"Woolies is home to the original pic n' mix and our chart is a way of documenting the nation's likes and dislikes," the Telegraph quoted Woolworths brand director Matthew Hardcastle as saying.

"Taste in sweets change as much as any other trend. We had previously seen a movement to nostalgic sweets but the juicy strawberry is definitely the sweet of the moment and is a very contemporary choice," he added.
