Advantages: Sweet, tasty, satisfying

Disadvantages: Pricey?

Mmmmmmmmmmm Percy Pig soft gum sweets, by none other than Marks and Spencer, are one of my all time favourite sweets. I first discovered these confectionary gems when an M & S opened up in my local service station, and I happened to wander in there for some milk. Fatal error, as I am now an official addict of these deliciously juicy and fruity chewy sweets.


~What are Percy Pig Sweets?~
----------------------------------------

Percy Pig are a variety of soft, gummy sweets that are made from real fruit juice. Appearance-wise, they are a pale/opaque pink piggy face with deeper, clear pink ears. They look appetising because they arent fussy or artificially looking.

These sweets are made with no artificial colours or flavourings, and contain real fruit juice. As a result, they are satisfyingly fruity, with a tangy berry like taste. I think they have a taste not unlike strawberry and cherry combined (weird since neither are included in the contents!). Yum yum. When you bite into them, they are pleasantly chewy, but soft too. They arent tough like wine gums or midget gems. I would say they are suitable for kiddies aged 3 and upwards who are adept at chewing, as they do involve a bit of jaw action!

If I had to describe these sweets in one word, it would be MOUTHWATERING. They are incredibly morerish, and a standard 170g bag can be polished off in one sitting in my home!!!


~Price~
-----------

The packs come in various sizes from M and S stores, and BP service stations allied to M and S. My 170g bag cost me about £1.60, which is steep, but I must have paid a premium in a BP station! Shop around and sample them is the best thing to do I think.


~Ingrediants~
