mmmmmm pixie stix

mmmmm... pixie sticks...

I cant believe that there are people in this world who dont know what pixie sticks are... Some of my fondest memories are of going to chucky cheeze, winning like 500 tickets playing skee-ball and spending the whole lot on pixie sticks. Ahh... good times

Did anyone ever have that unfortunate occurance of 'moisting' the pixie stix powder to a degree where it sticks togethre and is impossible to get out of the little tube. I learnt a valuble lesson from doing that several times- never sucks a pixie stix, always empty it into your mouth.


Oh, and what are those little exploading things called? They'r like little granules of sugar-stuff, which crackle in your mouth. I use to love them!

Yep, with the plastic variety. It made them last longer I guess but it just got messy after a while.

Fizz Whizz. 10p a packet, could only ever get the red (strawberry)one. Probly more than 10p if its still around at all. You get those ones these days that have a 'foot' lolly in them as well (but they are not the same as Fizz Whizz, and the lolly makes it less messy. If you were really lucky the bits of Fizz Whizz would still be stuck to your jumper the day after.

yes never lick pixie stix it gets quite frustrating after awhile.....and i like pop rocks...ive never heard of "fizz whizz"
sounds interesting though.......

[Haze]

I've never heard of pop rocks, but i imagine its the same thing. As Aoife is from England too, I imagined that she might've meant fizz whizz, but being a few years older than her im not quite sure, it might've been something different.

[jusplainfencing]

yes its probably the same thing little rocks looking things that pop in your mouth or when they get wet....very fun to feed to your dogs.....

[Aoife]

Yes, Fizz Wizz! That's what is it!. I think I've seen it called 'space rocks' or something like that as well.

And Willy Wonka Exploader bars have have in!!!!

[Haze]

Yeah, those random purple not-quite-chocolate bars with green bits in They are quite nice but you dont really get the "explosions" in the same way as if they were on their own.

As an aside, how do you feel about kinder chocolate? I spent years wasting(?) my money on kinder eggs, and have bags and shelves full of the models still in my parents' house to prove it, before I found they were selling those little bars of the stuff at wooleys. More recently they have been advertised on TV and they have started selling them in other places too. Now I /really/ like those...

Kinder bars from Safeways got my through 3 weeks of study for exams (that and lots of coke and a chicken and avocado baguette for lunch....)

[Iwant2bafencer]

I absolutly love kinder eggs. Unfortunatly I can only get them when someone over seas has the heart to send them My brother sent me a giant kinder egg for Christmas year before last. Though, it didn't last to long Hopefully if they are starting to sell them more over there as you say, they might come out here!

Zelda that sounds like a, er... healthy diet... The baguette doesnt really make up for the coke and chocolate. Being as it was in exams I will forgive you. Was always mini eggs during my exams as they were in the machine in the common room, with 50% extra free quite often.


WannaB - They dont have kinder eggs / chocolate in the states??? How do you cope?????

In my part of the world the rocks the explode are called "Pop Rocks" and there is a urban legend that if you eat pop rocks and immediately drink a soft drink your stomach will explode. It of course not true but funny to still here ppl talking about it like it was. And the only one i have ever seen were the red ones also. Those things are darn good though!!

[jusplainfencing]

haha pop rocks and soda pop havent heard that one in a while.....
wasnt that part of the movie urban legends?....

Haze, dont worry, I still ate dinner (generally a salad) but I had a tendency to study from 9pm to 6am then sleep till 8 and then either grab b/fast just as the dining room closed or skipped it and have a huge lunch. I then ususally went back to sleep until about 3pm, watched watercolour challenge (I miss that show) and studied for a couple more hours before dinner and either training or extra curricular stuff (gossip, dance class, singing).

[Iwant2bafencer]

No Haze they don't, and it's very hard to cope with especially now that all of you mention it.

Heh. Watercolour Challenge. Quality daytime viewing. Actually a superior quality to most of the daytime viewing on terrestrial channels. I mean, they put Neighbours on after all. And Home and Away. Sunset beach used to be good though on C5, not sure if it's still on now. Hours of fun trying to work out whose baby it was. Last time I watched, it was the mother's daughter's husbands... and it only got worse from there on in...


I think this shows a problem that I am so heavily involved in a thread about sweets. I read on a manufacturer's web site that on average a person consumes 16 Kg of sweets in a year.

I mean, I only weigh about 46 Kg! (= 7 St 3 lb = 101 lbs) I suspect therefore that I have never quite reached that figure, even in times of coursework and exam stress...!
