End of the world. Run for the hills. What is the world coming to.
You may need to re-evaluate your sense of perspective dear.

I buy these when they are on offer. My record is about 850g in the big cup, I am a bit of a fudge packer though

Update. I broke my record! 920g of jelly beans £2

Good... Less kids to have to move out of the way.

It’s a good deal as it is 1/2 price but there’s 2 issues I have with these and are as follows

1. A lot of the sweets seem hard and stale, so how long have the sweets been in there section for?

2. You get people just picking the sweets up with there hands without using the scoop, no hygiene standards and also, do these pic n mix machines get cleaned?

You can call me fussy but I think these machines wouldn’t get 1* for hygiene standards.

Im waiting for the negative comments

Ok, 1/2 price what? What are the normal prices!

Piles of cheap, sugary sweets which lots of people have pawed and sneezed over - why??????

We do not need this kind of negativity when we are trying to enjoy this half price sugar sensation

How many of you put your fist in to the cup to squeeze more sweets in?

Great, thanks. The kids can't wait to get theirs...


Kidding. Heat added.

Just very unhygienic. Only trust sweet shops who get them off the shelves with gloves and scoops </3

What sort of feral area are you living in where the locals freely rummage through the pick and mix with their bare hands?

How much per 100g are these sweets usually? And do they do them per Cup etc?

I see kids all the time touching hands inside and mixing sweets around. Not hygienic at all!

Wilko is the same as Woolworths but better. At least Wilko has changed with the times which Woolies never did.

Reading is Key. It starts 27th.

Is it bad that I waited for wilko to open today to get these?

The selection seems to have widened but the quality has certainly gone down. Still going to buy a large cup though.

I’ve never heard of anyone getting Ill or dying from pic’n’mix so I’m sure if you just man up then you’ll be completely fine
