... these pose a real threat to Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles, as they are not an exact equivalent. They are, however, a nice sweet treat, and well-priced. Just be careful with the shapes and colours - it can be very confusing, and no-body wants to accidentally eat a lime sweet when they wanted a raspberry one, now do they?...more

I'm such a Dooyoo addict these days... I just opened up a packet of Tesco Fruit Pastilles, and do you know the first thing I did? I took out one of every colour so that I could independently taste-test them (the things I do for you...) and write a review. Overview These fruit pastilles are of course Tesco's own brand version of the famous Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles. They're a lot cheaper (retailing at 65p for a 250g bag, as opposed to £1.24 for a 205g bag - yes, you read it right folks, a SMALLER bag - of Rowntree's). Packaging The packaging (as you can see above) is in the same tone as Rowntrees', although more subdued in ... Read the complete review

A friend kept going on and on about fruit pastilles, and although they have never been a favourite of mine, I found I begun to want some. Since we were both in the mood for them we decided to take a wander to Tesco and buy one of those share size bags by Rowntrees. Though we could not see any of these, which was quite upsetting. We were just away to leave when we spotted something that might be of interest...Tesco's own bag of fruit pastilles! On the packet there was images of the sweets. They were not round like fruit pastilles but fruit shapes instead, of all colours. We decided to give them a go and paid for them. It cost us 65p altogether, so less than 33p ...
