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.

pb you should be able to get Wobbly Toddlers. What other sweet could it be if Jelly Babies is already taken.
Assorted girls is another good one, maybe if I put it as "girls assorted" you might be able to get it.

Had them before, just past Best Before rather than Sell by, but all were fine. Will try to take a photo.

Could be, Yorkie is considered a trucker bar so maybe thats why people got confused. I think I'll go check Wikipedia for Yorkie and how it came about. I already did that with Fisherman's Friend.

Cheers, I can't remember if you ever did a review about them in the review section. Its certainly something I would consider. Maybe add an affiliate link should you decide to write one up :D

Well done, another 2 correct.
How about 41 and 42? Does Rude Dog sound familiar to you? And what about medieval bards?
