Were you party to the fruit pastilles debate of the other day?
Favourite flavours were being discussed.

I saw the thread, got a craving, ate Percy Pigs instead
Lemon and lime ones, natch. Then black, then orange, then red.

Lemon and lime? Are you mentally ill?
(Although on the plus side, based on your selections, I would share a packet of fruit pastilles with you).
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 27 Feb 2011, 23:28, Reply)

I like the citrussy ones the best.
Same method of eating goes for Starburst (though the lemon and lime are mixed togehter) and skittles.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Sun 27 Feb 2011, 23:29, Reply)

Skittles sours are the ULTIMATE is chewy treats.
FACT.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 27 Feb 2011, 23:32, Reply)

Oh yes.
The raspberry ones are my favourites.

Skittles have sours?

(berk, Sun 27 Feb 2011, 23:34, Reply)

As do starburst.
They're very good.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Sun 27 Feb 2011, 23:34, Reply)

Get involved.


You didn't know about the red and black pastilles either, did you?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 27 Feb 2011, 23:36, Reply)

No
but as you say, it's because I don't go down the sweetie aisle past the chocolate.
(berk, Sun 27 Feb 2011, 23:37, Reply)

You need to get out of the cholocate mindset berk.
You're missing out on some sugary joy.

I had a packet of 'sweet cigarettes' the other day (they are called 'candy sticks' now), my nephew didn't like them, so I ate them. The tasted exactly the same as when I was a kid.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 27 Feb 2011, 23:40, Reply)

It'll never happen
chocolate and I are best friends. Had a sherbert fountain recently? They come in a plastic tube now, it's not the same :(
(berk, Sun 27 Feb 2011, 23:43, Reply)

I know. It's fucking bent berk, it really is.
God only knows what they've done to the sherbert dib-dab, I've not seen them in years.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 27 Feb 2011, 23:52, Reply)

Really?
they have them in the sweetie shop in town.
(berk, Sun 27 Feb 2011, 23:54, Reply)

I was never a huge fan of sherbert to be fair though.
Now, the raspberry ruffle on the other hand.

Coconut, chocolate and a bit of a fruit flavour.

Oooh yes!
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 27 Feb 2011, 23:56, Reply)

Raspberry ruffle?
now those I don't think they make any more...
(berk, Mon 28 Feb 2011, 0:00, Reply)

You can still get them in both bar, and individual sweet form.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 28 Feb 2011, 0:03, Reply)

It looks like a Bounty bar with raspberry jam in...

Apart from the obvious win....
Your point is?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 28 Feb 2011, 0:07, Reply)

Sounds weird frankly
and it would probably make my teeth hurt. Plus I've never really liked fruit and chocolate in the same mouthful.

FREAKOID.
Terry's chocolate orange? Hello?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 28 Feb 2011, 0:11, Reply)

A notable exception, I grant you
my third favourite chocolate. Although I've fallen out with them a bit recently. may have fallen asleep in bed eating one. Electric blankets and chocolate don't mix...

berk
You disgust me.

It's not like I didn't change the sheets afterwards, you know.

Sucked them clean I'd imagine.

I'm not that desperate.

Not men.

Still not that desperate
although I am now sniggering to myself.

Are you stoned?
Or have you realised you'd rather chocolate than a bloke?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 28 Feb 2011, 0:27, Reply)

Stoned on a schoolnight?
no. I'm a good girl. I'm just chuckling away to myself as is my wont of an evening. Or early morning, possibly.
Chocolate or bloke... it's a good question.
(berk, Mon 28 Feb 2011, 0:30, Reply)

Make a chocolate man
You'll be happy then.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 28 Feb 2011, 0:33, Reply)

The main things I miss about having a bloke
are hugs and sex. I can see this going not at all well with a man made of chocolate.
It'd make blowjobs waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more fun though.

Depends if you like a fondant centre I suppose.

Citrus is the best
if you swapped orange and black in your list, you'd be exactly right. I miss Opal Fruits though
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 27 Feb 2011, 23:32, Reply)

Opal Fruits were awesome
I remember when they introduced the blackcurrant ones. I was torn between being disappointed lemon and lime were together and excited over how tasty the new ones were.

Pink jelly babies trump citrus.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Sun 27 Feb 2011, 23:33, Reply)

WHY DID THEY RENAME THEM STARBURST???
Fuck's sake, it was the perfect jingle... 'Opal Fruits, made to make your mouth water'.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Sun 27 Feb 2011, 23:46, Reply)

And they conglomerated the best ones

Bloody mixed-race Starburst.

Hey!
why am I a massive racist?
(berk, Sun 27 Feb 2011, 23:46, Reply)

Because you live in Birmingham and it's full of darkies?

I must be pro-darkie to live here.

Still, blinding curries, though.

God bless his soul.
Actually, in the town next to me the curry chef has won loads of awards. And Take That ate their after their 1993 tour.

This latter fact is not necessarily a mark of approval.

and no, it's not. Somewhere in Selly Oak has a similar commendation - and from Girls Aloud too I believe - and their curry is frankly crap.

Also, the Rupali was an excellent curry house.
