:::I was just correcting the BrEng as I saw it, but looking back at the scene on iPlayer, it looks like it could have been a toffee, or a butterscotch, based on the wrapping style. Does anyone comment on the kind of sweets they are when Cyril gives them? Is it more obvious what they are in the new animation? If not, using "boiled sweet" as a stand-in for "a sufficiently hard confectionary that would break a tooth if you accidentally bit into it" doesn't strike me as particularly NO RW-ey. Or, otherwise "hard sweet" as in "a sweet that was hard", and I accidentally jumped the gun in BrEng-ifying? Not sure tbh - [[User:CodeAndGin|<span style="color:green" title="CodeAndGin">CodeAndGin</span>]] | [[User_talk:CodeAndGin|<span title="Talk to me">🗨</span>]] | 17:25, 17 June 2024 (UTC) | |||
