I can't speak for anyone else, but I just do.

You were the person who made me actually post here on

.

pic n' mixes, in England anyway, are where you grab a bag and put a collection of sweets in stuff like gummy bears, m&ms, mini chocolate bars, eclairs, pear drops, jaw breakers etc and then get it weighed and pay the amount.

**Less Than Perfect** · 07-03-2009, 07:08 PM

I was?

I always kind of thought that was Dani.

Okay, so maybe they are similar things. Though we never got to have gummy bears and that, just chocolate.

Never heard of our pic n mixes?

OHH!

I get it now. I thought i was some peanut chocolate bar

It's soo expensive to pick and mix so I just buy a bag of mixed lollies from Woolies for $3

scabbyabby · 07-03-2009, 07:11 PM

Yep you were Holden.

I signed up so I can do all that fanfic OP stuff to send to you, I was just going to lurk forever but I was curious to see how old some of the stuff was.

Why Dani?

But, no it wasn't Dani, it was you who gave me the nudge to post.

**Less Than Perfect** · 07-03-2009, 07:13 PM

You guys have it better.

Ooh, are they all called Woolworths there, Liss? Cause only now are all the Safeways changing their names.

Oh, well that is awesome!

Cause you seemed to know each other before you came to FF?

amble · 07-03-2009, 07:14 PM

We don't have a Woolworths to get pic n mix from anymore

stupid financial crisis thingymajig

sneakernight♥ · 07-03-2009, 07:15 PM

Yup, Woolworths

I've always wondered why it was called Safeway down your way

scabbyabby · 07-03-2009, 07:15 PM

I love how they have given info based on weight, size and munching time.

I used to carefully calculate the worth of sweets when filling my bag. Light stuff so you got more for you money with a handful of heavy long lasting sweets.

**Less Than Perfect** · 07-03-2009, 07:17 PM

Apparently they're the same company, but no idea why they have different names.

That's what I would do.

amble · 07-03-2009, 07:18 PM

I once spent a fiver on pic n mix and wasted most of it

**Less Than Perfect** · 07-03-2009, 07:19 PM

A fiver?

scabbyabby · 07-03-2009, 07:19 PM

Amber I am disappointed.

Five pounds Holden,

sneakernight♥ · 07-03-2009, 07:21 PM

So for all us in the metric system.. How much is a 'fiver'

amble · 07-03-2009, 07:22 PM

Why, cos I didn't eat it all?

Sorry for confusing you Holden

Abby, answer Liss' question
