Lions Sports Mixture Sweets - 500 grams

Bought for my husband at the end of 2016 as he has always raved about these sweets from his childhood, bemoaning those of the same name that came after for their different flavours.I don't like sweets like this myself but the recipient was delighted, picking out his favourites took him right back to happy years, mates and the sweetshops of childhood.It seems these are what they claim to be, Sports Mixture sweets with original flavours. If you have a similarly nostalgic friend or family member this bag gives them a great opportunity to relive those flavours. If you have younger children to treat, a couple of these sweets will show them that there was a world before Haribo etc. (Nothing against Haribo - I love 'Tang fastics')I can't recall the pack sizes available but if I buy again, and if possible, I would order half the quantity or look to split the contents into at least 2 gifts. 500g is a huge amount of Sports Mixture!!!

No cricket bat no tennis racket, no rugby ball from my .school days as i remember.

These are the best gum sweets ever only eat lions

I’ve had Sports Mixtures many times over the years and these are hard and dull in colour. Most likely to be old stock. Not very pleasant to eat at all. My mouth gets sore because of the texture.

I used to buy these as a child. Lyon’s are the regional maker though Maynard’s do them as well. This purchase has seen a change in the quality and taste. I will not be buying them again

Sweets are sweets. Love Lion's gums. Great!!

Sweets just in a clear plastic bag. Couldn’t put that in as a gift. Sweets ok. Just a bit disappointed.

No one can beat lions for their sports mixture others try but nothing compares to lions a national . institution for lions sports mixtures.from generation to generation simply the best made sweets sports from Lions. P A Draper
