Advantages: tasty, LOVEly, cheap
Disadvantages: bad for teeth!

...Love hearts are delicious, and no ordinary sweets. I just got a pack, as I was feeling like some fizzy sweets. These sweets are fizzy and delicious, and they come at a great price. These would be the best sweets to give to your girlfriend, if you wanted to please her. Each sweet is round, and has a little message on it. I will explain about them a bit more in my review. The sweets come in a tube of quite a few sweets, around 18 or so. They are wrapped up in plastic packaging, and this keeps them in good condition. Round this, the label is wrapped round. The label is white, and not particularly special, as they are love sweets, and the label could be pink or purple or some interesting colour. The label is white, but has some pictures of love hearts on it, and Love Hearts in capitals on the front in red writing. The tubes are rather small... Read review

Advantages: Taste Great
Disadvantages: Sugar, sugar and more sugar

...I have yet another sore throat. The doctor has threatened me with taking my tonsils out, so to avoid seeing him again I have invested my money on some medicated sweets. I choose blackcurrant flavoured Halls Soothers. The Packaging. Halls Soothers come in a packet with ten individually paper wrapped sweets. On the outer package is a lot of information. The claim is that these are "blackcurrant flavour sweets with liquid centres made with fruit juice". (Do you think this counts as one of my five fruit and veg for the day?) The best before date on this pack is dec 2007, giving the product a long shelf life. There are nutrition facts, storage information and the ingredients lists along with health warnings. I have to admit that I thought these were medicated sweets until I read the information on the package. Halls Soothers... Read review

...My husband found this web site by mistake on night when he was surfing the web and we think it is great. Ever wish that you could get those sweets you used to eat when you were a little girl/boy well wish not longer here is a web site that sells just that sweets from the good old days when penny chews did only cost 1p. A quarter of …… About A quarter of the old-fashioned sweetshop with all your favourites - from flying saucers, floral gums, and sweet tobacco to shrimps, they do however sell new sweets as well as the old favourites. The website actually came about after a conversation in the pub where they went down memory lane and starting remembering all the sweets that they used to buy at the sweet shop on their way to school. They thought that the idea was just that an idea as they were certain that the idea would not work... Read review

Advantages: Taste Great
Disadvantages: Not that good for you

.... the pack is easy to open and keeps the chocolate fresh. My experience- Personally I love minstrels partly due to the fact I love Galaxy chocolate. Firstly you crunch into the crispy cholate outer shell and then into the rich smooth milk chocolate beneath. They tatse sweet. choclatey and rich. Nutritiously- As with all choclate minstrels are high calories and fat content and are really best saved for a special treat Summary: Yummy!!!... Read review

Advantages: they taste so goooood
Disadvantages: they pile pounds on the hips

...but the proper ones that look like a twig off a tree these are very hard to get a hold of these days. At number 5 Yorkshire mix another boiled sweet but it has several different sweets in one mix I always loved the fish but you didn't get many in a pack. At number 4 cola cubes love these they are a square sweet that tastes of cola they are tricky to eat and a bit odd but very nice. At number 3 fire balls these are like a gob stopper with bubbly in the middle the outside is red and they are very hot and spicy on the tongue. At number 2 sweet peanuts these look like a monkey nut but they are a boiled sweet which has nuts in the middle very nice. And at number 1 my best most favourite sweet of all times is beer bottles they are like a jelly cola bottle but they taste of beer, my entire family hate them they can not stand the smell of them...

Advantages: Great selection, Taste Great, Perfect for Parties
Disadvantages: Contains traces of nuts

...In my opinion, Cadbury's Heroes are one of the best assortments of sweeties around. For a start, I am a big chocolate fan and my preference has always been Cadbury's, closely followed by Galaxy. Cadbury's chocolate is sweet and creamy yet not too sickly as Galaxy can tend to be after a while of munching! The chocolate is also smooth and melts nicely in your mouth. Heroes were first launched in the United Kingdom in September 1999 and have been extremely popular since. You can purchase Heroes in either a tin which weighs 1kg and costs roughly £9.99 or tub which weigh 285g, 480g and 2.5kg as well. Obviously the price depends on size and where you buy the product from. These sweets are available from most supermarkets such as Asda, Woolworths, Sainsbury's, Tesco etc. Heroes contain miniature sizes bars of Cadburys Dairy Milk, Caramel... Read review

Advantages: liquorice, aniseed
Disadvantages: go to quick

...Fox liquorice and aniseed by foxs. The one with the polar bear on the packet.They produce Glacier Mints, Glacier Fruits, and best of all Liquorice & Aniseed. They are an acquired taste if you dont like liquorice or aniseed dont try these. They are in a black/purple bag with the polar bear logo on it. I purchased a pack from work. they were 99p for 200g b.o.g.o.f offer. So I tried them and I have never looked back. They are a type of boiled sweet but my are they gorgeous. The sweet is about 1cm long and half cm wide. But the best flavours working together. Approx 40-50 sweets in bag dont really know as I eat them to quick so never actually counted them. Fox's have now created a new sweet from an old favourite. Fox's Liquorice and Aniseed boiled sweets are rich in flavour, based on the age old recipe for Army and Navy sweets, combining...

Advantages: Scent, shape coulour and variety
Disadvantages: Need lots of support

...Sweet Peas are one of the most easily grown climer and given the right circumstances can produce splendorous results. I have gained the best results from the seeds I have purchased from Wilko's, any thing from 39p per packet up over! My favourite's at the moment are Spencer Wave, produceing large frilly white blooms on a long stem, excellent in cut flower displays. The variety of sweet peas on the market is outstanding, a great selection of scents shapes sizes and colours are now available with new varieties becomming more readily available. Sweet peas ned some sort of support to climb up, in either the form of a wig wam or perhaps a trellis of some sort. Don't be afraid to use your imagination when it come to sweet peas. They can provide a beautiful scented screen or back drop in any garden and with them climing, they take up very... Read review

Advantages: A great taste
Disadvantages: The sweets are small so the taste doesn't last long

...At this exact moment I am sucking a werthers original no, not the circular ones that are regulary in the shops but the rectangular ones In Londis (the local newsagents) they were selling these at a wonderful price 44p so if you have some change why don't you buy some these are delicous. Packaging: The packet is rectangular and a yellowish colour with 'Werthers original' in big posh writing the back is a yellowish colour with all the ingrediients written the packiging for the sweet is small golden paper that has werthers written in white on it. The price: As I said I paid 44p for this product which is a good offer these are mainly sold between 35p to 50p any higher is a rip off but you won't get much lower than 35p for 15 sweets. Taste: Well the taste is hard to explain you get a light sort off buttery taste in your mouth mixed... Read review
