Who the fuck wants to eat a sweet flavoured like flowers/perfume? Not a joke.
There’s a brand of gum in Canada called Thrills that literally brands itself as tasting like soap. I believe it’s rosewater flavoured, it’s not popular.
it’s not popular
Understandable
In Australia we have Musk sticks, they are rose water flavoured, you either love them or hate them just like OP. Looks like they’re even older than Parma violets: Wikipedia page
Americans telling British people that Smarties suck ass, and the Brits thinking the Americans are crazy for not liking M&Ms.
Huh? These are Smarties. They do not suck ass.
Don’t have those in the US, but I’ve had these. Yes, they taste like soap, and I love them.
Idea for an advert.
Open on two KIDS visiting GRANNY at the nursing home. No sound but a clock ticking. The KIDS are bored.
Kid 1: sighs
Suddenly, in an explosion of light and colour, our new exciting youth-appealing mascot VIOLENT VIOLET bursts into the scene.
Violent Violet: Hey kids! Did you ever wish you could eat granny’s perfume?
Kid 1: No.
Kid 2: Fucking what? No.
Kid 1: Gross.
Violent Violet: I’ll fucking cut you.
To be developed but I think it has potential.
I absolutely love this.
Oh i love these things
I think these things are like marmite: you either love them or hate them, but there really doesn’t seem to be a middle ground. Plus, almost everyone I’ve ever met who knows these hates them, so it’s interesting for me to see people posting here about loving them (not that they aren’t welcome to, of course).
Its fantastic news for the lovers. These things appear in big tubs of sweets and they always go untouched.
I love violet flavor but these taste like soap to me
Never had these, but violet flavored gum is delicious.
Obviously I can’t say for sure, but even that somehow sounds as if it’d taste different to these crap discs
Violet jumpscare! It’s been awhile…
You meet again…
Yum. Sour chalk. You can even get in a stylish necklace.
Actually, I always the necklaces/bracelets as more like the love heart sweets (I actually quite like them). Plz don’t say they make a PV version too, that’s just wrong
Is “shit” an adjective now?
shitly
I’m someone who disagrees.
I love me some parma violets, I’ve actually got several packs of the giant ones right now. And as for who would want to eat a sweet flavoured like a flower, go ask the Turkish about rosewater flavoured Turkish Delight.
As a foreigner living in the UK, I will admit these felt weird the first time I tried them (especially when compared to Love Hearts), but they eventually grew on me. I would easily smash a packet of those right now.
OP is a weakling, defeated by a flower.
Parma Violets were created in 1946…
They’ve apparently been on sale for 80 years, so someone must like them.
A lot of people don’t like black licorice, but enough do, including me, that it’s still made and sold.
Never trust anything the British came up with during rationing.
I know. Poor people…
