I loved these as a kid, i was cheeky and always tried spelling out rude words with them 🙂
I loved the alphabet sweets that’s how my mum taught me to spell lol
Better than Scrabble – no points system, an alphabet free-for-all! 😛
This, my mum said, was a great way of teaching me the alphabet. I would spell out a word, and if I got it right I’d be able to eat it. Apparently I’d mix up the ‘m’s with the ‘w’s. This’ll certainly bring back memories!
Amazing
Lovely

Awesome
Brilliant
Exciting
Tasty
Alphabet letters are the most AMAZING sweets ever! They are so LOVELY that I always line up my spellings PERFECTly so they look AWESOME. But they taste so BRILLIANT that my words soon disappear and it’s EXCITING to gobble up the amazingly TASTY treats!
It was all about making rude words with these, and leaving them spelt out on the kitchen table and trying to get my sister in trouble for it, naughty me!!!
Ooh this could be interesting learning for my 5 year old little girl!
Oh wow, remember trying to spell my name all the time with these but was always a letter short, and they were just so tasty
yummy! I wouldn’t be spelling too many words out with these, I would be too busy scoffing them!

Mouth wateringly good! Educational and scrummy at the same time. I don’t think they would be any good for teaching spelling to my class though…there would always be letters missing from me not be able to help myself from munching away on them half way through the lesson 🙂
Mmmm – making me drool!
Yumm.
Fabulous prize me and my daughter would have hours of fun. And would also be very full yummy yummy
I was always very grateful having a longer name when it came time to buy sweeties – it meant more alphabet letters!
Love these sweets 🙂 hate it when you run out of the letters to spell your name
I think these sweets were responsible for at least two of my childhood fillings. I haven’t had any of them in years, but if I win them, I promise to brush and floss after eating them all.
I’d forgotten about these sweets!!!
Mmmm, can see me eating my words 😉
heheheh cheesy i know
My boyfriend won’t eat sweets any more,
they make him fat and give him moobs.
But i don’t care i’ll eat them all
So thank-you all at Chewbz!!!
These little cuties were sweet. I used them to spell out my name, that’s when I wasn’t scribbling it down over and over in my notebooks. Think that’s where my O.C.D. started 😉
My mum used these to teach me to spell, although there was always a fight between me and my brother for the letters our names shared.
These take me back a few years.Would be great for the grandchildren.
Before the days of Healthy Eating in schools, I used to give these as a treat/reward to the children in my class. They loved the extra challenge of choosing the correct letter for one of our words of the week.
Never knew an alphabet could taste so yummy till i tried these. wow wow wow next challenge for my hubby is to see if he can make every word in the dictionary with these letters haha doubt it very much but well worth a try xx
love these, reminds me of being so much younger than I am today!
My chickens say hello!
I used to love these sweets – would always spell my name out or eat them in alphabetical order!!! Used to do the smae with Alphabetti Spaghetti and this alphabet shapes potato thingies you used to get (and can still get!) yes more happy childhood memories – amazing what sweeties can do!
i looooved these. i used to line them up alphabetically then eat them in order. if i has 3 ‘A’s they would go in together. gone all nostalgic now lol
I loved these, the white ones always tasted the best and I always liked the letter ‘I’ as it was thin and easy to crunch.
I’d love to win this. Please enter me in the draw.
i really loved these letters.We used to try and make words out of them
Y.M.C.A
Alphabet sweets are always a treat
our family agree that they taste swell
and learnedd us to spell (sort of!!)
Can they still be called retro if I still eat them?
i hope i win – if i dont can you just send me my name?
I had some of these recently. Bought from a car boot sale of all places. I hope that yours contain more vowels cos I had great difficulty making up words with one E, and all consonants. I felt like Carol Vorderman! Great fun!
Aww the memories. I use to get these they were 50p for a paper bag and then it was called a 1/4. I use to eat or the letters that werent S,A,R or H. If im honest I have brought a bag recently and still 20 years on my mum and I will have a good giggle making up words. Lets never grow up.
These magical sweets put a ‘spell’ on you
I wont lie and say I loved alphabet letters as a child, because i’ve never seen them before in my life.
But I did love alphabetti sphagetti as a child and would love the oppurtunity to try their sweeter counterparts.
I don’t remember these at all!
To be honest i wasn’t a bit fan of eating them, i just used to rearrange all the letters for hrs on end ha! Maybe i could give these to my little girl for her to do too!
