    I would love to give one of these to my son Samuel – it might actually make him stop talking for 5 minutes and give me and his dad some peace and quiet!!

    Oh wow! Do I remember these? I remember sending my dad on a hunt for these for me to all the shops in a 10 mile radius. I first tried one at my friends house(I call her a friend, although she could be rather spiteful at times) and I really wanted to get these Jawbreakers as they were so nice.
    Anyway, on that day of first trying these sweets, my friend had decided to be rather spiteful to me, and along with locking me in her bedroom for a whole hour and telling me that I was never going home again which resulted in me peeing myself (I was around 6 and absolutely busting for the toilet, and just couldn’t hold it anymore), she told me that these were called ‘Gumbly Gobstoppers’ to prevent me ever getting any of my own. Needless to say, my dad didn’t have any luck getting me any of the sweets and he also received some rather odd looks whilst asking. So you can imagine my delight when I finally discovered these sweets in a local shop on a high shelf about a month later and realised that the reason I couldn’t lay my hands on them was because we had been asking for the wrong name. I’ll never forget Jawbreakers and I also used to like the stickers that came with them, and my favourite ones were the fiery hot ones.

    I would love to win some of these because I remember my mum buying them for my brother and I. For some reason she seemed only too happy to buy them for us!???

  15. I love the layered ones, where different colours appear as you get down to the secret centre. I could make an analogy here, but presumably it’s a family site… :)
