I have learnt a new thing today

[sessifet]

Apparently I should not have eaten four Refreshers. The first sign was my housemates going 'You ate four Refreshers?!'

It turns out Refreshers are not at all like the chewy fruits bars in .nl, but are instead a sugar-filled sherbet powder center with a sugar-laden chewy outside. And I ate four of them. In about 90 minutes. And I was feeling perfectly fine if a little 'hee!' a bit ago. And now I've just been hit with the biggest sugar rush I have had since I was fiften and ate a kilogram bag of winegums in two hours.

Note to self: blinking is good. Do so.

Hee!

That confused me... when *I* was a kid Refreshers were these:

not whatever-you-linked-to are.

In Sweden refreshers are probably something like the Dutch ones and look like this:

Having the same name for different kinds of candy should not be allowed :)

I remember those - we used to eat refreshers and Banana Skids and these round flat lollipops that I can't find a picture of right now, when I was a kid. They were great because they only cost 1 SEK each.

Indeed, confusing...

Oh, eating a kilo of winegums is fun... Or not... I've done that and my stomach was not happy with me the day after :)
