    Retro Sweets

    Nerds (sweets by Wonka)

    Remember these?

    I used to love these when I was younger. They’re no longer available in the U.K., but those of you in the U.S. may still know them well as they are still sold there. To cure my nostalgiac itch, I bought these four packs off eBay recently. They’re as tasty as I remember and still have the ability to make my face contort in ways never before thought possible.

    The Wikipedia page for Nerds gives a load of interesting facts about the sweets (remember the soft, chewy alternative called Dweebs?) – and yes, the four boxes are now empty.
