Last time I was in Sweden, I unwittingly bought a packet of these at Vasteras railway station, unaware of the inedible horror that lay within… FFS, they ought to be banned under some UN directive or something

A summer treat for me as a nipper was a Screwball, loved the bubblegum at the bottom
It consists of ice cream inside a conical plastic cup with a gumball at the bottom - bizarre but I think they are still around

By a strange coincidence I have just started a petition on this very subject. My idea is to simplify the snack’s name from Gott & Blandat to just Gott. Importantly, this wouldn’t erase Blandat’s identity—it would still be recognized as a distinct and proud part of Gott. This change is about creating a unified and stronger identity for the snack as a whole.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this, whether you agree or not

A pennies worth of sports mixtures or midget gems in a paper bag... No black ones though, tasted like coal. Local shopkeeper would take them out

Yes the old fashioned shopkeepers, I used one on Commercial Square Haywards Heath can't remember the name but floorboards, tiny shop, lines of jars of goodies. Liquorice shelves but a haven of memoriesA pennies worth of sports mixtures or midget gems in a paper bag... No black ones though, tasted like coal. Local shopkeeper would take them out

Back in the day at Sea Scout summer camp, me and a mate put half eaten spangles on the eye lids of the other kids sleeping in the tent. So funny when they woke up in the morning.
