Me and my Mum went to the sweet shop in town yesterday. I got a pack of sweets for 99p I paid for them and the lady said to me, "Do you want to buy these toxic sweets?"

I replied, "Yes I will try them."

I went out of the shop and on the wrapper it said raspberry sweets. We went to more and more shops. When we finally got home I got one to try. They were as big as a pip in a plum. I tried one; my face nearly exploded. I thought, "But it said 'sweet' on the wrapper."

One day my mum and I went shopping. I saw a sign saying, "Puppies for sale” so I dragged my mum into the shop. Then I said, "Look at them, we so need a puppy in our house.”

But mum said, "Let's look at some other pets first!" So we looked around the shop but we loved the puppies. We agreed to buy one, but which one? We looked at the puppies and they all had wrappers on their collars. I chose my favourite I decided to call him Muffin, but it said ‘Sweet' on the wrapper, and we love him.

It was runny and slimy like blood. But it said sweet on the wrapper. I went to the candy store and told the woman. She had blood red lipstick and pearly white colossal teeth like fangs. She grabbed the sweet and grunted, "Try and be grateful ya little pestering brat of a child." When her back was turned I pulled the ugliest face to be seen. She turned back. My mouth was stuck in the awkward position. All I could see was a blackout.

One sunny day I was sat on a bench it said sweet on the wrapper. I saw my friend and told her but she didn't believe me. I said but it said sweet on the wrapper. Then she realized it was a famous name. In the sixteen hundreds there was a place it was a sweet shop and they had yummy sweets. Also it said that because nowadays we keep wrappers in a museum. Then I remember my friend telling me about they put sweet wrapper outlines on to the bench. Which I think is a good idea, but my Mum phoned me saying that I had to go home which I didn't want to because it’s boring.

I was going to the corner shop to get my favourite sweets, they are sour lemon bonbons, as I walked in the shop I asked for a pounds worth of bonbon's when I had paid for them I looked at the wrapper but it said 'sweet' on the wrapper not sour. I thought to myself, "Maybe it's just a mistake," so I carried on eating them till I came to my last one but the last one was strawberry flavour so then I said, "Oh well they taste just as good!" And that was the story of my day!

On Monday I went to Tesco to go shopping. When I arrived at Tesco I was really hungry. I asked for a sour lollipop but it said 'sweet' on the wrapper. When I tasted the lollipop it was scrumptious. After I ate my tasty lollipop I went to the toy area. My favourite toy at Tesco is Lego Star Wars because I love Star Wars movies. Then I spotted the set that I was saving up for with my money. After I found the set I kept begging my mum can I have the toy. She said I could buy it, so I did.

I went to Tesco with my brother yesterday and I found a new sweet on the shelf that looked really nice. I love anything sweet, if it is not sweet I will not eat it. I bought the sweet because it said sweet on the wrapper. We got home and the first thing I did was try it. I bit into it but it tasted bitter. I turned to my brother and said, “But it said sweet on the wrapper." I thought to myself that was strange. I went to bed that night and did not think anything about it again.

One day my mum let me go to the sweet shop. I loved the sweet shop; it has millions of different types of sweets. There were; marshmallows, flumps, different chocolate bars, my favourite waffles, yum and lots more. There were some new sweets there that I had never had before so I got some. I brought them home and was just about to eat one when mum shouted, “Don't eat that!” so I stopped and turned around to look at mum.

I said, “But it said, 'sweet' on the wrapper.”

Mum said, “Never eat that stuff!”

There was once a young girl, her name was Marie Rose Walker. She lived in a very small village near London. Her family were very poor, so she was really lucky to get one sweet a month. One day she was given two pounds to spend. She bought a big sweet, she did not know what it was called. When she opened it, all she saw was a small rolled up tea towel. Marie said to her parents, when they found out, "But it said 'sweet' on the wrapper.” Her parents were absolutely furious. Marie never went to that shop again.

