    Are we looking for 2nd place here as Lions Midget gems win. Debate over.

    Funnily enough I received a belated fathers day prezzie yesterday and it was a box of these little beauties.

    Being a bit of an expert in this field I can categorically state that fruit polo's were the bees knees for this.

    Sherbet lemons, get one with a slot in it and it was like eating a Gillette razor blade.

    At the beginning of time rowntrees did fruit pastels and fruit gums, a three penny packet and a sixpenny packet.
    The sixpenny fruit gums were extra special as they came with a dent in the back of the gum but sometimes you got a yellow one with a smooth back that seemed to last forever.

    Starburst, skittles or wine gums for me.

    Coconut bon bons, chocolate limes or sherbert lemons if I'm in a traditional sweet shop.
