I hate to be a sweets truther but I’m the same age as jack and I remember penny sweets from my childhood. Lots were 2p 3p etc but there were still 1p sweets to be found at my village post office pick and mix anyway

Much as I hate to defend her, I’m slightly younger than her and do remember some shops having penny sweets. Largely smaller things but stuff like Fruit salads and blackjacks were in the dodgy shop where you knew they were probably all past their date but what is there to actually go off
not a bleeping clue what a sugar mouse is though.
*waves to powershower* cross post!
Jackfruit caterpillar cake with pineapple hats anyone?
Ok, I stand corrected about the penny sweets actually costing 1 penny. Seems I went shooting my mouth off without gathering all the relevant facts and information. I’m so sorry, now please leave me alone.
It’s worked though the sweet tweets. She has had responses from blue ticks and we are all commenting on it.
Idk, I’m still not convinced it was Jack....
Pixie sticks were that for me. They were 1p and we used to buy 100 in one go. Amazing I still have all my own teef.
Oh I’d forgotten those!! Those and the candy sticks - it’s probably an indictment of Blackpool that we’d pretend the pixie sticks were drugs and the candy sticks were cigarettes (I think the actual candy cigarettes were long gone by my time but I could be mistaken).
Dammit Jack, you’ve made me nostalgic against my will!
My sister and I used to be given 6d for the collection in church. I used to get 3d change and we’d spend it on sweets.
She is THE top lesbian influencer. You are forgiven.
Loved that poem in school.
It’s ok Poca, you moderate tattle tirelessly and free of charge too. I’m sure you’re also having some exhausting top secret treatment that it’s not your place to talk about.
Why bury the award in the middle of these engagement tweets?
If you are accepting the award you should be proud of it. Otherwise, refuse it. Says to me Jack thinks it is below them, or embarrassed to be associated with it.
At least they read my previous post about it being poor not mentioning it. Jack, if you are reading please use the words monkey & tennis in your next tweet.

What you mean this isn’t her?
This is far too polite. Please tell us to duck off...
Can we bet on here? I want to bet Bore Bot man does a sweetie based bot. Loser gets a Jack cake thrown at them (I am not responsible for any real or fake black eyes).
Looks nothing like Jack!!!
Current mood of the cabal bopping to Live Forever waiting for the next chaos and trying desperately not to go OT and annoy Poca.
