Fruit salads are amazing, they go hand in hand with black jacks! I always used to buy a bag of these and black jacks from the paper shop after we had been swimming, takes me back to my childhood!
Think I may have to invest in some soon… *drools*

Fruit salads were my favourite and used to buy them 4 for 1d on the way home from school, hated Black Jacks, can anyone remember Bazooka Bubble gum, you collected the wrappers in exchange, for toys like binoculars.

I used to love Fruit Salads when I was a kid. These days I have to convince myself that they count as one of my five portions of fruit and veg. They must have some fruit content…somewhere… 😉
LOVE them!! I used to always buy them!
Loved them when I was at school, still love them now. Always make a special detour on a Wednesday to buy them from a particular shop – its the only local one I can find them in.
what a trip down memory lane these sweets are, life was so much simpilier I love them oh to be a child again !!!!

I LOVE fruit salads they are my favourite. Mmmm =]x
I love Fruit Salads…….they taste great and even the name is healthy, ok so maybe they are a sweety but i recon with a name like that they have to be good for you in some way lol!
ooooohh the fruit salad memories just come flooding back !!
These are absolutely yummy sweets and reminds me so much of my childhood.
Reminds me of those always sunny childhood days! Fruit salads were my fave choice from the white paper bag of penny sweets. Loved the chewy sticky feeling.
I love Fruit Salads, I once found a cocktail that tasted of them but alas, I can’t remember where.
I love them they remind me of my childhood.
love them , love the sharpeness followed by the sweetness, heaven
My oh has an obsession for these! would def be handy for his stocking! xxxx
Oooh I really love fruit salads too!
I LOVE These!. I remember me & my brother were given 50p a week to go to the local spar shop & choose what sweets we wanted. Back then we used to get a bar of chocolate & penny choows as well. Oh they were the days!.
aww i love fuit salad they bring back memories of walking home fromm school and calling in the corner shop for a penny mix, seeing how long you could not chew them for.
I really love fruit salad sweets! really chewy and a taste you can’t find anywhere else
I promised my Gran every week when I was a nipper that I’ll keep eating plenty of ‘fruit’ and all my ‘salads’ so I’d grow up strong and healthy and believe me I kept that promise 😉 – I’m not sure it’s what she had in mind, but I always was her little sweetie..
Not my favourite, they stick to my teeth, but my kids really love them and would ‘chewse’ them before many other chewies 🙂
These sweets are so yummy but so hard to find now!
The only salad that kids love to eat
nom nom nom mmmmmmmmmmm
Used to eat these all the time at school, 1p each and can taste them right now, mmm yummy, would love to let my kids try some 🙂
A school treat that is still with me now!
Fruit Salads were always my favourite of the penny chews but I haven’t had any in ages now, and I’ve never seen them in the packaging in the image up here, would love to be able to get my hands on some again 😀
I love Fruit Salads, they remind me of when I was much younger. My Mum always used to buy me a bag when I went on school trips as chewing them always seemed to stop my travel sickness x
Yummy! Yummy! They are delicious!
fruit salads are lovely! and so are blackjacks! mmmm
Fruit salads – lovely! Remind me of a time when I bought sweets on the way to school. There were loads for a penny!
One of my favs. used to get 4 for a penny when I was little……….Opps showing my age now
Fruit Salads – 1/2p each, and I spent all my pocket money on these bad boys. I prefered them to Black Jacks because they didn’t give you away by turning your mouth black.
Although fruit salads are extremely tastey their consistency is quite the same as black jacks…now i have no problem with this, Mick, my step dad however pinched one of my black jacks that you kindly sent and his recently filled tooth came out!! Oh dear…guess thats karma 🙂
Fruit salads are so lovely, I used to buy 5 everyday after school, the taste hasn’t changed in 20 years!
My fave sweets of all time!!
Fruit salads create an explosion of taste in my mouth like no other sweet on the market. They are fruity, delicious and extremely chewable..They taste like what I imagine a rainbow would taste like.
