	Any feedback welcomed, particularly as this is the first image quiz I've created. :)

	I'm clueless about them personally (I learned different names like gumdrops, lemon drops, satellite wafers...), but great quiz!

	triplet_3:	Aug 26th, 2012 at 11:12 GMT		2 points
	The word gumdrop is used in Britain as well as in the US (as a generic term for a fruit jelly sweet covered in sugar crystals), so I'll add it in as an alternative. :)

	Goody goody gumdrops!

	I've eaten loads of Jazzies before but never knew they were called that! Never seen Sweet Peanuts before though

	triplet_3:	Aug 26th, 2012 at 13:11 GMT		2 points
	You only seem to get sweet peanuts in traditional sweetshops for some reason, rather than in bags/packets in newsagents, supermarkets etc. You must try them, they're gorgeous!

	@triplet_3 - Congrats on your first image quiz. It looks great. 5 orange Gobstoppers for you.

	emmafrisbee:	Aug 26th, 2012 at 15:29 GMT		3 points
	Sweet peanuts are to die for.

	Thanks googlebird!

	If it weren't for Dumbledore and his passwords, I'd have tanked this quiz. And now I'm hungry.

	Blimey that was quick - thanks for making this an editor pick, Hejman!

	walliver:	Aug 27th, 2012 at 01:15 GMT		2 points
	I always just called it 'dolly mix' and didn't guess any further than that. Smarties also looks a bit generic. I'm another one who hasn't tried sweet peanuts. Overall, good quiz. Time to go to the shop!

	triplet_3:	Aug 27th, 2012 at 01:20 GMT		1 point
	@walliver: thanks for the feedback, I'll add in 'dolly mix' as an alternative.

	neil537:	Aug 27th, 2012 at 10:00 GMT		2 points
	maybe accept 'strawberry shrimps' or even just 'shrimps'? I can't imagine going into a sweet shop and asking for a bag of 'foam shrimps'! Good quiz though, nice to see some UK-based food stuff on here for a change!

	triplet_3:	Aug 27th, 2012 at 10:06 GMT		1 point
	@neil537: my main source called them 'foam shrimps', which is why I used that term, but I think most people know them as pink shrimps so I'll change the main answer to that. I'll add in 'strawberry shrimps' and 'shrimps' as alternatives.

	JennyMarie:	Aug 27th, 2012 at 21:33 GMT		4 points
	Brilliant quiz - it's distressing to think people ouside Britain may never get to try these! Only thing I would say is that I'd only ever heard of Jazzies as 'Jazzles', and they're sold as that a lot round my way. Could add that as an alternative?

	triplet_3:	Aug 27th, 2012 at 21:41 GMT		2 points
	@JennyMarie: thanks for the feedback, and glad you like the quiz! I'll add in 'jazzles' as alternative.

	Really great quiz, a lovely trip down memory lane. There were 2 I didn't recognise - sweet peanuts & edinburgh rock - which I mistook for marshmallows. The candy sticks I remember being packaged in cigarette style boxes, Oh how times have changed! Sporcle continues to teach me how to spell....

	lizzie1991:	Aug 29th, 2012 at 14:14 GMT		4 points
	Loved this quiz, I know it's already been said but it's nice to have a quiz for the Brits every now and then :) Just one thing, it would be nice if it was called 'British Sweets' as we never call this candy!

	triplet_3:	Aug 29th, 2012 at 19:07 GMT		7 points
	@ lizzie1991: I did consider calling it 'British Sweets' (I'm British myself, so I'm aware we don't call it candy!), but I know that this is an American site and the majority of people on here are from the US, so I thought I'd better go with a title that more people on Sporcle would recognise. Also, the quiz is intended to be a sequel to googlebird's 'Candy!!!' quiz, so I wanted the title to match.

	Great British sweets!

	Manticore:	Sep 1st, 2012 at 12:54 GMT		3 points
	Nice quiz. Could you accept "sweet cigarettes" for candy sticks? That's what they were called in my day.

	Beckkijayne:	Sep 1st, 2012 at 14:18 GMT		2 points
	I miss all of these :( great quiz though,, ahhh the memories

	Jeffhabfan:	Sep 3rd, 2012 at 03:42 GMT		3 points
	As a Canadian, I've seen most of these candy in my grandparents' candy bowls when I was younger, but I couldn't name more than one of them for the life of me.

	triplet_3:	Sep 3rd, 2012 at 12:45 GMT		3 points
	@Manticore: done. It also accepts 'candy cigarettes'.

	kekort2:	Sep 3rd, 2012 at 16:02 GMT		6 points
	As an American, I didn't know what any of these were called, but I'd like to try all of them. Might I suggest we start an annual Cross-Atlantic Candy Exchange?

	Goonergirl:	Sep 3rd, 2012 at 20:47 GMT		2 points
	I've never called them double lollipops - no wonder I couldn't get that. And the shrimps are just called....shrimps! But fab to have a quiz where I'm not starting off on the back foot :o)

	This quiz is knockin me off my diet

	RobPro:	Sep 3rd, 2012 at 23:12 GMT		2 points
	Rhubarb and Custard = Amazing! Although I used to buy midget gems by the bag full at the post office when I was a kid... They used to have them in the jars and had to get weighed out, they aren't here though :(

	wolver:	Sep 4th, 2012 at 19:33 GMT		3 points
	Some of these are absolutely delicious. Others (I'm looking at you Blackjacks) brought a shudder when I saw the picture.

	AutonomusPlebian:	Sep 6th, 2012 at 10:41 GMT		1 point
	I've always known them as Lemon Sherberts, can you accept that as an alternative

	triplet_3:	Sep 6th, 2012 at 18:10 GMT		4 points
	@AutonomusPlebian: it should already accept 'lemon sherbets' - maybe you mis-spelled 'sherbet'?

	AutonomusPlebian:	Sep 6th, 2012 at 22:51 GMT		4 points
	Yes, it would appear I did

	rierie81:	Sep 27th, 2012 at 07:36 GMT		1 point
	Noticed I didn't need the s to plural things, didn't realise gobstopper wasn't accepted without the S and I'm not sure if it's a regional thing but we call strawberry laces, strawberry bootlaces or shoelaces, perhaps accept those as alternatives.

	Fishbaa:	Jan 3rd, 2013 at 12:24 GMT		1 point
	YAY very enjoyable. Never knew double lollipops were called that!

	JenBitesPeople:	Jan 5th, 2013 at 23:30 GMT		2 points
	A couple of possible alternatives for you - mint imperials are also known as pandrops (I'm Scottish, so that's the first thing I typed in) and double lollies can also be called swizzle lollies. Good quiz!

	triplet_3:	Jan 15th, 2013 at 19:15 GMT		2 points
	I've just changed the quiz title to 'British Sweets' because on reflection, as it's a Brit-centred quiz I think it's important to reflect the British terminology involved. It's still intended to be a sequel to googlebird's excellent 'Candy!!!' quiz, though :)

	RowenaHair:	Feb 11th, 2013 at 14:12 GMT		1 point
	great quiz! its great to see a quiz thats not dredged in sickly american-isms

	funnyfavorer101:	Apr 3rd, 2013 at 01:02 GMT		1 point
	Okay, someone has to say it. Too US-centric.
