if you was a sweet what would you be and why? i would be a cola bottle because i have a dark side and a light side to my personality.

Sax

I would be an Uncle Joe's Mintball, manufactured in Wigan and full of dark, mysterious goodness.

Uncle Joe's Mintballs
Keep you all aglow
Coughs, sneezes, sniffles
Watch the buggers go
Give 'em to your granny
Keep a few in hand
Suck 'em and see,
You'll agree,
They're the best in all the land.

Now I see how Hitler escaped from the bunker. He just put on a tophat and walked right out, no one any the wiser.

xxsarahxx

14:42 / 15.02.05

wow thats a good one!!

You are mistaken, it isn't Hitler. As any fule knows Uncle Joe was in fact our good wartime ally Stalin. Presumably he has donned the disguise of a top hatted capitalist and shaved his mustache to infiltrate the confectionary industry to stop their exploitation of the proletariat.

I'd be a quarter of soor plooms. Don't know about a 'plumb' taste, though.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

Ah, Uncle Joe's! I remember them from my days as a wee nipper in Wigan, but I did find a place in London that sold them a while back... hmm, have to see if it's still there...

First person to say Werther's Originals gets named and shamed in the News of the World...

Actually, with the whole Stalin thing, it occurs to me that "I'll Meet You In Poland, Baby" by Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel would be great to advertise Uncle Joe's...

"SUCK ON THIS, SQUAREHEAD!!!"

You know, I can still remember the first sweets given to me by my grandfather...

(picks up phone)
Hello? Rebekah?

Ariadne

16:53 / 15.02.05

Stoatie ... you have hitherto claimed to be from Yeovil. Which is a fair distance from Wigan.

Haus of Mystery

17:45 / 15.02.05

I would be an army of Jelly Teddies. We would rule the Kingdom of Sweets with a firm jellied fist.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

17:51 / 15.02.05

Ah, y'see, therein lies a tale- I was born in Liverpool, but my dad being a vicar and all, he kept getting moved about. Moved to Wigan when I was about 3, then when I was 6 we moved to a little village in Somerset, then when he died we moved into town (Yeovil).

In moi 'eart oi am always Yeovil
Oi belongs to the Yeovil Town
Day or night, oi'll be green and white
Whether they's up or down

Ahem. Sorry. Thought I was into football for a minute there.

Grey Area

18:26 / 15.02.05

I would be a:

Creamy. Mmm. *wink*

Mourne Kransky

19:53 / 15.02.05

I would be an Olde English Spangle. Tart, yet sweet, and full of dark treacly goodness. Just like me.

Have they just changed the name of Spangles or have they stopped making them due to a dental fatwa? Ah, now I remember that they were outlawed in the 60s for being too sexy for kids.

Spatula Clarke

20:00 / 15.02.05

They were one of the first victims in the War on Nostalgia, Xoc. Keep up!

20:33 / 15.02.05

I would be some kind of sweetie that you found at the back of one of those small shops full of end-of-line comestibibles that you'd never heard of before. I would have a name that was in English but the kind of English that looks as if the person who wrote it had only the sketchiest idea what the words meant and just picked the ones he liked. Blue Sparkle Rook Fountain Pops, or Smile Garden Angle-Joy Fronds. Disturbingly blonde children would grin from my lable. I would turn your tongue colours, contain illegal dyes that made you mildly irritable, and you would only eat a few of me before stashing me at the back of the cupboard for emergency munchie/women's period/mouth boredom use.

But your friends would steal me when you weren't looking.

Papess

21:24 / 15.02.05

A wine gum.

Or, to go with my childhood nickname, Malteser. Actually, I still get called this.

Saint Keggers

22:00 / 15.02.05

Just because they're so damn amazing!

Ender

01:49 / 16.02.05

Altoid, I am a curiosly strong, and always smell nice.

Mazarine

02:13 / 16.02.05

Out of all the candy I get people hooked on, I get people hooked on pixie stix the most. I'm sweet and sour and bright and I give people a lot of energy for a brief time, and then crash with them.

unheimlich manoeuvre

06:33 / 16.02.05

they are my sugary weakness...
sweet and awfully synthetic
like me

Psi-L is working in hell

11:52 / 16.02.05

I'd be an Apple and Custard, one half tart and fruity, the other half mellow and comforting.

Saint Keggers

16:05 / 16.02.05

Forget those other ones I said... I am so these:

xxsarahxx

19:40 / 16.02.05

they are good but
keggers: why would you be jelly bears.???
strix: why would you be a wine gum.???
temple wage in chocolate: why would you be a cola bottle.???

Papess

19:47 / 16.02.05

Because, lovely Sarah, I drink a heck of a lot of wine.

Maltesers, because my ancestry is Maltese.

Unencumbered

07:19 / 17.02.05

Damn you, Xoc. I'd be an Olde English Spangle too, because I'm old and English. I miss Spangles. They reintroduced them a few years ago to my great delight but they disappeared again very rapidly. The closest thing you can get these days is a packet of Tunes - same size and shape and they are boiled sweets, I guess, but there the similarity ends.

HCE

17:36 / 17.02.05

I'd be a wasabi peanut because I clear sinuses and go well with beer.

Jub

09:52 / 18.02.05

Stoatie, what's wrong with Werthers Originals? Are you talking about the whole Nazi connection?

Tryphena Absent

10:07 / 18.02.05

I would be a Cadbury caramel egg because I love them and they're really tasty and the caramel is yum and the chocolate is yum and I am slightly tough on the outside and stubborn but liquidy and stretchy inside. Really.

They're just my favourite atm.

xxsarahxx

19:28 / 18.02.05

kk. i just thought of another. i would also be a foamy banana because i am tall and curvy!!

Triplets

19:31 / 18.02.05

Sarah is my new, favourite poster.

I would be a jelly baby, because I am somewhat small (and sweet, allegedly).

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

06:30 / 19.02.05

Jub- there's a Nazi connection?

Haus of Mystery

17:28 / 19.02.05

There's always a nazi connection.

sTe

20:04 / 19.02.05
