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.

Nice one, "Give us a twirl" :D Now just 2 left.

Sorry no joy for 39. You need to think of another word for coldstore and container. It's not as popular as Milk Tray, which might be why it's not been found :)

I wonder if it'll help if I tell you that number 10 is similiar to 5.

Nice one pb :) you just found another 4. Minstrels was the medieval bard one. And Edinburgh Rock was the one you all had a go at. They're like small sticks of rock.

I've given the answer to number 4, it's one of Russells questions so I have to admit to not knowing them.

There's only 3 left, I added alternatives to two of them. Number 39 is similiar to 16.

Hopefully the clue will help you Jason and you won't need to make that trip to Woolies :D

I've been wracking m brains side to side for this oe and may have to go to Woolies in a bit for "research". Only thing I can think of is "Roses". But no idea really. I'm going to kick myself!

39. Milk Bottles?
49. Candy Sticks?

And the comment about Scottish Granite I can assume means 'Rock', that sugary red and white striped thing you always get in seaside resorts.. but I'm not sure how Scotch relates..
