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.

Skittles had an old campaign message with a similar logo.

That wouldn't be cadbury's flake? Add it with ice cream and its 99 or something.


"Star system"
Astros?
Mars?
Gaxlaxy?


"US currency "
Chocolate coins.

Or dime bar.



"Mixed blacks "

Bassets all sorts. Orginal flavour?

41. Rude dog

Wasn't their a cartoon called Rude Dog and the Dweebs? If I remember rightly, there was some really tangy sweets called Dweebs.

Lots of right answers there :) well done guys, you all seem to know your sweets.

I'll add a few more questions, though some might be in multi-packs instead of sold individually.

There we go, another 5.

I changed 23 a bit. 10, 14, 36 and 42 are ones you should eventually get.

It might help (with some of the ones above) if I remind you of the answers for 5 & 16.
