I cannot stand liquorice allsorts of any type...

There used to be fruit versions of allsorts though. They were rather good...

There still is

They are tasty too...

I tried the fruit version once - they were well strange.

At least we're agreed on green fruit pasilles being the best even if we disagree about liquorice.

Is there?



Indeed : you can have the liquorice allsorts, and now I know they still exist, I'll have the fruity ones!

I've seen the fruity ones in Smiths

*makes note : go to Smiths tomorrow*

I did this in the name of science and enquiry, you understand...

Purple - 2
Green - 1
Red - 5
Yellow - 5
Orange - 1

I'm not that keen on fruit pastilles. Can we do Love Hearts next, please? Whatever sort of sweet, I like the yellow ones best anyway.

How about skitttles? I could easily eat a few packets of those. In the name of science of course!

You lot have been stung because I got mile more sweets in my £ pack than you got in 5 tubes

green, red, orange, yellow, purple - not the same as my order for fruit pastilles (apart from green being best and purple/black least favourite).

I can't remember the flavours of lovehearts. Haven't had any for a long time. Haven't had fizzers for ages either...

Ah, but you didn't. You had 63. There's 70 in 5 tubes.

right!! Hope they were worth it for an extra 7

I prefer fruit gums. Think I'll have to buy myself some tomorrow.

I like the taste of fruit gums, but they have lifted fillings out of my teeth on two separate occasions, so I avoid them now...

To be honest I can't say I'm that fussy about my fruit pastille flavours. They all taste scrummy

orange, lemon, lime and some sort of pink flavour, I think...

Are fizzers the same as refreshers Flossie?

Perhaps I need to do a poll, do the same people like the spotty licorice allsorts as like green fruit pastilles. Maybe there is something about the same types of tastebuds here.

I bought a packet of Minstrels and they were all the same colour

So were all my chocolate buttons, AND they never had holes in them like real buttons...

Just as well! They'd all melt on a hot day, and all your clothes would fall off

No, fizzers are like tiny Love Hearts without the printing.

Love Hearts are yellow, orange, white(pineapple, I think), purple, pink and green. I like yellow best, followed by purple, white, orange, pink and green last. Green is almost always last for me.

thanks andante

Have you ever found two of these with patterns that exactly match?

This pack contains 5 yellow, 2 red, 6 black, 1 orange, 0 green.

Perhaps I should take it back to the shop...

Black are my favourite in almost any sweets. I love liqurice but not the sweetie type ones that most people seem to enjoy.

Bought some Shots today and they were all the same colour

I always hated those

I love them!

They're ok. I like gummy stuff like haribos better. fizzy ones like tangfastics

Lets see how many fizzy cherry's are in a pack... lol

Must buy some of these.. off to the shop now!

A bit more of a mix this time...

3 Yellow
4 Orange
4 Green
2 Black
1 Red

Belated info for the fruit pastille survey: 2 yellow, 2 black, 3 red, 7 green.

I love Lovehearts - perhaps we could do which messages crop up most frequently. One of the messages is now 'email me' - sign of the times

Red - 11
Orange - 16
Green - 7
Yellow - 3
Black - 5

You're a couple of minutes late to make it onto today's table.

Aww, if you pester a load of people to eat some more too, I might put up another one later.

red 3, black 3, orange 3, yellow 3, green 2

I feel vindicated in my complaints re: Green pastilles so far!

Yay! Come on red fruit pastilles!

5 yellow,
3 green
3 red
2 orange
2 black

Another pack well down on green fruit pastilles...

4 yellow, 4 orange, 3 black, 2 red, only 1 measly green one...

Erm, you must have had an unusually long packet because you appear to have 15 there.

Um - I'm sure it was right, because I had them in little piles and had to explain to my son not only why I was doing it but why this also meant that I had to eat them all, and he couldn't have any, just to make sure. The packet came from Morrisons - I'd better go back and get another one, just to make sure

Maybe they accidentally gave you an extra one?! This used to happen with the little tubs of jaffa cakes. I'd get to school, open it, and to my delight I had 7 jaffa cakes instead of 6. I think I once even had 8!!

Could be Now we'll all be squeezing our packets of fruit pastilles to count them before we buy them, just in case there's an extra one in there

7 green, 4 orange, one each of the other colours.

I like this packet

Did anyone hear on the news that there has been a huge upserge in the sales of fruit pastiles

I should have pre-empted this and bought shares in Rowntree

Just bought a packet, very strange sequence:-
