I'll have some of those.

The Fruit Gums are great because they are the proper fruit-shaped ones which always seem to taste better than the ones in tubes. But for sharing? I don't think so!

I don't know the word share.

Looking at this thread more closely, those Pick and Mix look brilliant - lead me to them!

I've seen them in Woolworths so far and Morrisons have the bags of Aero Bubbles and Quality Street.

You mean cos of the gelatine or have they stopped being made?

smurfboy · « **Reply #13 on:** January 31, 2007, 09:12:29 pm »

The gelatine. I'm pretty sure they're still being made - it's just that I can't eat them

kevvosa · « **Reply #14 on:** January 31, 2007, 11:00:28 pm »

I haven't had any in ages but can't say I miss them. You can get 'vege jellies' but they're expensive, and to be honest taste crap.
