Surely these retro mouth watering tasty treats will please the counting gods ensuring we absolutely smash the Swans and deliver 3 much needed points.

I'm like Eloise Laws the "Opal Fruits" song is stuck in my head as well.
By the way do you think of Starbursts as being " AWFUL FRUITS" ?

My guess is going to be
Strawberry... 8
Orange... 8
Lemon... 7
Lime... 7

Total... 30

Thanks for the count Bosscat.
