Who the fuck wants to eat a sweet flavoured like flowers/perfume? Not a joke.
Idea for an advert.
Open on two KIDS visiting GRANNY at the nursing home. No sound but a clock ticking. The KIDS are bored.
Kid 1: sighs
Suddenly, in an explosion of light and colour, our new exciting youth-appealing mascot VIOLENT VIOLET bursts into the scene.
Violent Violet: Hey kids! Did you ever wish you could eat granny’s perfume?
Kid 1: No.
Kid 2: What? No.
Kid 1: Gross.
Violent Violet: I’ll fucking cut you.
To be developed but I think it has potential.
I’m someone who disagrees.
I love me some parma violets, I’ve actually got several packs of the giant ones right now. And as for who would want to eat a sweet flavoured like a flower, go ask the Turkish about rosewater flavoured Turkish Delight.
These look just like Smarties, but all purple.
No hate for Smarties, though, but no love for them, either. They’re fine. Consistency of chalk, taste mostly like sugar. I didn’t hate getting them at Halloween.
Have you had Parma violets? They are hard, brittle sweets that taste like perfume. Also, in the UK, smarties are something else entirely
Nope, and based on this post, I plan not to, especially after my experience with Necco wafers. Those things are criminally awful. I got a pack of chocolate, and they were like epoxied sawdust flavored with the memories of chocolate long past.
Rockets are better
Smarties are a great example of a solid but not great candy. I’m never mad if I am given some but don’t seek them out on my own time
Oh i love these things
I think these things are like marmite: you either love them or hate them, but there really doesn’t seem to be a middle ground. Plus, almost everyone I’ve ever met who knows these hates them, so it’s interesting for me to see people posting here about loving them (not that they aren’t welcome to, of course).
Its fantastic news for the lovers. These things appear in big tubs of sweets and they always go untouched.
OP is a weakling, defeated by a flower.
Yum. Sour chalk. You can even get in a stylish necklace.
internert tells me they’re violet flavored
like. the flower? candy taste like flower?
britain is truly a deplorable land.
candy taste like flower?
More eating like floral-scented dish soap in powder form.

We in Scotland take no responsibility for this crime against humanity.
Top username for a Scot. Well played, mate.
In Australia we have Musk sticks, they are rose water flavoured, you either love them or hate them just like OP. Looks like they’re even older than Parma violets: Wikipedia page
Americans telling British people that Smarties suck ass, and the Brits thinking the Americans are crazy for not liking M&Ms.
Don’t have those in the US, but I’ve had these. Yes, they taste like soap, and I love them.
There’s a brand of gum in Canada called Thrills that literally brands itself as tasting like soap. I believe it’s rosewater flavoured, it’s not popular.
it’s not popular
Understandable
Never had these, but violet flavored gum is delicious.
Parma Violets were created in 1946…
They’ve apparently been on sale for 80 years, so someone must like them.
A lot of people don’t like black licorice, but enough do, including me, that it’s still made and sold.
Never trust anything the British came up with during rationing.
