Let's talk travel sweets
- Thread starter Davecrawf
- Start date
I became hooked on Vichy Pastilles travelling around France - must get back there soon as I’ve run out of these lovely mints that have a similar texture to Edinburgh rockHeading 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

Candy Kittens (sour watermelon or Eton Mess for preference), Wine gums as a second option.... Press into the roof of my mouth whilst driving and see how many miles it covers!

Liquorice torpedoes all the way for me! It was a major turning point in my life when I discovered Sainsbury’s sell them!
. As an aside, I’m currently in Siliguri, India riding the Darjeeling and Himalayan Railway and can’t stop thinking about Mars Bars! Don’t know why because at home they wouldn’t be my first choice! I must be a chocolate bar short of a Picnic!

It doesn't matter to me as by the time we get round to eating ours they've usually melded together into a knobbly lump!Remember when Maltesers used to be nice and shiny and perfect spheres?

When I was a child and Woolies served loose sweets my Dad used to embarrass my sister and I by buying a pound of jelly babies “ no black ones please”. He always had the same lady serve him , she looked like Stanley Baxter in drag, with hindsight she may well have been a transvestite or trans but as a child I would not have known. It was the no black ones bit that we were embarrassed by. Dad just didn’t like them and was oblivious.

When taking the ferry I always have Barley Sugars. They were considered a remedy for motion sickness when I was a kid. I suspect it was a psychological way of taking my mind off the rough seas.

Great for mild pregnancy sickness too . Not that many of us are going to need them for that!

Farrah’s original Harrogate Toffees for me but you really have to suck them if you try and chew they do stick to your fillings/crowns and can pull them out!

My mum used to make toffee and buy barley sugar after the war, sweet rationing was on and I loved those sherbert flying saucers, that's what we called them, they were always in the car when holls came along, nowadays it's mint imperials for me, gloriously refreshing and suckable without finishing them off too soon.
