Sherbert lemons, foam bananas, flying saucers, fruit pastilles, haribo starmix/tangfastic, fizzy strawberry laces.

Fuck I need to sort my life out

Haven't seen them in years.

Fizzy chips. Loved them. Also strawberry liquorice.

I hate Percy pigs though.

Anything made with jelly or sherbet

Moam stripes... So zingy!

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!!

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.

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 · 27-02-2015 09:12AM

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

Most places that do pick and mix (cinemas, Tesco, etc.) do them!

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

Did anyone ever have Northumberland fudge? I had it once as a kid and it was glorious. Ugly lumps of deliciousness covered in chocolate. Mmmm. Haven't seen it since the 90s

Liquorice allsorts, liquorice pipes, liquorice toffee, etc.

I love liquorice

There's a liquorice shop near where I live. I love it! Sometimes they do a buy one get one half price. Or a buy one get one for a cent. It's pretty good. Not a huge selection, but ok considering.

They seem to sell other things like nuts and vitamins and protein and stuff. I don't know. Primarily liquorice though.

Either tell me where it is or become my supplier!

everlast75 · 27-02-2015 11:29AM

one of the biggest cruelties of life is that;

when you were young, you wanted all the sweets but couldn't afford them.

now you can afford them, you know you shouldn't and therefore don't eat them

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

You're not. I LOVE parma violets.

And Tangfastics.

Fizzy Chewits, but they stopped making them. Another example how just everything is going to sh!t.

My first boyfriend broke up with me, coz I used to whack them off his head to break the squares up. I kept them in the freezer (I HATE warm, soft, room temperature chocolate) so God love him, I was hitting rock hard bars of chocolate off his poor aul noggin.

When he complained to his mother about me, her response was " Sure what else is your hard head useful for? " G'wan mammy !

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

I don't know where you are in Germany but I know Müller, the main one on Sonnenstraße in Munich is Haribo Heaven as you walk in!!!!
