The disadvantage is price - Tunes have always been a bit dear but normally lumped in with the rest of the sweeties - but fishermans friends are priced a bit differently.
The advantage is nobody ever wanted one even when offered. I also liked Imps (tiny black liquorice pellets in a small plastic box) and the black extra-stong Mentholyptus.
C's own make - Edinburgh's finest (and only?) homemade sweetie shop sell a cherry menthol of their own making which I only buy occasionally as I'm pretty much guaranteed mouth ulcers after sucking a bag of them !!
I can honestly say that I prefer cough sweets to suck over anything. Mrs Dadaist thinks that, along with my fascination for strong coffee and curry, that I have fewer taste buds or something.

I'm trying not to buy anything. I stepped on the scales whilst up north and have decided that scales in Inverness are LIARS. I hope.
Or something to do with mass and weight and gravity changes because it's so much nearer to the north pole... Ahem.But I love Hamilton's. And father-in-law, who we happen to be staying with, owns a sweet shop. Thank goodness we leave this den of temptation today. And start dieting tomorrow.
Sandra, we bought (no, actually, we stole it from grandad's shop) popping candy for the kids yesterday. I still love it. Space dust, we called it when I was a kid. And my favourite things from Hamilton's are sherbert lemons and lemon bonbons.

Note that the hidden plastic toy/coin is no longer available, no doubt for health and safety reasons.
