Don't forget to wash them before you eat them to get rid of any germs!

No way. The bogeys are the best part.

Nom nom

Yep, a friend used to work at Wilko's years ago and she always warned me off the pick and mix, saying kids always have their grubby hands in there. Have you ever seen the containers being emptied and cleaned?? Same goes for cinema popcorn apparently.

That's me, erm, the kids happy for a while...

Always choose the sweets high up where the kids can't get there hands in them

Have you got a weaker immune system than a child, I've never seen the guardian report or daily mail about children dying from every day germs.

I eat their pick and mix occasionally. I’ll have the last laugh for a few decades when my immune system keeps me going way past all the people who dodge stuff like this

I love their Pick and Mix. However, whenever this is on in my local Wilko (Lowestoft), some greedy git always empties the ‘gourmet’ jelly beans. I know they’re not like actual Gourmet jelly beans, but they’re pretty decent. Really hacks me off because I like them but can never get them in the offer!

Damn first world problems eh?!

let the cramming into cups commence

Wilkos have a strict cleaning policy with its pick n mix to be fair. They have 3 different coloured scoops, one for the morning, one for dinner and one for the afternoon, so they are monitored throughout the day. But as always, grab the sweets from the back, that's just sensible practice (edited)

Managed just over 1kg in a large cup. (mostly fudge). I presume I MUST hold the record.

can't wait, always pop down when this offer is on @RebTheRebel where did you spot this? did you see a promo instore?

All I can say my friend, is that I can't say
But I assure you it's happening!

Great. Ours is next to Cinema.

Ah yes the good old days of Woolworths complimentary nick n mix

Haven't had pick n mix since the days of woolworths and buying albums on cassette love a cola bottle though

Finally!

The term “pick n mix” has to be broken down, pick means that kids will pick every part of there body with a hole in it, while mix means that they’ll mix it up day to day, eg pick nose one day and the next pick there bum just handling the sweets!

Doesn't mean it's adhered too..

I once saw a lady in Woolwich grabbing them with her hands and a few times putting it back. I made a point of putting my cup down and gave her a disgusting look. Never been back for the pick and mix since.

You don't know if you like a sweat until you've licked it, plus if you don't like it just put it back to be eco, everyone wins.

Can confirm this is pick n mix policy across the board rather than just Wilkos. Taking sweets from the back is always safe as they stock up from the back so new sweets will always be at the back.

THERES NO PROOF OR EVIDENCE THAT THIS IS ON NATIONWIDE

Offer has been confirmed via Twitter

Got my 770g this morning at 8am. They where just putting the new pricing up.

How many times a day do you handle money?

Pick and mix are going to be clean by comparison.

I don't eat money.

Pick and mix are the least of your worries. Get yourself to wilkos and stock up!

Mmmmmmmmmm, let's take animal bones and tissue, put sugar on them and sell them to kids.

Cold.

I managed 935g today, I will get to that elusive 1kg in a cup one day

Got mine today, though typical Portsmouth store were unprepared. No large or sharing cups, only sharing lids... And no sweet bags either! Had to pay 5p extra just to get a plastic bag to put them in and had to settle for medium. Ah well. Still happy. (edited)

Don't get why people are trying to put others off from enjoying the pick n mix pretty much anything you eat has been handled like a pic n mix system and witnessing what adults do with there hands at food factories is no different. Either enjoy it or jog on, no need to give others your OCD thoughts.

Container do get emptied and cleaned. They usually do that after hours. Cinema popcorn is fine, no one puts their hands in it

Red and white mice are the best! Full tub of them
