An old guy friends used to pick up all the time when we used to do PTS years ago used to have a bowl of brazil nuts on the table all the time, he would always say, help yourself lads, so most would have one to be polite. One day they went to pick him up, and there was a bowl of chocolate covered brazil nuts, as usual he told them to help themselves, one guy asked why the change after all this time. The guy replied explaining they're always chocolate covered brazils, his family keep buying them for him, but he doesn't like nuts, so he sucks the chocolate off them.!!!!Surprised

LOL, Jason.  I have a flight attendant friend who told of a charming passenger who gave her a box of expensive chocolates to share with her coworkers.  So she took them to their work area and when she opened them, he had taken a bite out of each piece.  She said she and her fellow flight attendants really had a hard time the rest of the flight not spillling any drinks on the guy. LOL

Furry sweets Lyn?? sounds like your maybe mum found them in the bottom of her coat pocket LOL

Found them Lyn,

Sweet Tobacco

We bring you this forgotten treat from yesteryear. Made by Barnetts, an old-fashioned confectioner, making sweets the traditional way, this deserves to be savoured and not rushed. Yummy sugar-coated strands of coconut dusted with chocolate powder. Just divine! And we bring you the finest quality make we can find.

not sure why I remember them as being furry, I do remember them as being soft and sqishy and very sweet, maybe the furry ones my Mum had found in her pocket Laughing

Ahhhh yessss I remember Lyn! It came in a pouch like real tobacco, and I must admit I loved it. What about sweet cigarettes, looked like a ciggie packet, but they cant call them that anymore in case they encouraged young people to smoke....as if that makes any difference LOL
