I voted Haribo but really I like gummies of all kinds rather than just one brand thereof

Special mention to Black Jacks and Fruit Salads

Most cattle feed comes from grazing, hay or sileage or things like corn or soya bean pellets.

Mycoprotiein is designed for human consumption and is remarkably tasty compared to grass.

Chewits have done some nice limited edition flavours in the past, two nice ones have been raspberry ripple and ice cream flavours.

Galaxy bars don't seem to be on sale in too many places round here

Also Jaffa Cakes. And stuff with white chocolate - I've never understood why people don't like it.

Chewing gum should be banned.
The streets of central Bristol are disgusting thanks to people spitting it out on the floor.

Best chocolate bar is Hersheys, definately!

I'd heard so much about it, and then I ate one. I can only remember supreme disappointment: I've never repeated the experience.

Mars Bars, on the other hand.....

My favourite was Victory V lozenges until they took out the ether and choloroform from the recipe (seriously). Very distinctive taste.

Krypton is an inert, tasteless and odourless gas, more like Aero.

I meant kryptonite, you know, the stuff that Superman is allergic to..;)
Hersheys tastes like off milk. I imagine cat sick to taste similar.

Wish you haven't said that, now I'll havd to think of that every time I buy a bar from the school tuck shop, naughty boy! ;)

I've also heard about it loads, and decided to purchase a bar for myself, just to try. Ever since, when I have the money, I buy one and hide it before one of my friends nicks it. :lol:

They're so delicious, they combine the delight of white chocolate, to the richness to the browner variety. They're ever so popular at our school.

Mars Bars are really nice as well, but I prefer the crunchiness of a Twix instead.

Any fule kno that the best chocolate bar ever made was Texan, followed by Nutty.
Oh, and it's not just me that says so:

Ever since we started the online sweetshop we have received a steady stream of emails from customers enquiring if Texans are still available... and many people have even asked us to start a petition to beg the manufacturers to start production again.
Although I knew Texans would probably be near the top of the list I certainly didn't expect it to receive 5 times as many votes as the second most popular sweet - Nutty Bars.

The latter is still available in B&M IIRC. Also they have fruit salad flavour

Here in Kingswood (Bristol) we've got an old fashioned type sweet shop, you know, lots of sweets in big glass (some plastic) jars. You can get things like Cherry Lips, Floral Gums etc and stuff I haven't seen in years.

Are they all named after parts of the mouth?

I like white chocolate, so Milkybar is naturally a favourite. Cadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate is great, preferably plain; the caramel variant is absolutely disgusting these days. I've always liked Lion bars as well.

Sweets don't appeal as much, but Wine Gums are a big exception. I tend to prefer the supermarket own brand versions (especially Aldi) to Maynards, however.

My first rep's job was working for Terrys when they introduced the chocolate orange, one xmas after spending 6 hours prepping the xmas display ends, I ended up playing football in a ASDA warehouse with the foodhall manager using a chocolate orange that had gone solid !! Anyone remember Chocolate lemons ?? only lasted 18 months.

Being biased, Terrys Wiafa (a Kit Kat alternative) was superb.

For some reason that reminded me of something I haven't had for years - Tunnock's Caramel Wafer. I'm old enough to remember them being in the baker's basket when they delivered door to door (he may even have had a horse drawn cart but I'm not sure about that).
