Had a GP appointment, bought a few cheat snacks from QuidLand or W/E its called.

At the till:

'Could I interest you in a bag of Opal Fruits for £1?'

'No thanks ... *Does a double take, does a triple think* ...

'WAIT, WHAT? OPAL FRUITS? WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN? ARE THEY OPAL FRUITS AGAIN? WHEN DID THEY CHANGE BACK? OK GIBE ME ONE NAOW!!!'.

So I thought they were obviously fake after getting them home? Says they're made by Wriggleys on the pack. Not eaten any yet though.

So it happened last year, they were meant to be a limited run, but they still have them.

Original flavours too, I ate a bag of £1 Aero combos that had chocolate and popcorn already though.

Not been to PoundPalace since the start of the lockdown until today.

Just very old stock... check the sell-by date.

Just checked, 06/22. Seems fine.

They're chilling in the fridge, I ate enough Aero popcorn crap to make my belly hurt and dont want anymore sugar for a whole week now.

QuidShop was always where I went for my sweet stuff.

Well I couldn't wait to sample one of each flavour ... Theres no blackcurrent but I swear they taste a lot better than Starburst do.

OMG APPLE GREEN WHICH USED TO BE MY FAVOURITE, ITS EXACTLY HOW I REMEMBER IT OMGOMGOMGOMG!

I loved the apple, banana, strawberry...

I swear one of the yellow chews used to be banana, but I've never been able to find it again.
