4 kg Swizzles sweet bucket at Tesco

I saw these in my local Tesco the other day, 4kg buckets of Swizzles sweets( drumstick lollies, parma violets etc) they were half price £9.99 from £19.99.
I always get my kids some sweets at xmas so I bought a couple of these for them. Carrying them home was fun, not. Now I just have to find somewhere to hide them!

    I loved parma violets. I also thought these buckets would be usefull for Halloween plus my little boys birthday is coming in so will be handy to top up gift bags!

    Thanks for that - we looked at them in Costco and decided not to buy as they were £14.99, but at £9.99 it will be worth it.

  • This is just the sort of junk food that is killing our kids and making them obese. Some people have no sense.

    I suspect the parents will be feeding their children proper meals in between the sweets. :D
  • let's hope you have a good dentist after 8kg of sweets! :laugh:
