Boiled sweet

Boiled sweets are a type of confectionery from Earth. Boiled sweets should not be given to children, as they may choke, and should only be eaten by older children or adults. The Eleventh Doctor was in pocession of boiled sweets (DW: The Vampires of Venice), so it is possibly the Eleventh Doctor has a liking for the sweets, similar to the Second and Eigth Doctors, The Master's, and more notably The Fourth Doctors liking of "jelly babies".
