Tomsk · 11 Feb 2011 at 17:33

Just munched through a bag and am now on a second bag, but I'm disappointed.

They're all ROUND!! :confused:

What happend to the shapes? :mad:

You could always make them on the way out.

I'm so sorry.

They are warning you of what happens if you eat 2 bags! You go VERY round, tubby.

I love them so much but they make me instantly sick if I even smell them

Thinking about them is making me a little but sick now tbh.

Munched through a whole bag to yourself?? :eek:

Forget Wine Gums, they stick to your teeth. Try Rowntree's Randoms, they're well nice!

I bought a packet not long ago due to yet another ****ing throat infection after quitting smoking and every one in the packet was black or green, I think there was two red, one orange, two yellow and all the rest were black or green, green mostly. Now, which are the only two flavours of Wine Gums I cannot stand? Guesses on a Postcard only..

damn you've made me wish Id picked up some sweets on the way homes from work. Usually go for either wine gums, midget gems or sports mixture. Don't need to be maynards though

arknor · 11 Feb 2011 at 17:57

iceland sell there own brand packets which come in different shapes.
taste almost exactly the same as maynards aswell

I once ate 3 whole packs of polos on a dare. This turned out to be a big mistake - the girl who dared me knew something about polos that I, at the time, did not.

do they give you the poopoo ?

Eugh, for some reason they make my teeth itch when I think about eating Wine gums, my guess is they're infused with Heroin.

Were they always as squidgy as they are now? I'm sure they used to be chewier. Tried some of those double-flavour ones, blooming awful!

I'd be worried about all that hydrogenated vegetable oil :eek:

Fruit Pastilles are nicer.

I got myself a roll of all blackcurrant ones. Omnomnom.

The artificial sweetener in them has a laxative effect
