  1. I love The Giant Bannana sweet as it counts towards my Five a Day…along with Apple Sours, Fruit Salads, Cherry Tang Fastics and Pear Drops!

  2. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Banana sweets are my least favourite sweet of ALL TIME! and making them giant is, frankly, just rubbing it in!

    I hate all things fake banana tasting since I had to take banana flavoured antibiotics as a kid and they made me violently ill everytime I had some! Even just thinking about it now is making me feel horrible! Ewww!

    (Don’t wish to put anyone else off buying them…I’m sure they’re lovely really…*ahem*)

    LOVE THEM, back in the 80’s when at school most of my pocket money would go on the Giant Banana, and now my 19 month old son loves them too.

    I turned 40 last year and the best thing about giant sweets is that they make me feel 5 years old again as its the same ratio of sweet to hand :O)

  9. Bananas were always my favorite at the pic n mix. They remind me of taking my daughter to the cinema. If only they had some caffeine in them I might have managed to stay awake during the disney films!
