I'm eating Sports Mixture

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Mmmmm. They have to be the NICEST sweets in the world.

kinda like 'midget gems', but nicer.

I was wondering if these orgasmic chewey sweets were available anywhere else in the world? If not, it's an outrage; you should write to your respective presidents IMMEDIATELY demanding ACTION BE TAKEN.

Ooh, think I'll have a green one next

Were they very small? If so they may have been Pez. They were brick shaped & it was possible to buy dispensers for them with Donald Duck heads and so on. But I never did as I preferred stuff that endangered your teeth more.

I rekon a certain man who is taking, an hiatus :innocent: from this site while a poll is conducted, would take a very dim view of this thread.
It could be worse, I could be wrong... maybe he has a sweet tooth?

Anyone remember sweet peanuts? Candy in the shape of a monkey nut shell around chopped peanut in a sugary sauce of some sort.

Used to love them. And Pineapple Cubes.

And Wham! bars .... Pink chewy things with fizzy stuff. On a cold day they would shatter when you bit into them. On a hot day you tucked in and they sttttrrrrreeeeeettttttcccccchhhhhheeeeeedddddd down to your knees with bits of sticky pink string getting everywhere.

Tasted absolutely foul, IIRC, but we loved them anyway. 10p a throw, and the ideal accompaniment to a new packet of footie stickers.
Names are just a souvenir ...

Garbage Pail Kids stickers ruled my school!
My mum wouldn't let me buy them (?!)

About two years ago I bought a full box of the feckers on ebay (see my avatar). gave a few packs to me mates, but I'm still left wiv loads... so...

Does anyone want a packet? I'll happily bung one in an envelope for you. they're actually even sicker than you remember them to be. and you still get a free stick of bubble gum inside! (hmm, wonder how it tastes after 20 years?

Let me know if anyone wants a packet!
