I have just been to Makro and bought some kiddies sweets lol!

Bananas and shrimps aint what they used to be. They are much smaller and dont seem to have that colouring in that they used to have as a kid. and Yes i bought the original barrats ones.
The shrimps used to be bright pink and about twice the size now they look like a sickly type of pink mauve lol!


Waste of money and taste more of saccharin than sugar lol!

Unfortunately they are trying to get rid of all the additives out of all these sweets and make the ingredients natural, so they don't taste nearly as nice!
