Hi Monica,

I have just checked your order and you ordered 100g of Liquorice Allsorts and 100g of Original Jelly Babies both priced at £1.49 each.

Please explain what is a rip off? That is actually a very competitive price for the original brands also the price and weight are clearly shown before purchase.

Already put a Google review on but…

Already put a Google review on but can't reply to their comment, wish I looked at their reviews before ordering, most not very good, all they say is they use manufacturers and certain sweets are sold as broken, they don't advertise certain sweets as broken, by the sounds of it they don't take any responsibility of negative comments

Hi Sharon,

First of all we simply reply to reviews with facts.

You are stating every item that all items were tasteless, we dont manufacture the sweets and they are from completely different manufacture! This is not a I'm not ordering from here again, this is a they taste that everywhere you order them from as its the same manufacturer! Let me break it down;

Midget Gems - Lion (the original ones)
Nougat - The Real candy co

The photo we advertise for the fruit Torpedoes show they are broken and that is the reason they are heavily reduced in price.

The comments / reviews you state you wish you read? What about all the high reviews?

If you actually read each negative review in isolation and read the reply you will be able to see exactly the situation.

In thia specific situation you are stating the 2 sweets were tasteless and we are explaining that we dont manufacture them and they are from 2 different manufacturers - what would you like us to do exactly? You have stated we dont take negative comments which is untrue we are simply pointing out facts and that we dont make the sweets we cannot change the recipe of things we dont actually make.

I have to say

I have to say, it’s not a reflection on the company but more on the product.
The Tutti Fruity sweets are (pardon the wording) bloody awful. Rock hard, flavourless rubbish. Please stop selling these ASAP. They are literally disgusting.
The packaging the items were sent in was top notch however. Just bin the terrible products - surely you must try these before you sell them?

Hi James,

We are very sorry you dont like them, many of our customers love the tutti frutti bites its down to preference unfortunately but I understand if this isn't for you.

Ps 1 stars is harsh... 4 for the packaging at least 😬

Gummy rings

I ordered chicken feet and the large gummy rings both are incredible. Great service from a great place. Quick delivery aswell.

Quite hard and stale sweets…

Quite hard and stale sweets unfortunately. The sweets are more like a “copy” of the sweet, than what you would expect. The past it date mystery bags got thrown straight in the bin as they really were a disappointing selection that no one would choose, and very chewy and hard. The mystery bags were also stale and very chewy, the jelly’s were just terrible. However I also got a pick and mix, which was less disappointing. I guess because I chose the sweets and therefore liked the selection, however they again were very stale and not like “normal” or “original” sweets, it’s like they were bad copies of the sweets. I’m not saying it was all bad, but I’ve had much better quality sweets from online shops at the similar price elsewhere, and the quality have been much better. I don’t think I’d order again from there unfortunately.

Hi, the mystery bags are advertised as clearance bags and factory seconds and are sold as such.

The Mystery Past best before bags are completely based on personal preference! Sweets one person loves may be sweets another hates.

All of our pick & mix lines have over 1 year date before the best before date and are maximum freshness due to the speed we use the bags which sit no more than 1 week from arriving and are stored in fully sealed containers. The sweets we use are all the large manufacturers such as Haribo, Fini, Vidal, Kingsway & more.
