Sit back & relax......I wanna tell you a story confused
Not so long ago, myself & a special friend went out for a drink because I said I needed to talk to him. I knew that I wanted to raise the topic of us getting it together again (we had once, previously a couple of years before) and he knew this too- my best friend (his ex) had forewarned him banghead.
Anyway, despite the fact that we're both pretty worldly, and very close as friends, two hours later- guess what we were talking about?
Liquorice Allsorts. :huh: :confused:
Yup, despite the fact that our time together was short- we were both so bloody redface that the conversation was about how much we both hate liquorice. We came to the conclusion that the only reason said sweets should be allowed to exist was because they had one saving grace- the little (pink & yellow) cuboid ones that had no liquorice in them at all.
From then on in, any references to embarrassing moments, or if we have one of those moments when we both get surprisedops: always take us back to liquorice, and how bloody stupid we both are.
So, heres where I need your help. It's his birthday shortly- and he's banned me from sending him a "normal" card or pressie. I need to post his present by thursday. What I want to do is get some of the cuboid ones, put them in a tiny gift box and send them to him, with a note saying "it takes all sorts."
However, I looked at a pack in the shop yesterday- and the packaging appeared to be saying that there was only four types of sweets in the box- and none of them were the right ones :eek: You can't see into the packs to find out, and I haven't been able to find out online.
So, I thought that among you lot of sexual miscreants- there must be someone weird enough to eat the damn things who can tell me if they still contain the little cuboids! I'm not mad enough to spend £4 on a box of sweets I hate otherwise lol
Help!
Ps, this has to be the strangest thread I've started in ages!
I hate liquorice too... but are you thinking of the ones with the bobbles on that are pink and blue?? aren't they round?
>am off to ask colleagues hang on<

I can't do that picture linky thing...
which ones ??
None of 'em! I distinctly recall little hard-ish cuboids, that were kind of softer in the middle- and he did too. However Mr w is convinced they were in some other type of sweets, so Im starting to doubt myself now confused
PS, right click the pic, click "copy picture location" paste into thread. Highlight what you pasted, then click Img (just along from quote button).
Jobs a good un :thumbup:

no, sorry wenchy those sweets are not in Liquorice (one of them got all excited about me buying him a bag just to be sure)
ho hum... I did try.

TY for all your efforts kiss and I'm so glad to have another liqourice hater in the ranks.
Now I need to know if they were ever there- or we both had the same hallucination :shock:
sweetshop place thing

I think I actually know which sweet you are talking about now... they were tiny and much smaller than the other sweets that were with them.
midget gems?? mmm maybe not they were in a selection of midget type sweets. mmm oh gosh, I can't think at all. We are wracking our brains here.

Fruit allsorts - tried them and Yeugh!
Liquorish allsorts on the other hand. Mmmmmmmmmmm yummy!
As for the pink and yellow (with no liquorish) that does sound like a dolly mixture as Splendid says.
ps , I don't think they're the same as dolly mixtures?
Are dolly mixtures hard? Although they quite possibly are!!!

Splendid, you are indeed. TY to your colleague kiss too.
OK, now I look really silly.

I think Dolly misture or the sugar coated type jelly tots.
Failing that I like the sherbet flying saucers!! lol
Yeah, right. Everyone rub it in. Winchy is a numpty- of almost Missy proportions :doh:

send the ones you don't like to me. My collegues assure me that they will 'help'.

Without visual aid, I think it is coming back to me.
One of the dolly mixtures was a cube (with rounded edges with a harder glazed coating and a softer fondant centre.
I would not eat one unless my life depended on it, and if I was in a bit of a mood, not even then….. Yuk!!! Blek!!
I think now it is sorted out, we should have a mass group tasting session.

I love liquorice. The soft Aussie stuff is my favourite, comes in lots of flavours.
Damn.......
I now have a hankering for rasberry flavoured liquorice. I've only just sated my last urge which was cinammon flavoured jelly belly's. I'll have no teeth left at this rate.
