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.

Well done Dragonlance, GP and Jason :D I thought we'd never get Black Magic. :)

I decided to give the answer to number 12 as Lion is another brand of knitting needle like Aero.

Jason as you got Black Magic you should be able to get 10 as well.

9 isn't butter scotch I'm afraid. Here's a clue, you can get something very, very similiar when you visit the beach.

Out of all the questions left unanswered (excluding the new ones I added earlier) I think 14 is the one you'll likely kick yourself for not getting straight away.

Is 14 something like Trebor Extra Strong Mints? It's the only thing that I can think of at the moment.

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..

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!
