The kind of sweet you forget you love
There's something about Squashies that bypasses all your adult sensibilities. You're not buying them to impress anyone. You buy them, eat half the bag before you've even sat down properly, and then feel mildly guilty about it. The sour apple and cherry combo is the one to go for, personally. The cherry is soft and jammy, the apple has that artificial sharpness that somehow still hits right. Not sophisticated. Spot on anyway.
At 64p for 140g, this is genuinely one of those prices where you stop scrolling. The HotUKDeals community gave it 932 degrees of heat, which for a bag of sweets is... a lot. Subscribe and Save brings it down to 60p, which is borderline silly money.
Who this is actually for
Look, if you're after artisan confectionery or something with actual fruit in it, move along. This is for people who grew up on pick-and-mix from Woolworths and still get a little nostalgic about it. It's also quietly brilliant if you've got kids around and want to avoid spending proper money on a treat bag.
My one honest reservation: the bag is 140g, which sounds decent, but Squashies are light and airy, so it goes faster than you think. You will eat the lot in one sitting if you're not careful. Consider yourself warned.
The S&S angle
If you already buy Squashies with any regularity (no judgement), setting up a Subscribe and Save at 60p is a no-brainer. Stock tends to move quickly on these community-flagged deals, so don't sit on it too long.
