M&S pick-n-mix and new bars

[oldspice]

I've been in M&S this morning and they now have a pick-n-mix section where you can fill a small (£1.99) or large (£3.99) carton with a great range of sweets such as small fruit jellies, mini Percy Pigs, chocolate balls, shrimps, dolly mixtures and some wrapped sweets such as sherbert lemons. I filled a £3.99 carton to the brim and you get loads and loads for the money.

Also, they had some new truffle bars at the till - with a mix of truffle and fondant filling!! I picked up two orange ones.

Boy I'm going to gt fat!

I'm still after their Walnut Whips.  Are they any good?

[Forth Bridges]

Please not that these Pick n mix are for flagship stores, so only about 5 in scotland

[oldspice]

what a shame!

[goldencup]

Mmmmmm Percy Pigs!  Yes the Walnut Whips are good, as long as you like Galaxy-style chocolate.  That's what they remind me of anyway.

[Forth Bridges]

what a shame!

its seems some of the local managers are not happy with this, althourgh there have been given sweets therte have been givven something called Grab n go which are box of sweets in we packet for 39pm

[oldspice]

Yes, i saw these 'grab and go' packs as weel. They're small, see-through packs of sweets like cola cubes, rhubarb and custard, jelly babies etc.

I wouldn't have considered the Peterborough branch of M&S as a 'flagship' store as I think their range is very restricted compared to branches in much bigger cities such as Leicester and Nottingham.

Hello everyone

My name is Cassandra, new to the forum. My favorites are retro sweets and I'm hoping we could exchange ideas. It was so hard to choose what to spend your pocket money on. One time, the lovely lady behind the counter never approached me, I think that she knew that the choosing process was one of the joys of buying traditional sweets. I used to stand there looking in awe at all of the options - deciding what would go into my paper bag. And then, just as I was about to commit, a different old-fashioned sweet would catch my eye and I'd change my mind again. It's great being a child in a retro sweetshop - but it makes deciding so very difficult.

I love Tom Thumb drops and used to leave the sweet shop with a big bag of them.  Oh, and sherbert flying saucers; they're not the same these days.
