Used to love Sugar Puffs

Especially when they had the plastic model of

a) A jet plane
b)A little horse on legs who would waddle across the table in pursuit of a carrot on a thread
c)A scale model of a craft from Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons

OK I am a bit old.

Sugar is very bad for you.

But it's fine in moderation

Honey Smacks were divine. Couldn't get enough of them as a kid. I was looking for them myself a couple of years ago. Found something resembling them in Tesco, but wasnt quite the same.

Sugar puffs are deadly, but I can never finish a box before they go soft.

The bit where you come down, and find the whole block stuck together cos you didn't close it right the last time, and you have to hit it to get bowl sized lumps? That's heaven right there.

Once in a while, I'd buy a box of sugar puffs and just eat them out of the box. By the handful. F**king delicious!

Never saw them under those other names. Didn't realise they might have vanished either.

Ive seen them in Dealz and a local supermarket, Dunnes have a non branded cheap version too. Honey Puffs i believe they go by nowadays.

Remember the wee yokes you got in the packet that would spluter around the sink with a bit of baking soda?

Del.Monte, it's lovely that you still have that, and yet a bit troubling.

Yeah I seen you. In the 99 cent store.

they go by honey puffs now, due to complaints about sugar content i think...had some recently and they taste much blander as a lot of the sugar was taken out. a bit cardboard-y.

I put up a thread recently about my fav: frosted wheets. Nobody really gave a crap. I feel your pain.

Then I suddenly found them the other day in the supermarket!!

Not quite. Your wee smells like Sugar Puffs when you're dehydrated.
Most people are familiar with the smell of Sugar Puffs and so make the comparison.

Google" Pee Sugar Puffs".

They were nice. Could be almost served as a desset.
