Asda Flying Saucers

On my weekly shop I decided to treat my husband to some sweets, he has never really been one for sickly chocolate products but has always had a bit of a penchant for "kiddies" sweets. I have noticed just recently that asda have started doing a really good range of olde type sweets, that are actually produced by asda, so you get the same quality as the original but for half the price, that's when I came across the product I will now review. The product I will review are "Asda's flying saucers - sherbet filled wafers". ~~~~~~ THE PACKAGING ~~~~~~ The packaging is a plastic sleeve, sealed at both the top and bottom, ...  Read the complete review

When I recently came home from work, after a pretty stressful day, I was quite bemused to see Andrew had bought me a selection of what I can only describe as kiddies sweets from his recent trip to Asda. Amongst his offerings, which were by the way because he had been naughty the night before, were these 'Flying Saucers', a real blast from the past for me. I'll tell you why, I haven't had these in year but when I was a toddler, my Grandma used to look after me in the day time whilst my Mum went to work. We would always pick my Grandad up from the RAF base where he worked and on certain days, I was allowed to go with him to the NAAFI to pick some ...  Read the complete review

Before I begin this review I'd just like to say that I am not a sweet addict :) Although I do review a lot of sweets I rarely eat the full bag, as my younger brother generally shares them. OK that off my chest I'm ready to begin. Now taking my brother down to Asda the other day so he could choose some sweets for us to eat on the night whilst my mum was at work these were one of the bags that he choose. Now I can't say I'm that fond of flying saucers to begin with but hey I suppose that's what happens when you let someone else choose. The sweets themselves come in a 20g bag, which seems like a really small amount but because each sweet is ...  Read the complete review

I was extremely pleased to find when browsing the confectionary aisle of Asda that within Asda's 3 for £1 deal on their own brand confectionary they offer Asda Flying Saucers. A sweet treat that was a favourite of mine as a child and a treat that as an adult I have not grown out of. ***Packaging*** These come in a bright pink coloured plastic sweet bag. On the front of the packaging the images are very child like of spaceships, hinting that these are predominantly aimed towards children. On the front of the sweet bag there is a clear plastic window so you can see the flying saucers inside of the bag without having to open the bag. ...  Read the complete review

Asda do a fantastic range of sweets, where you can buy any three bags for £1, choosing from a selection which includes Daisy Cows, Milk Bottes and even Chocolate Raisins. Another option I like is the flying saucers. Flying saucers, as described on the packet, are sherbert filled wafers. They are little cirlced of coloured wafer, in white pink or green very pale shades. When you bite into them, you have to be very careful as the white sherbert can go everywhere! The wafers do not really taste of much, maybe a hit of sugary sweetness. The sherbert is quite sour but not overly so. These are quite delicous, and there is around twelve in the bag - which ...  Read the complete review
