Soft thing are for chewing, hard things are for sucking.

Habit of chewing something that'sin your mouth I guess.

If there was a prize of a million pounds to keep it in your mouth for a year and you were being watched all the time I wonder if there would be any winners.

It's a chewy item, it's not a boiled sweet. You ought to chew it.

gordie - making you aware (well here in NI for a limited time) they have brought out packs of blackcurrant ones. Bought a clatter for my American friend yesterday. She loves them.

Gordie - I haven't had a packet of those for years, I might just buy a packet of them and see if you are right. :-)

In my country it relates to a noise - Fruit Pastille's are silent.
