Hello! Here's a quiz about sweeties that I did yesterday while on holiday. I added a few of my own, the rest are credited to Russell who gave me a copy of his quiz.

Below are a list of clues to help you identify a sweetie. So picture the shelves in a newsagent minus crisps, drinks, cards, cigs, toys, etc. I should warn you that some of the answers I never really considered sweets (for example, Fisherman's Friend), so please bear that in mind.

Correct Timmargh :) And it was one of my favourite episodes.

The two other sweets needing answers are Black Jacks and Fruit Salads.

Hope you enjoyed the quiz ^^

The main problem is that it wouldn't go down that well in the office with music! :D

Yeah, I did a game music quiz. It's still available if you want to have a listen. The 2nd one is underway. Whether it's easier or not remains to be seen. It all comes down to whether you played the games or not.

I knew it had something to do with "box" but completely lost after that!

Yeah, I could do a game screenshot quiz no problem. I think I will do a retro one for the first round and then a more modern one (by saying retro, I mean pre-PS2 and the original XB...as thats going back a fair way :D).

I think also, a sticky thread with cumulative scores etc with all the quizzes that may be going on. We could have an overall winner then. Just a thought...

Look forward to the last two answers though :) (Sour Apples one by chance?)

You sure? Okay, 39 is this! I'll leave the other two up incase someone else gets them :) Maybe you just need a break to think about it, go away from the computer, spend a penny and come back and try again. ;)

Yeah he did, it was quite hard as there were a few Sonic and Mario games, and I've not played many of them. But I did get about 4 out of 60, so not too bad :D

Ooo a game screenshot quiz sounds good. You sure you could do one?

Did GP do a game music quiz? I could do a game screenshot quiz if you'd like? Have a big mix of screenshots of a variety of games.
