Advantages: Tasty nostalgia

Disadvantages: Horrible for your teeth.

I have a serious rant that almost everyone I know has heard at some point: do you remember when a 10p mix had 10 sweets in it? Flying Saucers used to be a 10p mix staple, and you could get 10 for 10p if you weren't adventurous enough for the mix.

Asda Flying Saucers are 39p for a bag, which contains roughly 20 sweets. About 2p per sweet, then, which I still find outrageous. The fact that they're in the 3 bags for £1 offer has not calmed my rage any, but it does make them slightly better value.

Packaging is a standard plastic bag, and the sweets are your standard flying saucers - two discs of sturdy rice paper with sherbert on the inside. They're great for nostalgia - the rice paper sticks to the roof of your mouth and the sherbert explodes on the tongue, just like it did when you were a kid. The only problem is that now we know that eating pure sugar is something we probably shouldn't do too much of.

Om nom nom, sugary goodness. I wish they were still a penny sweet, though.

Summary: Penny sweet that now costs 2p each one. Worth it for special occasions.
