I was just eating some sports mixtures (my favourite swedger) and i was raging years ago when they changed the flavour of the black ones from liquorice to blackberry.
My question to you all is what's your favourite swedger and no chocolate bars allowed, it needs to be a penny type sweetie?
30 Mar 2026 22:40:45
Easy one. Basset's liquorice allsorts.
30 Mar 2026 22:42:47
Black jacks, 4 for a penny, back in the day.
30 Mar 2026 22:46:18
Cola Cubes.
30 Mar 2026 22:50:29
Kola cubes, sherbet lemoms, pears drops.
30 Mar 2026 23:03:36
Blackcurrant and liquorice or sweet peanuts. ?
30 Mar 2026 23:10:14
Like fruit pastilles, not the same as years ago, but still like them.
30 Mar 2026 23:30:57
Liquorice swirls were until I was about 12 and ate a full packet and ruined a holiday for everyone on the caravan site, if I see them now, it gets a bit tense.

Spanish gold tobacca.
30 Mar 2026 23:51:57
Penny caramels & Spanish gold tobacco. Two halfpenny caramels could be good if yae got both into your mooing together, the ones coated with chocolate, plus penny whoppers (amazing).

Black jacks or pear drops.
31 Mar 2026 00:24:56

Frosties fruit salads.

Penny dainty (toffee), fruit salad chews and bon buns (strawberry or the blue ones and of course the toffee ones).
31 Mar 2026 05:28:54
Cherry drobs were good.
31 Mar 2026 06:23:50
Remember the 2p toffee that.
31 Mar 2026 06:39:42
Cinammon balls.
31 Mar 2026 06:52:52
Soor plooms and sherbet dabs - only wish the plooms were made in blue. ??
31 Mar 2026 08:00:56
Anybody remember Mojo's? Liked the refresher chew (same size as a penny dainty).
31 Mar 2026 08:15:33
Speckled doves.
31 Mar 2026 08:25:41
Lol, wondered why nobody had commented Mitsis or similar. Step forward Strom, lol.
Loved a speckled dove myself.
31 Mar 2026 08:40:11
Never heard of a speckled dove. ?
31 Mar 2026 08:49:15

Mind mojos? I miss them.
31 Mar 2026 09:06:59
Not a sweetie, but an MB Bar?
31 Mar 2026 09:08:39
Midget Gems, the proper ones. Not the cheap rubbish knock offs you get these days.
31 Mar 2026 09:45:11
Loved Argentina chews and Whopper bars from the van at school. ? Also sweet peanuts and Wham bars. ?
31 Mar 2026 11:03:50
Chelsea whoppers and strawberry bon bons.
31 Mar 2026 11:19:51
Opal Fruits, but not the same now they are called Starburst.
Can't leave anything alone, just change for change's sake.
31 Mar 2026 11:27:33
Mint Toffos.
31 Mar 2026 11:36:21

Get two down yer throat at same time an just sit back and relax. ☺️
31 Mar 2026 11:42:25
Proper Kola Kubes with the gooey centre.
31 Mar 2026 11:48:02
Odd fellows. Penny caramel, Spangles, Cola cubes, Footballer chews. When I think back, any sweetie really. ????
31 Mar 2026 12:29:17
You had to make it sound dirty, I'll need to look for them, Storm. ??
Odd fellows, wow blast from the past, Spangles Olde English packet.
Cream line toffees anyone?
Taking me back now, Newman. ??
31 Mar 2026 13:11:54
Brought back some good memories with all the old Swedgers that I've not eaten for years, Doves included. I have come to the conclusion that all of the above are the reason that my teeth now resemble a row of condemned toilets. ?
31 Mar 2026 14:49:01
Double dropping, Storm!
Takes me back.
31 Mar 2026 14:55:18
Tooty frooty can't get them anywhere now, gave u a right sore jaw.
31 Mar 2026 15:13:42
Was that the wee square shaped chewy sweets with a hard coating, Fergie, and they were loose in a bag?
31 Mar 2026 15:14:04
10p mixture.
31 Mar 2026 16:28:24
Anyone mind ABC's? Used to get them and Caramel Buttercup (I think) from me gran.
31 Mar 2026 16:37:37
Double dunt we called it mph. ?♂️ You didn't think it was hitting you, so you took another cheeky one, and then it was a very strange night. ?
Fork, I honestly didn't mean to make it sound that way.
Strawberry Bon Bon's, real ones with the dust, not the ones you get these days, I loved.
31 Mar 2026 16:56:32
Lol, I know, bud. ??
31 Mar 2026 17:52:35
Strange?
Wouldn't be the adjective I would have used, Storm. ?
The first time I did it, I had to be escorted from the nightclub in Edinburgh and spent the rest of the night in my mate's car getting chaperoned until everybody else returned at 4 in the morning!
On the topic of actual sweets, loved a McGowan's Highland Toffee.
And an iced caramel.
No wonder dentists make a fortune!
