And now experts from wilko have crunched the numbers to reveal an official list of the UK’s favourite pick and mix sweets.
The ‘Pick & Mix Pyramid of Perfection’, based on latest sales data and expert insight, ranks each sweet in four categories, from ‘Gold to ‘Average’ tier.
Daniel Bingham, Senior Buyer at wilko, said: “Pick & mix is an all-time favourite for so many Brits, sparking a nostalgic wave of childhood memories.
“And even today, they represent a best-seller at wilko, with adults and children alike still buying pick & mix pots in their thousands each week.
“We’re not surprised that jellybeans take top spot, with sales sky-high, with other top sellers including fizzy bubblegum bottles, cherries, and black and raspberries.”
