Title: Who bought the last of the pic 'n' mix ?
Post by: loulou on February 21, 2009, 04:24:42 pm

The last bag of Woolworths pic’n’mix was sold today for a whopping £14,500.
The souvenir from the collapsed retail chain was sold on internet auction site eBay.

The pricey 800g pic’n’mix bag contains fizzy cola bottles, rhubarb & custards, strawberry bon bons, Turkish delight, white mice, pineapple cubes, and many other favourite sweets.

Amazing what people will buy! Woolworth carrier bags will be worth hanging on to. Also, if you're brave neough and strong enough to steal a Woolworth fascia over night it might fetch a few bob in 5o years time!

623, you should have dated a bird with a "smashing pair of baps". You could have got her to wear a second bra like a money belt and filled it up with some of your favourites. Your other favourites would have been to hand above and the free chocolate would have simply been the cherry on the icing (nice buns).
Mind you, if she asked if you would like a Big Purple One you could have told her you were well stocked up in that dept.
Milk bottles pale in comparison........
