It's back for Halloween. Get fisting that sugary goodness into those pots.
With skill - you can get a kilo into a large cup.
I haven't got the price list but I think it would make a regular 99p. Go large though, and pack it in. Take some tape in as well and stick the lid down to prevent it popping off and giving you away!

I got 847g last time round! Remember to layer them properly and cram knockoff Smarties and Mini Eggs and chocolate
raisins into the gaps...

I know this will go against the grain considering how hot this is rated, but to make it half-price for the half-term period is very naughty. We really shouldn't be encouraging kids to eat sugary foods like this.

£1.45 for a Large and £1.95 for an Extra Large!

I managed 800g last year, but people claimed to hit the golden kilo.

HUKD and photographic evidence go hand-in-hand - so we need proof for 1kg+ claims with this upcoming offer.
Never managed that feat myself - got a little over 900g once.
Ta OP. Voted hot.

ouch can feel my teeth hurting as we speak. always great fun working out what sweets to choose next to cram in the gaps however I fear they have spent many hours designing the sweets and cups to evade being ripped off lol

After last time I went to Wilkos the sweet sections were filled with dozens of dead flies, might have to give this a miss :-(

You're missing out, dead flies are the best thing in Wilkinsons pick n mix.

You're saying that as if it's a bad thing. Everyone with type 2 diabetes knows that added flibre reduces glucose spikes.

Shame my local Wilko doesn't offer much variety of sweets. Its a shame as the Tesco, not far from it, also has a Candy King pick n mix but has about twice as much variety.

cheers op for the reminder that this is on every half term. 840g today, thats pretty spot on average for me !! but its enough for £1.95.

Typical, only the ENGLISH half term not the Scottish one that was last week.

Some English state schools have 2 weeks half term E.g. King Edward VI Grammar school in Stratford Upon Avon.
Half term began on 17th Oct.

Pick N Mix is basically the equivalent of licking the hand rail on an escalator - and you certainly wouldn't advocate that one in a hurry.

i was in a store and saw a toddler with her hands in loads of different compartments eating some and spitting them out on the floor/ just throwing them on the floor. mother came and found her told her off and picked all sweets up and put them back in the compartments. If you could fit 10 kilo into a large cup at half price you wouldnt get me to eat any.
pack of mini eggs for me pls.

I'm so disappointed with myself. Only managed two extra large tubs with 800g in each. Must. Try. Harder. I'll get some fisting training in for next year.

Those cups are overrated and too fiddly to try and cram everything in. You can always get cheaper pick 'n' mix and Wilko using the self weighing printouts and a little inertia intervention. :man:

I remember nearly buying pic n mix once. I had spent ages choosing the perfect mix. Then some old woman came along, reached into the loose sweets with her hand and grabbed some for her cup. I put the cup down and walked away. :disappointed:

Last time I tried to get in there were about 8 people crammed in the short space cramming sweets in their large tubs,3 were overweight women should know better.

Having seen how parents and their kids are more than happy to just use their hands in the Wilko pick & mix, I think I'll steer clear...

Why not get the larger cups for £2? They can easily hold 800g. So 4kg+ for £10.

I only managed 774g both times, but I put quite a bit of chocolates which you can't really squeeze. Nonetheless I am happy to pay £1.95 for that amount of sweets.

27 Oct 161#57
I haven't got down there this year yet, I have no idea how you guys are getting a kilo in. I recall a voracious fisting resulting in punching the bottom of the cup out - with resultant pick n mix explosion on the floor. So I won't be trying that again - are you double cupping to avoid this?
