Cooks Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 the orange are the best , same as orange smarties taste the best as well. This is how my love of the colour orange came about... orange sweets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessa the Duchess Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 same as orange smarties taste the best as well: I bought a packet of Smarties for my grandson, hadn't bought any for years. I was shocked at how much the colours had changed, they are all dull now instead of bright, we used to do pretend lipstick with the red ones, you can't do it now Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missuscluck Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Thats because we are wiser to e numbers now. We were all high on all sorts of colourings back then. They are made with natural colourings now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessa the Duchess Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 My favourite rubbish sweets when I was little were spaceship (2 for a penny) and yellow banana shaped sweets. I sometimes buy the bananas from the kids pick and mix in Woollies and pretend they are for my grandson, but they are really for me Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I love those bananas! The space ships used to stick to the roof of my mouth though! Wonderful, another site that will be receiving lots of orders from me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Whatever it was that Spaceships were made of is exactly the same as communion hosts were made of My little Roman Catholic friends and I used to carefully suck all the sherbet out and then play at being Catholic priests giving Holy Communion Little wonder that we are all ex-Catholics now Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
