Flying Saucers Sweets Are Great for Children's Parties

Everyone knows that kids and candy are inseparable. They love to shove anything sweet and colourful into their mouths. So what better way to spice up a birthday party than by splashing out a bagful of flying saucer sweets? And what better way to reward trick or treaters than with a fistful of these tasty beauties. Since the 1960s these sweets have been a kids' favourite and with many new flavours being introduced every year, they will continue to remain so. Each saucer just melts into your mouth in a delicious paste that leaves you reaching for another one, and another one.

These sweets usually come as a jar of 300 or 600 multicoloured pieces of candy shaped in the round flat form of UFOs. Each jar goes for about £10 or £2 for a pack of 50 which represents good value for your money considering a jar can last for weeks, if you keep it out of your kids' reach. And what's more, you can place an order from any one of several online candy vendors without leaving the comfort of your home.

Like other candy, they contain sugar, starch, colouring and tartaric acid formed into a sweet rice paper cover filled with fizzy sherbet. What many kids love about the saucers is the fizzy sherbet that fills the inside of each saucer. Interestingly, most seem to prefer the sour sherbet to the sweet version. Seeing how kids love them, it is no wonder they were recently voted the most popular sweets of all time. However, it appears that those who have tasted satellite wafers, as they are known in some parts, fall into two categories: those who absolutely adore them, and those who can't really understand what the fuss is all about. But it seems that once you get hooked, you simply cannot live without this candy.

The love for these tongue tantalizing sweets has been passed down from generation to generation, with kids today also developing a weakness for these UFO shaped delicacies. Those to whom satellite wafers were first introduced to are in their forties and fifties, yet they still can't live without the sensation of fizzy sherbet on their tongues. As a result many kids today have caught this love for flying saucer sweets and will be sure to pass it on to their own kids as long as such candy is still in production.
