Why are the end fruit pastilles in a packet always the yellow lemon ones?
They just aren't as nice as the others

I think there is something globally wrong with juicy yellow things. In most cases where you ask somebody what their least favorite Skittle or Gummibear or something else that´s juicy is, they will say the yellow. It must be something with what they use to dye it.

On the contrary, my favourite skittles are the citrus ones. Yellow included. My least favoured flavours are usually the imitation Strawberry or Blackcurrant. On a different note, I would have to say that a universal favourite is most often the Orange one! smiley - winkeye

Green is always the nicest in any packet of sweets, closely followed by yellow. Blackcurrant indeed!! Mind you the new red fruit pastilles taste revolting now too.

Nahhh... Slug's right - blackcurrent is definitely the way forward. Personally I like everything apart from the those clear gummibears smiley - erm They just taste of rubbery goo!

Mmmm, yes blackcurrent is usually the best. I always used to like strawberry flavour sweets, especially Chewits, then suddenly about ten years ago they must all have changed the flavouring used for strawberry and they became my least favourite. Very wierd. Generally I think green tends to be a good bet too.

I have to agree that blackcurrent are the best flavour but the red ones (I think is rasberry) come a close second.
I hate Fruit Gums though because they stick to everything in you mouth and you end up having to pick the pieces out with your finger urgghh!!!

Ew yes, fruit gums are a waste. Any energy they give you is used up picking them out of your teeth. smiley - smiley
