Best sweets to force unconditional surrender?

Knowing old people as I do, back in the 40's I reckon the citizens of blighty were so deprived and innocent that if German troops had parachuted into the countryside and started offering around sweets, we would have put down our pitchfalks and started talking football.

Spitfire pilots would have jumped out, doffed their caps and said: 'I say, thats throroughly bloody decent of you, I'll have a purple one'

Which sweets would said Nazi troops be more likely to force an immediate unconditional surrender with?

Re: Best sweets to force unconditional surrender?

I voted werthers. I don't much like Roses. Quality Street is a very close second, but the risk is always there that you get one of thoese grim green noisette triangles.

Re: Best sweets to force unconditional surrender?

I reckon miniature heros as the population would be screaming out for some 'proper' sweets and miniature heros would have given them their favourite brands, but kept morale low enough because of the stingy portions. Not my favourite on the list, but reckon they would have done the job

Re: Best sweets to force unconditional surrender?

Which one has the miniature Bounty bars in? I'm not a big sweet eater but I do like a Bounty every so often.

If Jerry got to me last, and all the Bountys had gone, he'd be for it, you know.

Re: Best sweets to force unconditional surrender?

Bounties are ace. My mum always bought the dark chocolate one in the red wrapper. I didn't like them at the time. i bet i would now. The bounty is the poor cousin to the work of art that is the raspberry ruffle.
