According to a survey conducted by M&S, the fizzy cola bottle is the UK’s favourite sweet, beating plain cola bottles at number 2 and rhubarbs and custards at number 3.
While the overall number 1 was the fizzy cola bottle, men actually voted wine gums as their favourite, cola bottles as 2nd and fizzy colas as their 3rd favourite.
The research, conducted on 4,000 people, also found that women preferred chocolate sweets to men.
The good news is that M&S is launching a new range of confectionery, which is deemed to be the first ever Pick & Mix to be completely free of artificial colours and flavours to hit UK stores.
