You’ve seen them, the cool kids with their fruit pastilles, or midget gems, hanging around shopping centres, thinking they know everything there is to know about confectioneries, but don’t be fooled. Those teenage idiots wouldn’t know a brilliantly balanced Jelly Baby if it bit THEM in the face.

Over in The Spoiler office, sweets flow like running water, and the hands down winner of the first Sweet of the Year competition is the Marks & Spencer FRUIT GUM - different, but similar, to the marginally more famous WINE GUM, it has a slightly less rubbery consistency, and a more extravagant fruit explosion. Key flavours involve oranges, blackberries, and what could be pineapple.

Think we got it wrong?

You’re wrong.
