Hello all

My tutor came to my lesson last week saying that he'd been offered different kinds of sweets from his younger students. These were Snot Drops , Toxic Waste and Whatever! I hate to imagine what are in these things, but has anyone else heard of them or other similar sounding gastric fayre?

Toxic waste is a realy sour sweet

I Know, I once took a packet to a football match, and me and my cousins were daring each othewr to eat as many as we dared in on go.
I got to about five in my mouth at one time, and my eyes nearly popped backwards into my head with the force I was scrunching my eyes up. It was a bad idea though, as the next day, the sweets seemed to had worn down the cavity on m fangs and I got a shivering through my body every time the tip of my fangs touched something, thankfully it healed over once I started to spend longer brushing my teeth.

Ooooh where can you get them from? I LOVE sour sweets....

Not heard of them! But I have never really been into sweets...

That absolutely begs for the question "What are you into then?!"

Mushy Mushrooms?!?
*sorry, couldn't resist*

Mushrooms are gross
(I don't mean you mushroom!)

Heh. I've seen many people be put off sour sweets by toxic waste.

Seriously, even eating one can really make your teeth feel sort of soft, and I really do find it difficult to finish one.

really sour! - there was some problems with the sweets having too much citric acid in them or something...

My God! These sound horrendous!! I want to try one though, just to see!!! Will look out for them! Thanks all

I never saw the point of really sour sweets, they don't generally taste nice and are expensive as well as doing various nasty things to you. When I first ate a toxic waste, I discovered that I had the ability to eat something without tasting it though which is quite cool really

Hello Superpyroman! I love your signature!! I dread to ask this though, but why have you named two potatoes Beverley and a tin of tomatoes Leonard?? Are you getting any help with this. I know a very good doctor......

i dont like those sour things...and iv never heard of the others! my brother eats some really gross things though.

A food safety review has found them to contain dangerous levels of citric acid, leading to permanent damage of tooth enamel.

I love them I eat about one a year though!

Mmmmmm, sourness

I got mine from blackpool tower.

What's your favourite sweet?
mine is haribo gums

They're probably mine as well, especially those little Teddy bears you get, I could eat those for a lifetime.

Same. I'm a sucker for old fashioned sweets like sherbert lemons and peardrops and mint humbags...

They're called Humbugs, not humbags.

Oops. I'm a bit sleepy.

Those toxic things sound really foul! Does anyone remember the white chocolate skulls that used to made? They were in boxes in the penny mix range and were filled with red jelly so that when you bit into them they bled! My favourites are jelly beans and white choc of any sort except for bleeding skulls. I used to know an artist who ate aniseed balls all day and her teeth were worn and brownish. Yuk!

I have tried one, my face screws up at the very thought!

There's gumm y sweets like that, bleeding bugs, I( think they're called, and they have red juice inside them, which is absolutely gorgeous, yum.

Maybe Percy Pig & Friends - but realistically, pretty much anything *drool*

Love them!And Tangfastics..mmmmm...


Sherbet Lemons....heh heh.. (Sorry, am HP-orientated again)

My current favourite sweet is one I 'discovered' in China....those milk flavoured 'White Rabbit' sweets with the edible rice paper on top Can't get enough of them...

I love Percy Pig! I once got a huge tin stufeedfull of them for christmass.
YUMEEYUMEEYUMEEYUMEEYUMEEYUMEEYUMEEYUMEE

I like those white rabbit ones as well. My grandma gives them to me all the time.

They are nice! A girl in my class brought some back from China when she went to visit family - though I have to admit I didn't trust her at first when she told me to eat the papery stuff with it! She laughed when I started to peel it off!

They sound nice.
