You must have been dining/shopping in the wrong places in 1998
The diabetes in a bottle that is the wondrous sweet chilli dipping sauce has been all the rage up here for as long as i can remember. My local Chinee supermarket do litre bottles of the stuff for 90p.

Damn tootin'
Sugar is one thing, but SALT is where we really open up the gap. Gotta keep that heart attack accolade ours!

EDIT to say, one time we were in a take away chinee one night after the pub and I was poor and could only afford a bag of chips. I asked for the sawl'n'vinegurr and proceeded to season' my own pomme frittes. I put so much salt on them that the girl behind the counter actually dry retched as she watched me.

Best fuckin chips I ever had.

And acidic sweets, I believe
Those sour, fizzy numbers that literally dissolve the teeth.

GO SCOTLAND!

An example to the world of how to really not give a flying fuck.

A chippy, a bookies, a pub and a pound shop on every street.
Guaranteed!

I banned from my kids from those teeth melters, particularly the ones that just do away with pretence altogether and just present you with a bottle of citric acid with a deodorant style roller at the top for direct tongue application.
