Dolly Mixtures

There I was in the campus shop the other day, and I was stood in the queue beside some bags of sweeties, and I noticed they had some bags of Basset's sweeties. One of them said Dolly Mix, but that's just wrong. They're Dolly Mixtures. There was a transparent part on the bag, and they looked like Dolly Mixtures alright. Why change the name like that? For a start, it changes the whole prosodic nature of the name.

What was your favourite Dolly Mixture? Mine was them little cubey ones.

The round coconut one for me.

Any of them!

(But if I had to choose, then it would be the jelly ones)

The cylindrical two-tone ones

prosodic?
Is that an anti-depressant?
I am a thick Black Country bloke, please enlighten me.

*shudder* I went out with someone from there once.

Prosody is explained here. It's not an anti-depressant, but it's actually not a bad idea for the name of one...hmm...

But would you feed it to your dolly?

Thanks for the link.
I have tried, but cannot digest it tonight, my tiny Black Country brain is full.
I need to lubricate it wth alcohol so something slips out in order to insert something new.
PS I like the way you drift from a pseudo intellectual argument into "Mine was the little cubey ones".

If there's one thing Panda's good at, it's drifting inexplicabley from one train of thought to another...

(Still like the jelly ones...)

Hehehe - it drives my bloke up the wall

I don't really get prosody either, which is one reason why I directed you to Wikipedia instead of explaining it to you myself.

I probably would feed it to my dolly if it still had its head, just to get rid of it.
