B&M shoppers praise return of 2000s sweet they 'remember from school'

B&M shoppers have rushed to praise the return of a sweet that was popular among children in the 2000s.

The bargain retailer has begun selling Toxic Waste Sour Candy selection boxes for £5, and they have been a hit with customers.

Toxic Waste is a line of sour candies owned and marketed by American company Candy Dynamics Inc. It is packed in novelty drum containers, each holding sour candy that comes in five flavours.

The sweets were very popular among schoolchildren in the 2000s for their exceedingly sour taste. Challenges to see how many could be eaten at once, while not advised, were popular on playgrounds.

One B&M shopper spotted the infamous sweets at their local store, and were quick to share the news with others on the Snack News & Reviews page.

Alongside a picture of the product, they simply wrote: "B&M". Before long, dozens of Facebook users had left comments sharing their thoughts.

One reminisced: "Remember these growing up at school. No wonder my teeth are buggered and falling out."

"The way my tongue would STING after eating these," shared a second.
