    I remember going up the the camp site shop every saturday morning with my mum while she cleaned the caravans for the next arrivals and i would spend all my pocket money on Rainbow Drops! Then when i was pregnant many many years later i absolutely became addicted to them and would send my husband out at all hours to hunt some down (which was easier said than done!)Would love to see his face if i won some :-)

    Rainbow drops are like little angels from heaven. My nan would always get them for me and my brothers when a rainbow was out. She’d say they would bring us luck.

    But I love rainbow drops so much! I take them to the cinema instead of popcorn and my kids have them as a saturday treat! They remind me so much of my child hood too as my granny used to buy them for me. yum yum!

    Rainbow drops, or as they’re known in my house, Raindrow Bops, used to be my favourite sweet! It would look odd if I bought them now but I’d love a pack. :-)

    I love Rainbow Drops because they remind me of being about 8 or 9 years old and being allowed to go to the sweet shop on my own after school…I used to get Rainbow Drops because my mum didn’t like them so she wouldn’t nick them off me!

    Rainbow Drops remind me of being 10 years old and being allowed to finally go to the shop on my own on a Sunday morning to get the papers for my Dad, there was always enough change to be able to buy one bag and i used to eat them as i walked home

    Oh my I remember my girls using these as money in their play shop, each colour was a different amount. They had it all wrote down in a little book. Will have to see if its still on their shelves, even though they have now bothh grown up and left home.
    They never let their brothers play shop with them as they kept eating the “money” LOL. My girls had so many hours of fun with their rainbow drops.
    Would love to win this as we are all getting together for my grandsons first birthday and these would be great as a memory jogger for them all.
    Fab competition. Many thanks X
