Talk:Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles

The pack i'm eating now is 52.5g, is this a larger standard?

Packs with only black and red pastilles
Has anyone noticed these? Great idea, they're my favourite flavours. I've added a sentence about these to the article. LDHan 17:56, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I heard on Stephen Fry's QI that fruit pastilles USED TO contain heroin!? Can anyone confirm this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.211.67.131 (talk) 12:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Most of the drugs you know where widely used at one point. Coca-Cola famously contained Cocaine, Hitler did Crystal Meth, and most likely, sweets would have contained drugs too, to increase enjoyment. &#9775;Ferdia O'Brien (T) / (C) 14:35, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Wine Pastiles
There is no mention on Wikipedia of the Wine Pastile variant. They seem to be a cross between fruit pastiles and wine gums, and they taste a lot better than both. They are produced and packaged in a similar package to maynards winegums and made by maynards.

Is it worth mentioning Maynards version of this or...?

Ingredients and flavors are wrong?
I bought a 600g box of these from a local British food importer and they contain no artificial flavors or colors, and they contain the additional flavors of grape and apple - or to be more precise, they contain those fruit juices in addition to juices for the fruits listed in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CGameProgrammer (talk • contribs) 21:48, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Factual Error
Fruit Pastilles were first made in Fawdon, Tyneside, England in 1881.

Perhaps someone would care to fix the above - the Fawdon factory dates from 1958. Further, the district known as Fawdon is a surburb of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne.87.192.210.37 (talk) 17:50, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Citation Needed
There are way too many Citation Needed labels in this. For example, anyone in the UK or Ireland can just buy a pack of them to verify they are still packaged in foil-backed paper, with paper outside that. zoney &#09827; talk 23:14, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
