They tasted like chalk. <br /><br />Yes, your children will survive without tons of foil wrapped chocolate. We don't do that much either. The egg hunts are dangerous free-for-alls, and our local one puts bottles of soda in a field for the children to race after. *shrug* I assume it is a Nebraska thing I don't comprehend not being "from here."

Ahhh, love that song, it sounds so romantic, even if too many would make you sick (kisses or tootsie rolls, take your pick.) It's true, names for sweets which are as familiar as breathing to you sound exotic or funny to us Brits. Wine gums wouldn't be allowed then? Did you have sweet cigarettes in the States when you were a kid? Little white sticks of hard candy with red ends, which yes, I did indeed pretend to smoke when I was little. They naturally got rebranded as sweet sticks, or something like that...<br />Anyway, I'm glad Danny gets to indulge at Easter same as all the other kids! We don't make much fuss of Easter - one Easter egg each, and that's our kids done. I am astonished at the lengths some people go to for Easter, with elaborate egg hunts and decorations and huge quantities of sweets and chocolate. My poor kids are clearly deprived! <br />They'll survive. xxxxCurtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-74164789852847506172014-04-16T16:43:28.488-07:002014-04-16T16:43:28.488-07:00It is a real name...because they're tiny.

People would freak out if they saw those.Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-25104450307664119112014-04-16T15:46:12.026-07:002014-04-16T15:46:12.026-07:00Your sweets have funny sounding names, Sixlets and...Your sweets have funny sounding names, Sixlets and Runts. Waiting up for a phone call to pick up my son from trip to cinema so have time to follow your weblink plus google 'Runts' as I couldn't believe that was a real name for sweets.
