Are purple sweets are better then all other coloured sweets?

Are green coloured sweets the worst?

You've clearly never chewed a green and a black at the same time.
It is like a tiny mouth orgasm, and you get to feel like you made a recipe. Green ones on their own, yeah, meh. See also: orange and black, green and red.

(Edit: and red and black, but that has to be saved for when you really feel you deserve it.)

Yellow are utterly irredeemable.

Green sweets that are apple flavoured are shit
But the lime ones are good. Also, purple coloured stuff can be bubblegum flavoured, which is manky, though yeah the berry flavoured ones are great.

Best sweets are Spogs, or pink and blue jelly buttons..... and that's from three years dedicated research when I was working part time for a sweet wholesalers through university!

Although if it's served blue (like any piece of fillet steak should be), I often find it's sufficient to let the chips soak in the bloody red juices the flow out of the meat when it's cut.
