As wifey has decided to give up smoking, I have been entrusted with the task of locating and obtaining sugarfree sweet/lollies that she can keep in the lounge/car/office to help with cravings. They must be sugarfree because as per all women she is conscious of putting weight on from this point onwards.

I didn't realise it would be so difficult as I thought that surely millions of yo-yo dieters/health freaks/diabetics should demand a market for such products? As someone who has never broached the health food market I presumed from hearsay that it was massive?

However, Asda was a flat no. Sainsbury's was a no. Tesco was a no. It was only one of those health stores bolted onto the side of a Tesco that turned up sugarfree lollies, but at 24p each it is hardly economical, and I looked like a right prick carrying 20 of them to the counter yesterday like a fat kid in the post office.

So any ideas? I'm after a industrial size boxes really. Macro? Holland & Barrett?
