It says it right on the bag.

A turtle named Dick. Looks to be spotted also.

I thought this was going to be about spice bags.

A Dick Turtle, Yeah, I suppose turtles can be dicks.

So Spotted Dick, guess that's the "sweets" part of it.
I wonder what the "toys" was, probably just trashy plastic stuff that broke right away, after all the Turtle was a Dick.

Don't recall ever seeing that product - presumably it's a pun on "Dick Turpin"?

(Which also inspired Carry On Dick - perhaps surprisingly not NSFW)

Hm, Turpin, Terrapin, maybe?

Not sure what point you are making, but I vaguely remembered something about US-English terminology differences and what I found said:


Terrapins and turtles are both aquatic reptiles, but much disagreement exists about the differences between these two chelonians.


Indeed, the difference really depends on where you live; within the USA the word terrapin is rarely, if ever used. Instead all aquatic members of the tortoise family are known as “turtles”.


Within the UK, and much of Europe, however, the matter is rather more complicated. Broadly speaking the word terrapin is used to describe those chelonians living in freshwater, while the word turtle is reserved for those in marine environments.

So whatever that item is, it's some sort of marine chelonian highwayman sugar product.

See f I was making that post I'd have put a picture of lube, condoms, poppers and a packet of Rohypnol and Viagra and sworn blind that that's what was in them! I'm just too low effort to do that.

This is why people around me have trust issues!
People around you know that there’s a rift in the space-time continuum just outside of Cardiff…and that you probably crawled out from under a rock in said rift. I suspect THAT has more to do with the trust issues than anything else.

My ex had a dildo made from dick turtle shell. It looked cool.
Ribbed for her pleasure.
