nah my seasons best is mid 800g's,its quite difficult to hang around that aisle fisting a cup of sweets to within an inch of its life without the staff looking disgusted with you!

I wouldn't touch pic n mix. I've seen toddlers get sweets out then their mums tell them to put them back. Prob just been picking their bum first too :-(

If you want to save even more bring a mallet like I do and smash the sweets on the checkout counter. Don't go to the Birmingham wilko though the staff are extremely rude and impolite, apparently trying to be savvy with my money means I have to leave the store. For some reason using a mallet is unacceptable behaviour, I just think the fat lady at the checkout was jealous i got 4000 marshmallows in one cup.

If you layer the sweets with some strategic planning and a little brute force you can get a lot into the cups.

Bargain! Will fill up on choccy eggs

Finally!

Love these half price :smiley: thanks OP

Are they all gelatin?

Fudge!!!

Here's a hint - the bags work out cheaper than filling up a cup. Fill up a cup then empty it into a bag and weight it and enjoy the savings.

Don't forget to put something small/solid in there like smarties every so often to fill in gaps!

been waiting Aaaages for this! live life on the edge I do!!

I haven't experimented in depth but I might have to try the "dense sweets" hypothesis of cup cramming and hope security don't throw me out! :smile:

Oh dear. At least I can spend some Love2Shop vouchers.

Anyone managed 1kg in a large cup? (No elastic bands and/or cellotape allowed).

Great deal,im off later to fill me cup and my mouth!

Depends on the weight of your preferred sweetie!

Sugar tax!!! Hot. Cheers OP.

I'm off to go and get me some diabetes...


But seriously this is hot and I'm craving sweets all of a sudden.

Lets hope they have the halloween specials in!!

Yes! This had made my day (sad I know) ... Thanks OP!!

I wouldn't touch pic n mix. I've seen toddlers get sweets out then their mums tell them to put them back. Prob just been picking their bum first too :-(

Great deal,

Have some heat :smile::D:D

Oh dear, those fizzy cola dummies they sell are going to get a good purchasing. As well as everything else!

Yay loved this last year :-)

You know its a slow day when this gets into the top 5 deals of the day... lol

i remember woolworths pick and mix and they had cadburys roses..... caramel kegs all the way!

E coli and diabetes....great! I have not bought pik n mix since seeing a snotty nosed kid wipe his nose with his hand and then pick out sweets with the same hand.............ugh

I filled 4 bags the other day and they came to just under £4 so I poured them into a cup and added more weighed it again and it came to £6.30, so the cups can work out better, just don't add marshmallows, that's a waste.

Sweet deal

A great deal, a perfect treat for a cinema trip....

A great deal, a perfect treat for a cinema trip....

I no longer think this is a hot deal. Thanks you two, no more pick and mix for me ...

Not very hygienic, I will pass on this.

my best was 886g inc cup. Might have to treat myself over the weekend :smiley: even thought i still have 1KG of sweets from the mars cinema offers. Who cares about hygiene and diabetes gotta die from something :wink: But jokes aside always a good deal, much more reasonable price.

I thought they had been on offer for a while as I gone in today just for the pick and mix and it was on offer.. if your putting in the big sweets its best to put smarties in after to fill in the gaps lol . get your moneys worth!

Maybe it was when you looked like you were going to start filling up her bra's second cup that the fat lady decided to draw the line?

is this deal nationwide?

A rubber band is essential to keep the lid on if you cram it in, as a previous poster mentioned. Never leave home without one!

Having seen customers using their hands in the Watford store, even at this price, I'll steer clear thanks.

Super, I think 2 regular cups are better value than the large cup though. There are some nice sweets with chocolate and crunchy balls, I think fudge.

Nice loads of kids snot and germs in a pot yummy

Weight is irrelevant it's sold on size of cup.

can i bring my own cup?

thanks for letting us know looking forward to get some nice pick n mix and why dont u just take the scoop and take the sweets out of the back

So disgustingly unhygienic! So many people put their hands in. I used to work for them and have been put off pick n mix for life. Just buy the prefilled bags.

790g here. To get mid 800's would require some melted sweets I think!

So, what holds more sweets, 2 regular cups or 1 xl cup?

think of the people from Norfolk, this is one of their only chances to make use of their webbed hands

Funny enough, I went in to Wilkinsons the other day thinking that the offer might be on for half term but obviously missed it by a day.

After you overfill them, squeeze them in with another cup and then right after placing the lid on turn it upside down and shake down (once) to shift them all to the lid (make sure this is held in your palm), as they expand up in the upside down cup where a gap is, there will be little pressure on the lid risking it popping off. Turn it the right way up in the queue and marvel at your weighty beast full of contents staying within their boundaries.

Always reminds me of Woolworths

Last time I got low 900s, but can't remember what I put in there. Definitely had some strawberrys, choc eggs, choc raisins and couple of different bits. Shock it about abit and fisted it and used a couple of lids so it's got abit more strength to hold it together:)

Love this stuff

:confused::confused:

Ever been in Wilkos & a tannoy announces, "Code 17, Aisle 4"?

That must be for the the supervisor to catch the mallet sweet smashing cup fisters contaminating the pick'n'mix. Or just to let security know the local scrote is robbing a years supply of air freshener.

Either way the tannoy always makes me chuckle. Off there tomorrow for a sweet challenge. Big cup vs 2 smaller cups, hmmmm :man:

Double lid the cups for extra structural integrity! :wink:

hahaha!!! HUKD people crack me up

aaaaw man, now I really want sweets. heat added

All about the cup punching!

hmm i dont we have wilko in wakefield just wilkinsons DIY store

Sweet. is there a sugar tax on ?

ergh i seen kids that have dirty hands licking the sweets and then putting it back... if you are going to buy the pic n mix make sure your sweets dont have any green balls on them, they are usually mucas.

That's where the mums stuff all the half eaten, dropped fluffy ones. :-)

Can't beat the half price pick and mix every half term

875g in large cup today!!!

super hot

Got a bag, weighed to 2.35 at 40p per 100f.
Went to till she said, oh these are half price and she charged me 1.15 :-)

785g in a large cup today. Back again tomorrow. Stuffed.:wink:

We took the kids yesterday.
It did not say that the sweets were half price, so we got 1 large cup just in case.
When it went through the til it came up at half price.

We crammed it full of sweets and it weighs in at whopping 1640g.
Kids were so pleased!!!

Thanks OP

933g with a bit of room to spare. (Was fuller, but I ate some...lol)

Depends what you get. I filled mind to 800g and it was nearly exploding. I don't get many jellies though

Just managed to fist in 841g of sugary goodness into the extra large cup.
Boom.

800g in a XL cup nom nom

All the kids getting a candy King white mouse for xmas. Courtesy of Father Christmas.

The xl cups are smaller than they used to be in my local. They are no longer labelled as Candy King, but instead as "Wilko pick & Mix", as in the OP's picture. Although unlike the picture, you wouldn't be allowed to buy a cup if it was overflowing like that.

So worth it! ~780g for just £1.95 is a bargain.

Is this offer still open tomorrow or is tomorrow when it finishes? Sorry if this seems a stupid question.

is on tomorrow

just got 900grams in a extra large cup lol
