Squashies, Aldi and a cover up that.....
goes right to the top!!!!
I’m a fan of Squashies, the Drunstick flavoured sweet with a white side and a pink side. Now a slight mixing of the colours is ok but a real Squashie eater always first bites off the white to then finish on a tasty bit of pink.
I’ve noticed though that when you buy Squashies from a regular supermarket or petrol station they are correctly constructed. Your correct white/Pink or Pink/white.
Now when you buy them from Aldi, they are all mixed up, some even white/pink/white I can’t even describe the horror of them being mixed longitudinally and many are streaky.
This has happened multiple times so I can only presume the Swizzels Mafiosa are selling cheap production line seconds in cahoots with Aldi to con the not so savvy consumer.
I will not rest till this injustice is proven and the blood of those involved runs warm down my hands.
Dave!

A valid and valiant quest.
Although you do know that all the *perfect* ones are reserved for the monarchy?

I have never seen a non-regulation Squashie, so am very interested in your manifesto and wish to learn more.
Is it just me or can you get a hint of coconut if you eat just the white bit of a Squashie with no pink? Or is that only if you're thinking about coconut at the time?

Squashies are like Green Needle / Brainstorm

It is a bit milky coconut I think, possibly the added sweetness.Ascender wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 5:53 pm I have never seen a non-regulation Squashie, so am very interested in your manifesto and wish to learn more.

How I've missed these random ramblings on here
PS Swizzels is just down the road from me and smells amazing when you walk past.

The colour of the Bubblegum ones is enough to put me off ever trying them. Sour Cherry ones just don't sound like they would work. Rhubarb and Custard were quite good actually.
I did some work for a client whose HQ was next to a biscuit factory. That was the sweetest (no pun intended) gig rocking up there every morning, never grew tired of the smell.

I had to google Squashies. If they've got a factory shop davecG60 could be onto a profitable sideline...
