Default Going off Haribo

Can't believe it!! Only bloody reason I had kids.Don't know if I just overdosed on them

Only decent replacement so far are the M&S Percy Pigs

Suppose at 43 should be eating adult sweets like After Eights but I like the midget gems/wine gum stuff (aren't they made from horses hooves)

Sweets aren't for just the kids, fair play. I occasionally fancy a Cadbury's milk chocolate bar or a toffee that you can crunch between your teeth. Sugar coated almonds are very nice, too. I am not into jelly babies and chewy wine gums type of things. My children (both 18+) and their 40+ dad are massively into sweets. Daddy can gobble a whole tub of jelly babies in one sitting. God help them.

Not for me, strangely enough. I was addicted to Cadbury's milk chocolate when I was a kid. Then I went off them. I do buy them very occassionally, but I don't find sweets that appealing in general TBH.

I bought two small bars of Cadbury's milk ones yesterday, on my way to Menai Bridge. Our regional weather station has warned that one needs to travel with enough munchies, just in case one gets stuck in the snow and gets hungry. Anyhow, snow wasn't too bad yesterday, so I never ate them. They may get eaten one day.
