Mine's those fruit flavoured tablet things that you get in a round metal tin.
|
|
bet you keep them in the glovebox of your chevette
|
|
Oooh cheeky! Actually, I've got a slightly mouldering 'D' reg Granada. And there isn't a flat cap or tartan motoring blanket in sight!

Sharp's Extra Strong Mints from Maidstone.

Richmond Superkings.

Millars Pan Drops or Tesco Mint Imperials

|
If not ESM's, then Soft Mints. Anything but Lion Bars - explode all over your trousers when yr driving!

Ab-ser-lutely Rob - They only seem to sell them in petrol stations and it just seems so *right* eating them whilst driving. They never seem as enjoyable anywhere else.
Can't remember the brand name but my favourite is the tin they do which only has strawberry/blackberry/raspberry ones in.
Fantastic.

Werthers Originals (and now available in soft format!)
|
That the bloke in out local garage calls me "Mr Double-Decker" and the fact I've not got a bus probably gives it away.

Soft Werthers? Heresy!

Aren't Double Deckers fab? That gorgeous mix of crunch and chew - lovely. By God, I need to get out more!
By the way - you may scoff at chewy Werthers, but I bet they won't break half as many teeth!
Cheers guys

Ah, perhaps, but the target audience probably has a spare set of gnashers in a jar somewhere for such an eventuality.

True - I'd not thought of that! Must admit to being a heretic and preferring the chewy ones though. Hang on, does that put me in the target audience for the blasted things? Hope not - I'm only 29! :o(

Same to you!

Army and Navy Tablets - not a cause of Gulf War syndrome but aniseed based boiled things from old fashioned sweet shops. Marvellous...
And, Werthers fans, you do know that they were only invented a few years ago - all those adland coffin dodgers blathering on about "I remember my grandfather giving me my first Werthers" are lying through their (false) teeth.
|
No sweets, driving or otherwise - am I boring or what? Like Yorkie Bars though...
HF
|
Yeah, but by the time you've gnawed through one chunk you'll have crossed seven counties.
On second thoughts, it could be the ideal travelling companion. Sweetie wise of course. Natalie Imbruglia naked and covered in honey would make a far better travelling companion obviously.
Whats that nurse? Time for my tablets?
Night night everybody. Night night.

I could gnaw though all seven chunks before I even reach the end of my road.
And I'd prefer the Yorkie rather than Natalie Imbruglia, any time.
Good night RTB.

How can there be a new version of Werther's Originals ??? Wouldn't they have to be called "Werther's not original at all but quite nice and softish" ?

That was exactly my point when I first saw the advert for them, I don't think anyone has explained that one yet!
And just to put a dampner on this thread (sorry), I tend not to eat sweets while I'm driving - one accident and said sweet is lodged firmly in the throat :-(
|
I tend not to eat sweets while I'm driving...
Me neither. I find that I can't talk properly on my mobile when my gob is full of sweets ;o)
|
Yeah, DD, not a good idea to eat sweets whilst trying to put one's lippie on either.
HF
|
|
DD wears lipstick ? I dunno, all the moderators around here are weird.
|
M, get in touch, I have a lovely new shade of eye-shadow that might interest you ;)

I find there is enough rubbish in the car without sweetie wrappers!
But I must confess to filling the ashtray with butts on a long trip...
|
|
Oi!! They're NOT FOR GIRLS!!!

Pear drops!

Chewing gum. A great driving aid and headache preventer. I find it helps to keep my jaw unclenched in moments of tension, when, for example, being unzipped (as it were) in a line of traffic, or being blinded by someone's lights (as per the relevant threads as contributed to today).
And I'm not being facetious: it really does help and it's a known remedy.

Fishermans Friends... made in Fleetwood.
You can get them in most European services but rarely in UK services (!)
