flying saucers are a flying saucer shaped sweet which the outside is made of what we think is a thick sugar paper and has sherbert in the middle. Although these are sweets they are not actually sweet but very sour and tangy. When you put one in your mouth onto your tongue the sugar paper on the out side begins to melt, i dont find the paper has much taste to it even though it is coloured and i assume slightly flavoured. Once the paper has began to melt you get a great big fizz of sherbert in your mouth which makes your taste buds jump up and down in a frenzy and then quickly fades away. The sherbert to me tastes fruity and sour ...  Read the complete review

mmmm, these really are delicious. They consist of sherbert incased in a coloured wafer the shape of, you guessed it, a U.F.O! Good flying saucers have more E numbers in than you can count, which makes them very good for making small children very hyper. I went on a school trip a couple of months ago, and my mother packed these wonderfull sweets, the tesco value version, for a special treat. On the third day due to a lack of sleep, i felt really down and homesick. I ate the whole packet, and was livly and happy for the rest of the trip. A bit of sugar does wonders for the soul! Most supermarkets do there own brand of these sweets, and they are a favorite with most people,  Read the complete review

These are really unique sweets/candies they usually come in assorted bright colors and are little wafer disc's filled with sour fruit powder,more commonly known as Sherbet.

Flying saucers who can forget these, I can remember back in the day when I could go to my local corner shop and buy these for a penny each and when my pocket money came this was usually what I spent it on. Nowadays these are seen as vintage sweets and so are bought in packs (Topshop do a nice big tub!). The sweets are made from rice paper which are stuck together and form a UFO shape, which is wear the name for them comes from. Inside each flying saucer is sherbet. When biting into the flying saucer you'll find at first the rice paper can be quite dry but then it will begin to dissolve in your mouth and as soon as the sherbet hits your ...  Read the complete review

I hate to admit it, but flying saucers are one of my vices. When I moved back to England when I was 13 these were the first sweets I bought, and I was so impressed, and still am to this day. These sweets are cheap, usually on offer for 3 bags for £1. They come in a wide variety of colours and consist of some rice paper stuck together to form a UFO shape and then filled with sherbet. Now the only real way to eat these it to take a bite out of one end, then tip the sherbet into your mouth! From the first bite the rice paper sticks to your tongue and is quite dry, but as soon as the sherbet hits your mouth creates saliva and all is well! My ...  Read the complete review
