Huz Sweets #2: Fruit Pastilles

Monday 20th March 2006

Mmm, I think I’m onto something here. You can never go wrong talking about sweets!

Fruit Pastilles, then. As I alluded to in my previous update, Fruit Pastilles are simply my favourite sweet thing of all time. And I’m not kidding: I’ve been through an entire cinema-style bag of them tonight. It’s not for nothing I have nightmares about all my teeth falling out.

Nestle have tried to liven up Fruit Pastilles by releasing special limited-edition packs, like the ‘alien’ themed ones from a few years ago with their weird flavours. They don’t need livening up, though – as the premiere jelly-based sweet covered in sugar, it’s impossible to beat them. Maynards have tried with their ‘Wine Pastilles’ and their ‘Sours’, but nothing can come close to the simple elegance of the classic Fruit Pastille.

If you get bored of eating them individually – we’re all only human – try combining opposing colours for a whole new taste explosion inside your face. Red and green work well. The only downside is that you get through them twice as fast. :(

On the plus side, the sugar rush is twice as immediate and effective. It’s like drugs, probably!

My geology teacher used to use fruit pastilles to show us how to identify different rocks and minerals – dolerite, for example, is black (or sometimes dark green) fruit pastille.

Millions are the best sweets though (www.millionssweets.co.uk)

I must protest sir! The best sweet was by far the Starburst Jooster!

Hey there. The Huz Experience would be a right pain to administer without WordPress, and would be overrun with spam for questionable knob potions without Akismet. Thanks chaps!