yum yum the good old days
Fruit salads are delicious!
Top sweets! Real filling testers…….those were the days and they used to only be 1/2p!!!!!
What do you think of Fruit Salads?
best sweets ever 🙂
ABSOLUTELY love Fruit Salads!!! x
These are the sweets that made up my “5 a day” portions of fruit. My mouth’s watering just thinking about them!
My Dad used to bring home a bag of fruit salad and black jacks as a treat for us. Long time ago now, makes me feel old!!
With the name Fruit Salads they just have to be healthy for you!!!
These are my favourite sweet ever! They are so hard to find now that whenever I see them I buy up all the packets and keep them in my car so I can always have a sweet on my way to and from work. Remind me of car journeys when I was little!
I absolutely adore fruit salads this was my favourite sweet growing up as a child and find it so hard to track them down it was the first thing i ate out of my chewbz that my mum recently ordered for me and they were gone within seconds of being opened. Whenever i think of them it makes my mouth water.
Friut Salads. I can’t think of a better name for my favourite sweets. Fruit Salads it’s genius! My mum is always telling me to eat more fruit! So when she asks me what i spend all my money on i just say i know somewhere that does great fruit salads.
hahahahaha she doesn’t have a clue!
Haven’t had a Fruit Salad in ages. Used to love them,… now I just hope my teeth will stay in while chewing.
I LOVE fruit Salads, when it was ‘sweetie day’ I’d always choose these. My sister would pick Black Jacks – what a fool, these were much better!
i absolutley adore fruit salads. They were my favourite sweet as a child growing up and still are to this day. Except i find them really hard to track down. i was mortified when i went to the orthodontist and he told me not to eat chewy sweets and i thought stuff it and headed straight down to my local newsagent to buy a bag of my favourite sweets (fruit salads) of course!!!
Amazing 🙂
Fruit Salads. I couldn’t think of a better name for my favourite sweets. Fruit Salads it’s genius! My mum is always telling me to eat more fruit, so when she asks me where all the money she is giving me is going! I just tell her I know this great place that sells Fruit Salads!
hahahahahaha she doesn’t have a clue!
Wow, I remember buying 3 for 1/2p, from Meg’s corner shop. I was in my 30s when I discovered it was actually called Garner’s. But who cares, it’s where I bought my sweets 😀
LOVE THEM
My Favourite!!!
Fruit Salads – i remember them well, they where so yummpy!
always a fully fledged member of the 10p mix!! 🙂
Love Fruit Salads!!!!!!!!!!!!
🙂
Can’t beat the old favourites. Loved these as a child in the ’60’s and they have certainly not lost their appeal with age. Not new or improved just good old fashioned flavoursome fun x
There is no better way to get your ‘5 a day’ than by having 5 of these little fruity beauties!.. I swear by it as part of my daily diet, fruit and salad in one, you can’t go wrong… 😉
Fruit salads….i remember when you used to get ‘Bounty bags’ and they came in them…used to save them for last as they were my favourite, such a simple sweet with so much FLAVOUR!!
Fruit salads ah they are just lovely ive actually been looking for these for a while but havent been able to find them.I remeber when i was a young girl and they were a penny each so when i got this big bag of fruit salads for 50p it was absolutely great lol shame they arent 1p each anymore They are the best sweets ever.
Yum, love fruit salad chews – pink and orange and tangy. We used to buy “mix-ups” as kids, and there’d always be a good handful of these in because they were so cheap.
I think Fruit salads are FAB!! They have such a sweet, uniquely delicious taste that gives you the best sugar rush. It instantly transports me back to my school days, and all the memories of sharing sweets in the playground.
Yymmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I love fruit salads,,, yummy yummy yummy!
the one thing i liked more about fruit salads over blackjacks was that you could safely show your tongue off afterwards, still one of the greatest sweets ever (mind you blackjacks were more fun cause of the tongue colour)
