    I bought 1300 assorted penny sweets once for a school guess-the-sweets-in-the-jar thing. There were 3 people filling bags for 10 minutes.

    Favourite would have to be fizzy cola bottles.
    On a related note, Apple Drops own my trouser. I bought a pound of them once (2 quid's worth back in them days) and the fu<king bag split :mad:

    I love apple drops. The only problem I found with them was that if you got them in a paper bag they eventually just stuck to the bag. I ended up eating them with bits of paper bag stuck to them.

    Oh and pear drops own aswell!

    Cola Bottles for me as well - sugary ones !!

    Does anybody remember Blops or Blobs - they were 1p chewing gum pieces ?

    Fruit Salads were quite good too ...

    I remember also shops used to start putting bags together of 1p sweets costing 10p and 20p - lucky dip type stuff.

    No Contest - Milk Bottles!

    I don't think they used to sell them in Ireland, and I still don't think corner shops do them. But you can big packs in tescos.

    I endorse this product :)
