Let's talk travel sweets

[Davecrawf]

Heading for Cabopino on Sunday.
One of the most important provisions is travel sweeties
Our recent discovery is that Lakeland sell a delightful selection. Anyone else found these

 

[Just smiffy]

I like mint imperials… on this run through Spain and Morocco I’m having menthol suckers…

 

[Grianan]

Has to be a mint humbug or a toffee … the French Elodie ones are nice too …

 

[Carpmart]

What were those ones in the tin, with fine icing sugar dusting! Loved them!

Looked like a cocaine dealer/user by the end of a long journey though!

My God I'm surrounded by old people mint imperials were Noah's sweet of choice and humbugs are something invented by dentist to increase turnover a big bucket of haribo that's all you need

 

[Northernraider]

I'm on these from marjane in maroc ..

It's about a 2kg bag ....

Naah, too easy to eat all of them!

Too soft ...I'd have them finished within 5 miles

Serious issue this. Non of that Belly Locker stuff here. As Bill Shankly said:
"Some people believe sweets are a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you that they are much, much more important than that.”

To all those who reckon haribo are easy to eat try doing them with my teeth they last for hours

Added calcium .. didn’t know you shopped in the Health foods aisle

 

[prb]

Mentoes.
Fed by Vasco, always exciting to guess the mint/fruit flavour!
About as much excitement as I can manage nowadays...

 

[andyman]

Trebor extra strong mints. Hopefully got enough left for the journey home in 2 weeks time.

 

[Riverbankannie]

Vichey Mints from France

[Minxy]

Werther's originals for us ... discovered them years ago pre-retirement so they aren't just for old farts!

 

[Figaro]

Fox's Glacier Fruits my current favorite, but I do like a Mint Imperial
Haribo are great, but I can't help myself, I have to finish the packet then later get a sugar crash

Do you mean these boiled sweets?

 

[Masman]

Blackcurrant and liquorice are my go to Sweets.

 

[fishplug]

I'm clearly in a minority here.

My 'travel snack' of choice are almonds. I buy the 750g bags and if I'm feeling really posh then I'll mix them 50:50 with some cashew nut halves (taste the same as the whole ones, but are cheaper)

(I'm already picturing a bunch of you grabbing a handful of sherbet lemons with one hand while preparing an outraged reply with the other )

In my defence, this isn't down to any attempt to 'eat better' or anything like that. I've just never had a sweet tooth and can't be doing with melty chocolate or sticky sugary stuff on my hands when driving.

Oh yes, that was a big treat when Mum opened those on the journey from Castle Cary to the Isle of Sheppey for our Summer Holiday with my Aunt and Uncle. He was a prison warden there. We had use of an indoor swimming pool and there was a prison officers club house. It seemed so exotic.

 

[LesW]

Winter Mixture for me with Wurthers as a back up..

 

[Ingwe]

Well, if you’re lucky enough to have a Boyes store near you, they have a great selection of sweeties for £1 for a bag. And a normal bag, not one of those shrink-inflation bags.
Our current selection for our two month trip to Portugal and Spain via France include:
1. Chocolate limes (like sherbets but choc centred treats)
2. Lemon sherbets
3. Murray type mints
4. Soft, chewy Pontefract cakes
5. Werthers ‘old fart’ Originals. (Sorry Minxy )
6. Vichy mints

We’re a dentist’s dream!

 

[Shrimp]

Little Gems or Gummy Bears.

Chocolate Limes

If you want a peak into sweets and sugar, look at the Morocco teeth health, put you off sweets and sugar for life!

Not such a bad idea
I may give it a try

 

[Al n Val]

Werthers and soft centre Old English humbugs are our choice but tbh we’ll eat anything

Problem is i’m a cruncher so they last seconds

I’m partial to American hard gums but never see them above the glove box as Val won’t buy ‘em
