffee flavoured ones, unreal!

bodhrandude

What do you mean no chocolate, I could eat a whole bunch of Catch bars just now. :D:D

ProudDUB

Regal Crown's sour cherry sweets. They did a whole range...apple, lemon, orange etc etc but the sour cherry one was the bombdiggidy. Never see 'em in the shops anymore. Did Regal Crown go out of business, anyone know?

Fuck I need to sort my life out

Loved the white mice . I seen them in the pic n mix lately in xtravision

LizT

Fizzy chips. Loved them. Also strawberry liquorice.

I hate Percy pigs though.

smash

Anything made with jelly or sherbet

Conor Bourke

Moam stripes... So zingy!

ElleEm

Purple versions of everything- purple Skittles, purple fruit pastilles, purple jelly beans, purple jelly babies. Purple!!!

Ihatecuddles loves them too.

I realise that incredibly stalkerish of me, but for some reason I remember that little detail! I think it was because when she said it, I though she was the only who liked them!

I had a couple of fruit polos yesterday. A very underrated sweet.

Otherwise skittles, crispy M&Ms, haribo rings or goldibears.

I rarely eat sweets. It would be a weird thing for me to get a craving for but I'd eat some of someone else's!!

Rawr

Pre-Nestle Yorkie Bar.

Ahh, the good old Rowentrees variety that was more akin to a cocoa house-brick than anything else. The many teeth-shattering table-smashing hours required to break off a segment was truely worth the delightful milky-cocoa taste you'd get while it melted in your mouth.

Wouldn't touch it these days however. It's a pathetic chunk of pre-melted Nestle sadness now.

But Cola Bottles....aahhhh....I would eat those until my blood sugar was mostly Cola Bottles.

clever user name

Dolly mixtures...nom nom nom

Skittles all the way! Myself and my friend used to buy a large bag of skittles, choc m&ms and smarties and empty them all into the one bowl. A surprise every time

beertons

Have to give another vote for skittles. Jeez, I'd eat them all day long.

It's soo good. Was made better by the location of consumption. We were receptionists at a gym. All of the people coming in trying to lose weight & get fit were met by two young ones stuffing their gobs with sweets. Ice cream if it was summer Good times

Can you still get the old-style false teeth anywhere? They used to be less squidgy.
