Lions Original Sports Mixture Gums 1 Kilo Bag

These are every bit as good as they used to be but not exactly the same. The hard gelatine has a very slightly oily texture compared to fifty years ago - but this does not in any way soften the sweet or compromise the flavour. It might have been changed to stop the gelatine from sticking to teeth as much. But these sports mixtures are the real deal and you will not be disappointed. Unfortunately this means they disappear all too quickly. I believe they have changed the black ones from a liquorice flavour - which never quite went with the fruity ones - to something that is fruity (which works better). All in all a very satisfactory purchase - but I will wait a couple of weeks before buying my next bag. I just don't trust myself near them.

A bit pricey but worth it for the smile it gave to the person as a gift

Easy to order, arrived on time and are a great chew.

I bought them for my 2 sons, 58 & 54, I am 91. My wife bought them originally when my 2 sons were youngsters to put in their stockings. unfortunately my wife passed away 2 years ago, and I keep up the "tradition" in her memory, Tedmac

Flavour

The delivery of the product was very satisfactory but I was so very disappointed when I opened the package to find the sweets (which were for a present!) were just in a plastic bag! No box, no details just a self seal plastic bag - to be truthful I was quite shocked and disappointed.

This is the real deal - can’t compare it to the insipid Maynard’s version

Lions have always made the original sports mixtures nobody can beat them that is why lions are still manufacturing them from me being a child at four for a penny to world renown today .thank you lions your the best .
