Vote for your Favourite Sweet!
Do we all have the same tastes in sweets? That’s the question being asked by new online confectionery website The Sweetie Jar which has launched a poll.

The poll is designed to discover each country’s favourite sweet and determine whether there is a difference of opinion in the top choices selected by English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish people.

Anyone from the four nations can vote for their best-loved sweets through the online poll and one lucky voter will also win a year’s supply of their preferred confectionery.

The voting is set to run for three months, ensuring everyone gets their chance to put forward their top sugary treat.

Each country’s favourite sweet will be announced on 30th June 2010 along with the winner of the year’s worth of sweets.

To vote please click here.
