I don’t know if this particular brand of sweets is sold all around the world but here in the UK they are known as ‘Fruit ........s’. For the pedants among you I know this is a mis-spelling of the theme but it struck me as being close enough!

Thanks to Katie (Boneca) for setting today’s theme. Last Tuesday’s theme was ‘Permanence’. The other interpretations of this week’s theme can be found here.

The “Tuesday Inspiration” began in 2009 when Stefan and I started setting each other a photographic challenge on a… Tuesday. Very soon afterwards, we decided to open this up to other PB members, followed by the idea that we should not reveal what the subject is, so that other members could compare how different members view a single theme. The Tuesday Inspiration is not a contest or a challenge, but a group of people all agreeing to post their interpretation of a single theme on Tuesdays. Each week, one of the contributors sets the theme. There are now over 40 members contributing to the TI. We have only two “rules”: don’t include the subject in the TI title or tags and please comply with standard PB guidelines on courtesy, etc. If you would like to take part, please send me a message via this blog.

In Italy we call this sort of candies "Gelatine" (Jelly candies?) cpneumann · 2011-03-16: 02:07

You know, I've never understood the reason for saying you're raiding it. It's more of a total annexation, really. Thanks for bringing back a pleasant childhood memory. Haven't had one of those in decades. There were others that were hard and shiny and their name completely escapes me. My favourites were the blackcurrant ones. The strawberry ones were for girls. Yuk! revenant · 2011-03-16: 04:58

LOL total annexation:) great shot! Eiram · 2011-03-16: 09:10
