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

Never heard of them!! I used to love those ikkle things that looked like tiny bricks, anyone remember what they were called?

Erm, midget gems maybe?

No, they weren't chewy, they were quite hard and they were all different colours.........usually found with the 2p sweets and stuff

Eeeeuww, sports mixtures are truly disgusting! My fella eats em all the time, cant see the point of chewing on a tasteless lump of jelly that just gets stuck in ya teeth!

Give me sherbert flying saucers any day!

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 think that's what they were called..................The packet was all stripy???

It sure was... Pez ruled! I've got a mate-of-a-mate who collects the dispensers... She's got about 100 different ones...

Can you still get em?

Can't find a picture of some Soor Plooms...

EDIT...



Although to be honest, I'd rather just have some gin...

Yes but Haribo have the most annoying adverts, and anyone how has that bloody tune as a ringtone needs shooting!

I rekon a certain man who is taking, an hiatus 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.

sweet peanuts............mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I remember those. Talking of stickers, does anyone remember those garbage pale stickers you used to get with the really gross chewing gum inside?

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!

'nuff said.
