I used to love Iced Gems as a kid and in a moment of nostalgia I bought a multi-pack of them in Tesco a few weeks ago.
The multi-pack contains 6 individual packets of Iced Gems, each containing 25g of goodness. The multipack cost a meagre £1.30. The packaging of the multi-pack is light blue and turquoise and has a picture of a cartoon polar bear. I guess they're aiming for the cute factor but I just felt that it looked a bit weird.

This entirely new Julianne Moore star vehicle, "The Forgotten" starts off as thriller that plays around with vanishing memory. But after its intriguing setup, it flies off totally unexpectedly into a wildly different direction.