Finally it's my birthday, and as a treat we are going to the one and only Cadburys chocolate and sweet factory! At 3.00 o'clock, me and my two friends arrived at the factory. At the door was the owner of the factory, consequently, he explained how the factory makes chocolate and other boring stuff. Next to the door was a container full of sweets and I put my hand into the container to help myself to one of them, with which the owner said, "STOP, they're no good." 

With which I said, "But it said 'sweet' on the wrapper."

When we were on our holiday last year at Elveden Forest Center Parcs, it had my favourite ever shop of all called, “Sweet Treats”. Which sold all the sweets that you could ever imagine, just like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. From chocolate to fudge, from fudge to toffee, from toffee to caramel, from caramel to mints, from mints to jelly babies from jelly babies to liquorice allsorts, from liquorice to Haribo’s, from tangy to sweet, from bitter to sour, but most of all sweets that confused your taste buds, making you think it was something else yet it said “sweet” on the wrapper, yuk yuk.

 “Would you like a sweet?” my sister asked.

“Yes please,” I said.

In the bag the sweets were all in brightly coloured wrappers mostly saying extremely sour on them.

One said sweet tropical flavour, so this is the one I took, as I hated sour flavoured sweets.

As I put the sweet into my mouth my sister started to giggle.

“What’s so funny?” I asked.

“Eurrgh that’s sour and bitter but it said sweet on the wrapper!” I said.

As I screwed my face up because of the taste.

“April fools,” my sister said. She had swapped the wrappers over.

He was so hungry he unwrapped it but it tasted horrible then he said to himself, “But it said ‘sweet’ on the wrapper.” Johnny thought it was a chemical test sweet that a science worker had made but dropped it on his way to work. In the morning Johnny looked like a horrible beast. Then he thought, “That stupid sweet made me look like this horrible hideous beast with long sharp fangs and ten eyes and green coloured haired all of my body.”

It was finally Saturday, a lovely, sunny summer's morning. However, something strange was hanging in the air. I went down the old, murky street and a mysterious shop grabbed my attention. There was a sign stating; "Down town sweet shop, where dreams come true..." Unfortunately, the rest was too smudged to read...

I slowly entered the gloomy room. There were thousands of shelves full with old jars of varied sweets. On the fragile counter lay a jar, it was full of colourful candies. I took one and ate it...
It was salty...but it said sweet on the wrapper!?...

My little sister was always playing tricks. There was the time she made me sit on a whoopee cushion. Then another when my Nan nearly fainted, she had surprised her with a ‘dead’ finger in a box. Now I thought it was time for revenge. “What are you up to?” mum said, as she saw me stirring chocolate in the kitchen. “You’ll see,” I replied. I added some salt and a bit of chilli when it had set I wrapped the sweet and offered it to my sister. Then I shouted to her, “But it said ‘sweet’ on the wrapper!”

In the middle of the night, I saw a bright light shine through my closed curtains. I reached out to turn my lamp on, when, the light became even more brighter. “What is that?” I thought to myself, and as this question came to mind, I sprung out of bed, and pulled my curtains open. When I looked out to see what the mysterious light was, I saw that it was coming from a fence, that led to a house. As I realised this, I turned off my lamp, shut my curtains, and went back to sleep.

Once in the dark gloomy forest there was a rather strange shed. It was very creepy and mysterious. It glowed in the panther black darkness and a bright light sparkled. The bricks were a rainbow colour, all multi-coloured and the dazzling light shone. It was as if it was as bright as the sun. The trees around it were towering above me, I felt as tiny as a mouse, and people were following the light. It must have had some impact on the human brain, there were red ropes but people didn't care. I was wondering what it led to......

I quickly rushed to the front of the small crowd of people to see what was shining in front of me. I took one step forward, suddenly a huge gleaming light shone out of a miniature hole right before my very eyes! The light was so bright I started to slowly walk backwards with my hands covering my eyes. The further I walked the brighter the light got until one of the girls in the huddle turned around and collapsed on the ground! She screamed as loud as a hurricane shredding up buildings. I asked myself questions. How? Who? What?
