Maynards Sports Mixture/Midget Gems
Anyone ever wondered why they replaced the liquorice one with blackcurrant? When they used to be by Lions the black liquorice was always my fave.
I know you still get liquorice tablets (now called gums) but its not the same

Back in the long lost days when sports mixtures were important to me, the liquorice ones were always the last to be eaten.

I'm still annoyed they replaced the lime Starburst with blackcurrant.

Liqourice was always the best and the branded ones were hard gems and not horrible jelly ones.
Doesn't matter anyway now because I can't have them because of my fillings. Last time I was chewing on a midget gem it pulled a filling out!

God, I adore midget gems. I could eat bags and bags of them. Unfortunately I love them too much, and have had to wean myself off them.

I never liked the black Midget Gems, my mum loved them though so I used to save them for her! ETA just looked up Starburst and it is now a lemon and lime hybrid. |
