If we're going with sweeties as distinct from chocolate I'd go with those drumstick squashies.Do you have a favourite sweet?Mine's Wine Gums.I love a Wine Gum me.
They were called Jap Desserts. I particularly liked the chocolate ones.I'm a big bairn when it comes to old fashioned sweets, love 'em all.
Strawberry bon bons, butternuts, kola cubes, cherry lips, Edinburgh rock, traffic light lollys, sugar mice, liquorice comfits, soor plooms, cannonballs... Mmmmm
Here is a question though: When I was a kid (1980s), I used to love these sweets that were multicoloured cubes that had a sweet coconut filling. I never see them anymore, even in old fashioned sweet shops, I remember them being called something like Japanese Whispers but that's an album by The Cure so Googling hasn't really helped...
That's them.They were called Jap Desserts. I particularly liked the chocolate ones.
I have not seen them for years.
My all-time favourite is Love Hearts. I can get through a whole pack in no time.
