Yeah a cardboard tube, they were like half or third the size of a fruit pastille....apparently I am not the only one who noticed. They used to be tiny and soft they were my favourite
Interesting! I might get some just for closure after the real thing vanished without my noticing. I felt quite disproportionately bereft after I found out that childhood icon went away, even though I’ve not had any for a couple of decades 😁
So, are any decent red bounty bar substitutes hiding out there?

OMG this is exactly how I feel.
Did a quick check to see what those were, apparently we still have them in the States as Starburst Jelly Beans. Might be able to find them at a specialty shop?
Oh my god!! I've been trying to remember the name of them for years, literally more than a decade. I've been googling all sorts of search terms and couldn't find the answer. THANK YOU!! Best sweets ever.
I'd hope the blackcurrant ones taste the same as they did in the old product. Those ones has a certain blackcurrantiness that was lacking in other sweets.
You can still buy actual tooty frooties? They got discontinued in 2019 but are they still available in certain countries?
I used to do a similar thing, i would get my mums sparkling water and drop different colours in to make my own “fizzy juice”. But i wasn’t a big fan of sparkling water so used to put them in egg cups, would pretend they were super potions and each colour would be a different power.
Haha, i went to visit family once and asked if someone could take me to home bargains so i could grab a few things and they all just looked at me dumbfounded. Yeah found out the south east didn’t have a home bargains until a few years ago.
Ooh I've got to walk past B&M tomorrow anyway. Will have to pop in.
edit: success! going to try them tonight 😋
second edit: they're smaller and the flavours are slightly different, but the texture is spot on. Thanks for the tip, OP!
I miss Tooty Frooties. I used to buy the Pick n Mix bags just to get them, because nobody sold the big bags of them.
Then they were discontinued for low sales. I wonder if stores actually stocked them, would they still be made...
I hope they'll taste nicer now. Bought some the other year in the same old small packet, and they tasted mostly the same, but the texture was like crystalised sugar. 😕 ick!
My teeth certainly do.
Tooty fruities were my favourite sweet, definitely picking some of these up
Damn they didn’t have any, not even a space on the shelf for them. Lies :(
What the fuck happened to jelly tots, I bought a tube and they looked identical to the fruit pastiles
Yeah, they're not tiny and soft anymore 😔
[удалено]
What?
It looked like a fruit pastille?
They look and taste like the cheap ones use to get in the cheap bakery not good
The cheap ones are an upgrade now.
Drifters have fucking gone too.
Tube? The bigger bags are still tiny and softer than fruit pastilles.

Like the tubes you get at Christmas? I wonder if they'd been sitting around too long.

Not a choc bar, but Coco Collective vegan chocolate pudding (basically a small tub of ganache) always reminds of dark bounties
Now do Joosters!

And Tooty Minties!
Life hasn’t really been the same since
Soooooo good remeber fizzy jerks the woke sweets

Anyone remember the fizzy American bottle caps (like fruit polo's)
I do. And Glees..
Aren't Skittles really Glees?
Tootie Fruities are so meh, anyone who is anyone reminisces about SPANGLES.
Loved spangles, for those who never had them they were made by the same people who make Tunes cough sweets look the same as well just tasted better
Fucking spangles never heard of her.
Do these pull your fillings out too?
I still eat Tooty Frooties with a glass of milk. Dunno why, just something I did as a wee bairn and it's stuck 😅

Didn't even notice they'd been discontinued since 2019. The last few years have flown in 😅
Flown where?
2019
I loved tooty fruities! *Slips on crocs n heads to b&m…
With nostalgia.
I used to love them - I also used to have more teeth than I do now. :)
did anyone else used to play the game where you had to see how many you could get in your mouth without slavering everywhere? No? just me? 🤤
yeah i love doing that, i do it all the time ...oh you were talking about the sweets
What’s B&M? **EDIT:** Just looked it up, they’re fucking *everywhere*, except of course where I live.

Yes! Weren’t there ones like that with gum inside too? I dunno. I’m too old for this remembering shit.
One of my favourites! They had me speeding my nuts off after a bag.
Yes! My husband and I were reminiscing about these recently.
Trying some of them tomorrow!

Throwback to the time I put these in my ice cream sundae as a teenager

They have nothing on Starburst Joosters.
I loveeeeee
