I used to be a big fan of POMM, but at some point in the mid 90s they started adding artificial sweeteners, and there's no way I'm putting that shit in my body, so I had to give them up.

Wind forward the clock, and I've no idea whether they still do that today. I know the Nutrasweet backlash has been and gone long ago so maybe they're safe now. Anyone know?

[QUOTE=loser;9684661]I have this craving for Farley's rusks: I think I must be having some sort of breakdown!

I want Ready Brek although I never ate it at home!

OK so yesterday I was craving crisps today it's sweeties...

1. A quarter of strawberry bon bons
2. A quarter of midget gems
3. A quarter of sports mix (someone else can have the black ones)
4. A quarter of cherry lips
5. A quarter of chewing nuts

I could also go some parma violets and some rhubarb and custard but they didn't make the top five!

Oo - nice idea. I'll join in with my 5:

1. Quarter of rhubarb rock
2. Quarter of pineapple chunks
3. Quarter of apple tarts
4. Quarter of millions (mixed flavours)
5. Quarter of kola kubes

It's a wonder I have any teeth left in my head at all

There aren't any, really. There's not much I don't like to eat, and those things are universal anyway.

So, you can stop posting now then - we'll just imagine a food and know you miss it.

Nothing annoys me - look up "tolerance" in the dictionary and you'll see a picture of yours truly.