Just let me win
yes please let me win
ooooooo i love these, i loveeeeee the way they crumble in your mouth!!!!
learn to spell and have a lovely treat at the same time Alphabet Letters what more could you ask for
YUMSVILLE!!!
me and my nana used to spell out funny words about my poppa and he would try to see and i would eat them quickly. lovely memories for me from these sweets as he passed away over 8 years ago now. thanks for reminding me. x
I had totally forgotten about these sweets!!! Didn’t particularly like the flavour or the texture, but for passing a few minutes of time, me and my sister would enjoy trying to make words out of them. 30 years later, I would love to introduce to my own children!
These will be brilliant for my daughter, she can hopefully spell before she goes to school, as she is only two, but loads of fun making words, brilliant
Who needs fridge magnets? Best of all you get to eat them after:-)
We used to have these with us in lectures at college – a long time ago, we meant to be learning about art history but we would be sat giggling at the rude words we could make out of them – well there was education in there somewhere!!!
yummy yummy in my tummy
I looooove these sweets! Every week when my mum goes shopping we go to the local sweet shop and buy alphabet letters 🙂 So this would be great!! XD
i would love to introduce my daughter to the fab memories that i had with these’s sweets and for her to make her own.
love them
These remind me of holidays to Wales as I would always be given a quarter of them to eat on the journey!
I love these sweets. Love spelling rude words and leaving them on my Desk. I nip over to asda every week and buy 3 packets for £1. They are not as good and tasty as the originals..Please can I have S.O.M.E of these little beauties.
Well have had an awful week and seeing these made me smile brings back memories. A sweet that helps with spelling a total winner in my eyes LOL
love these
Thanks for the great giveaway I would use these at my wedding in October I would spell out everyones names on their plates for an unusual name card as long as someone doesnt come along and eat them!
yummy!
Best. Sweets. Ever. Used to eat loads of these at uni, the papershop at the bottom of the road sold ’em by the quarter.
WOW another great sweet memory jogger. My eldest son used to use these when we sat and watched countdown. He would find the letter that Ms Vorderman pulled out and then re-arrange them into the winning word.
It was great when the end conundrum came on as we had the letters close at hand to look at! lol
He would then proceed to eat the conundrum of course.
He will be soon doing this with his own little boy, whose due at the beginning of September.
Thanks so much for the memory
Loved these sweets as a child, my children also love them now.
wow i all ways had them sweets when i was younger each sweet just one bit of them memory the sweet soft gentle taste of heaven with each jumping from one taste bud to another like the dreams we use to have when we was about 3 with the dancing stuff. just them good old days i wish they were back not all this new stuff and the way the world is better that way :’)
Loved these little sweeties – always ran out of vowels though! x
Education can be fun and scrummy in your tummy too!
Rude words on other people’s desk, a classic! mmm tasty too nom nom nom
I used to have these as a child and would love to try them again because I don’t have children I feel silly buying them although my niece would love them 🙂
These would be great to teach my daughter to spell. A little education and a treat 🙂
I used to eat these all the time now my nephews love them
If I won these I’d just spell out to my kids MINE !
See, I’m trying to diet – and failing – and loving the fact that I’m still eating naughty stuff because that’s what life is all about. If I won these, I’d spell them into words like ‘fattychops’ and ‘thunderbutt’, then take great delight in chewing them down. Sorry – might not be a twee story but there you go!
Whether celebrating or comiserating exam results these little gems would be the highlight of any party.
I just remembered that my boyfriend when I was away at Uni in the 80’s sent me a letter and used these letters for the address and covered it in clingfilm. It was very ‘sweet’ but sadly the relationship didn’t last. My love for these sugary delights however, hasn’t wained!
I remember having these, would love reunite with them!! =)
oh i used to love these can never find them anymore only the softer version just not the same!
loved these as a child
Much better for teaching the kids with than alphabet spaghetti 😉 xxx
yum – would love these! x
Amazing
Letter
Possibilities
However
Are
Better
Eaten.
Tasty!
My four year old is very stubborn and won’t let me teach him his letters. He loves sweets though so I’m sure these would be a real incentive – I wouldn’t let him eat one until he got it right!
Saying well done to my son for passing his GCSE (we can hope)
alphabet letters spell happy days and sweet taste!
i love these sweeties 🙂 Educational for kids with out even realising it as they make words and learn letters and spelling with them 😀
My Grandad used to buy these for me and my brothers when we were little, they were always 3 bags for a pound at the local market so we had one each but my mum used to go mad because we always used them to spell out horrible names to each other and see who could get the worse
oh wow i forgot about these!! i’d love to have some to share with my children!
