Minties and they can play the game afterwards where you tear the wrapper into a long strip and see who can get the longest!

And I still call them sweets after 6 years, ain't changing now!

Freddo frogs are sold in the UK.

A bag of Twisties - know they're not sweets but we always used to receive them in our "care" packages.

And "penguin" is a stupid name for a biscuit. The ads must have b-b-b-been deeply offensive to stutterers.....

Actually they were originally based on the penguin which was invented around 30 years prior to the tim tam, Ive already had this debate with my rellies :p
Btw I do prefer the lighter crispier texture of the tim tam and ofc you cannot slam with a penguin
