I think mine are Jelly Babies.
I had some liquorice Allsorts the other day for old time sake.
But I couldn't find one of those blue jelly ones, do they still do them?
Oh & I used to love Cola Cubes & Cola Bottles.
Your Favourite Sweets.
Parma Violets.
Refreshers.
Steve Sunshine is the sweetest of them all.
That and Werthers originals
Bazooka Joe's bubble gum but I haven't had any in years.
Cinder toffee, fizzy fangs (which sound rude but aren't), sugared almonds, chocolate brazil nuts, sherbet pips, flying saucers...I love all the old sweet shops where you can choose from big jars.

Yes a Quarter of sweets were great, & I did love those Saucers.
The sherbert has reminded me of the sherbert fountain, what a wonderful piece of sweet engineering

I've recently had liquorice Allsorts sans blue jelly too! Then a second bag had one measly single bloody blue jelly thing. Both bags were half-price, so I'm wondering if they knew they'd run out of blue jelly things in that batch rather than them having been discontinued?
*crosses fingers and hopes this isn't a repeat of the blue Smartie debarcle*
Hmm Interesting Die Hard.
Maybe they are the most expensive allsort to make & have become yet another victim of the recession

Try the Mr Simm's franchise or Hope and Greenwood!

I'm not sure I'd enjoy sherbert anymore, not now I'm in my extremely late twenties.
But back in the day It was the sweet that kept on giving
Anything Japanese with loads of pointless attention to details.
Shops that sell tobacco and big jars of old fashioned sweets. Not those faux modern ones.
OH YES! Sweet tobacco, made of coconut! YUM. And toasted teacakes. And coconut mushrooms. I love all sweets basically...

Many thanks SF, that is literally all my Christmas shopping sorted in one site! Hurray! ...course they might not all last unopened until December.
Tic Tacs. If there's anything cooler than shaking one out in your palm, I'd like to know.
