I am still at home sick and as a bargaining tool for me drinking my disgusting medicine, my friend promised to go out to buy me some strawberry bootlaces. No, I am not five years old. Bootlaces are fantastic - a brilliant piece of childhood nolstalgia. These ones were procured from Tesco, I have no idea how much they are, but my friend came back with 3 packets as they were 3 for a pound. Bargain. A quick check on Tesco tells me that they usually retail at 37p a packet. The packaging has changed from the one shown in the picture; it is now pale blue and demonstates a kangaroo skipping with a lace. Humph. This makes little sense to me - a hedgehog I ...  Read the complete review

Lots of kids sweets appeal to adults too but there are some aimed firmly at the children and these strawberry laces from Tesco are probably one such item but never the less my wife and I still enjoy them as well as our grandkids. The packaging is very attractive to kids and it is sure to get kids saying their favourite saying (I want) it has a purple cartoon monster on the front and the product name takes second place to this. The delicious smell of strawberry is very apparent as soon as the packet is opened and inside you get a load of bright red strawberry flavoured laces, the laces are usually stuck together so getting a single one out the pack ...  Read the complete review

I have tried the strawberry laces from the other supermarkets but have never got round to buying them in Tesco because they are on the 3 for £1.00 offer and there are always better things to choose. The other day though there was hardly any choice in the kids sweets section but I'd already picked 2 bags up so made this one the 3rd. They're nice but I don't think they're all that. They've got a strong strawberry smell that's a bit like the strawberry syrup that you get on your ice cream. That's about it though because the strawberry taste is proper fake and I didn't like how it got fainter and fainter the more I chewed. They take quite a bit of ...  Read the complete review

I have a sweet tooth, so anything sugary and I'll be snacking on it. I know it's bad for your teeth, but it's like re-living a bit of your long-lost childhood when opt for some old-school sweeties like strawberry laces. Tesco Strawberry laces are found amongst the other sweets and chocolate, obviously within a Tesco store as these are their own make. They don't particularly stand out with packaging that's average, but in my local Tesco these are the only strawberry laces to choose from hence why they end up in my basket every couple of weeks. These are sold in a 75g plastic bag which is purple in colour, though I'm pretty sure it used to be red. The ...  Read the complete review

Oh, my secret addiction! If there's one type of sweets that I could never resist than it would be strawberry laces; so sweet, so strawberry, so great to play with! The packing looks quite nice and is obviously designed to attract children; it's purple with a little blue 'Monster' and a small window through which you can see the laces. Don't even try to get a single lace out of the pack, they all stick together and the best is to open the pack and take all of them out. They are quite thin and really stick together (which gives you the perfect excuse to eat more than one at once). As soon as you open the pack you'll smell a quite intense ...  Read the complete review
