    In process of ordering a spooky Chewb for my sisters birthday, altho not sure how full it’ll be when she eventually gets it (if she gets it at all!) – black jacks are amazing, i remember spending a lot of pocket money on them when i was younger :)

  9. Black jacks are THE original chewy sweets. I love them! I used to make a ’sandwich’ with two or three of them and try and chew them at the same time. It was really difficult, especially when you’re only young and you’re missing a few teeth. Speaking of which, I sometimes substituted them for my missing milk teeth. Teehee.

    Black jacks are such a beauty, actually love them! Plus it’s still surprisingly fun to give them to your parents and friends before you go out without telling them that they turn your mouth black! :D

    I love Black Jacks, but because of the way they colored your mouth, my mum insisted we switch to the Fruit Salads, which we did… when she was around, other wise it was Black jacks… of course she could always tell, and then it was off up to brush our teeth!

    Spent many years eating them in class, then getting caught with a black tongue and black teeth, never could lie about whether you were eating a BlackJack!
