Who the fuck wants to eat a sweet flavoured like flowers/perfume? Not a joke.

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.
4 hoursThese look just like Smarties, but all purple.
No hate for Smarties, though, but no love for them, either. They’re fine. Consistency of chalk, taste mostly like sugar. I didn’t hate getting them at Halloween.

Have you had Parma violets? They are hard, brittle sweets that taste like perfume. Also, in the UK, smarties are something else entirely
Nope, and based on this post, I plan not to, especially after my experience with Necco wafers. Those things are criminally awful. I got a pack of chocolate, and they were like epoxied sawdust flavored with the memories of chocolate long past.

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.
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.
internert tells me they’re violet flavored

Violets have been made into liqueur for ages. And it’s actually quite tasty.
Try an Aviation cocktail, or a Water Lily sometime. They’re delightful - and I’m saying that as someone who hates gin with a passion.

More eating like floral-scented dish soap in powder form.

Fried Mars bars have a lot of heavy lifting to do to make up for this one.
