Sweets

[Paulie Dangerously]

My kingdom for a mint highland toffee bat

Does chocolate count as sweets?

[General Dryness]

Does chocolate count as sweets?

 

No, chocolate is part of the meat group.

 

My word.

[Champ]

My word.

Just asking. I was brought up to believe chocolate was good; sweets were bad (a bit common, maybe)

[Stickman]

 

These were pretty sickly in the seventies and not to everyones taste...

A classic from the 70's Gold Nuggets chewing gum....howdy partner

When I was a kid growing up in York our next door neighbour worked in the Rowntrees factory up the road from us.  Once a week he would bring a bag of bars to me and my brother that wouldnt pass quality control for being out of shape.  I loved him as much as Santa

I was at uni in York and when the wind was in the wrong direction a sickly pall from Rowntrees would hang over the place for hours. Stomach turning it was

Ha ha. I loved it. Still do! Going over in June so will fill my lungs with it

You're welcome to it.

Like I cant stand the smell of the breweries around Murrayfield that drift over towards us from time to time.

 

On a lighter note, Wonka's Millionaires Shortbread bars. Maybe not manly enough for you lot but I like em

Did you have them all in one go, or slowly suck them one by one?

[Trumo]

Also, were you forced to listen to their album 'Just Desserts'?

[Tj hooker]

Pear Drops are fucking awesome

[Lee909]

Asda does a peardrop and a lemon sherbet cordial.

They are obviously sweet but I like them and sparkling water over a can of fizzy drink.

[Lee909]

Irun-bru bars, highland toffee, sweet peanuts. White chocolate fish n chips, mice, bear bottles.

 

Very close to the top of my list was the massive hard red dummies you used to get at the beach or carnivals.

[Guest davelfc]

A couple of years ago my son bought be a large box of Lions Sports Mixtures, used to love them as a kid. Most probably know the Maynards versions, those are for wimps.

 

 

Anyway, within a day I'd lost three fillings and it cost me close to 50 quid to get them replaced. 

[Lee909]

Oh yeah, bring back pyramints you twats and the assorted flavour toffos

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Lemon fizz bombs were my achiles heel as a child. You knew you'd had too many when the rough coating had taken the skin off the roof of your mouth.

 

It'd be nice if people gave sweets as presents rather than posh chocolates. I'm always stuck with a box of Thornton's and racking my head who to re-gift them to.

[Total Longo]

I've just scoffed a whole "tear and share" bag of Crazy Sours Skittles.

 

I'm absolutely flying now.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Anyone else used to get one of those Lucky bags of your nan/gran, used to have fruit salad and blackjacks in them mixed bag of sweets they were brilliant.

Sherbert Dib Dabs, flying saucers, Jawbreakers........ Memories.

 

 

Dick Turtle ???

The banana ones were fucking lovely.

[BCM]

Dick Turtle ???

 

 

 

No i think it was different to that.  What a name though...... "Im just off to the shop to get a bag of Dick Turtles"

[Champ]

The banana ones were fucking lovely.

 

They fucking werent. I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to toffee

[Carvalho Diablo]

Just had a Yorkie for my tea. Get in.

Older generation, you see. You probably remember when you couldn't get any real bananas because of them germans causing all that trouble over in the France. Mind you, Betty Thrupplegates Bill works for the MD, and he got her some lovely new net curtains. Knees up mother brown, we're all going up the west end!
