Which Cadbury's roses made you gag as a kid

billy the squid

Seeing as its nearly christmas and nearly time when the big tins of roses get broken out, I thought I would ask the question

Which cadbury's roses sweets ended up making the dog have a happy christmas?

Personally it was them half round ones with the orange and strawberry cream in them.

I could eat hundreds of the coffee ones and the little dairy milk and borneville ones though.

Sorry Billy, but it has to be the bloody coffee ones. They make me gag!!! Plus the yucky turkish delight. I love the caramel ones.

woosaysdan

has to be the coffee ones!!! i usually get a tin of celebrations now rather than roses!!!

pork99

strawberry

MarVeL

No more Bournville these days in Roses

cajun_tiger

anything apart from stawberry and carmel ones all the rest were sick!!

Skellington

coffe and orange ones always made me sick, but i always kept eatin them anyway...

SoupyNorman

any of the nutty ones...

remember when you would go rooting through the tin 5 or 6 weeks after xmas praying there was a caramel keg or (one of your fav ones) that everybody missed, but never to any avail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

penguinbloke

just the coffee, but these days roses are different

it's not like the old days...

SantaHoe

The strawberry at first, but nowdays I wub them.
It's an aquired taste I think, like turnips and cabbage I'd imagine.

Basq

Coffee!

Healio

That damn coffee one, especially when your lying in the dark watching the christmas films, pick up any ould choccy and shove the whole thing in and chew, then *boom* the nasty coffee taste kicks in!! :eek:

Ruu_Old

hated the coffee ones and those extremely hard toffees, cant remember what they were loved the caramel barrels and the hazelnut in caramel. Think i'll treat myself to a tub of Roses for Christmas haha

frodi

coffee ugh!
loved the long purple one with a nut covered in runny toffee. once had a family row cause somebody ate my fav.

Tiriel

the orange ones.. yuck!! I just can't get to like orange flavoured chocolates .. not that I haven't tried!! it's like turkish delight.. just can't get to like it

jared almasy

despite my surname (people who know me can vouch for this) i cant stand the coffe ones, they just make me pull a face "BLEURGH"

vibe666

coffee or orange. they just shouldn't be in there at all.

although my mum was mad for both, so it worked out okay for everyone in the end.

Makaveli

Any with nuts and coffee.
Coffee are the worst though, especially when you're going by shape and not looking, you think it's a strawberry only for it to be coffee. Ugh.
O/T coffee icecream is horrible too, I dunno how anyone could eat it. Coffee cake too.

Zombienosh

anything with a soft gooey centre ewww
specially when they been left lyin around lol

jor el

Coffee first, then orange. I never minded the strawberry ones which was handy 'cause there was always loads of them left for me

Kersh

Uuggghhhhhh

The crunchy Peanur brittle ones, (Gag!)

Coffee Creams of course.

But nowadays since I've become addicted to àctual drink coffee itself I find the 'Turkish delights'/'strawberry' to be the least palatable of all.

On a related note did anyone else ever play 'russian roulette' with Revels? Revels looked like maltesers but came 5 diff flavours and the loser would be the first to pick a coffee flavoured one out of the bag and eat it.

personally I would rather play russian roulette with a loaded handgun.

I take it so that its mostly the ones with the goo in them made people gag the most.

I used to love the coffee ones and you cant get them anymore. Sigh

ferdi

truffle - those ones are bollow. you know the green triangled ones in quality street - filth.

is_that_so

Loved them all, especially the coffees ones. Although mixed smell of all the flavours makes me gag a bit

telecinesk

That reminds me of the competition I used to do with my sister. We used to get all the coffee and Orange creams and see who could down the most within a minute.
Or who could gag the best!

simu

Orange and strawberry - yuck!

I liked the Coffee ones even if they wouldn't be my first choice.

I loved the mini chocolate bar ones and the hazlenut twirls!

Although anyone who thinks Roses are still a good present ...

billy the squid

I'd buy a box for someone if I didn't really want to buy them a present but felt I had to .

smoke.me.a.kipper

the ones with the creamy centers, caramel, strawberry, coffee etc... and the dairy milks

the rest made me ill.

Crucifix

Coffee creams.
Ahh, I remember one of my sister's friends had a family of Strawberry and Orange cream haters, and so after christmas she'd give me a big bag full of 'em.

smoke.me.a.kipper

my family are the same. i always get loads of them.

Agent Smith

them bloody triangle one's....

Stark

Never cared for those coffee ones. The rest were lovely (I wasn't adventurous enough to try the strawberry/orange ones though, these days I love them).

The new roses are pretty much all mank IMO.

(PS: Nice one boycotting the Chocolate forum with this one )

simu

Oh while we're on this topic, was it only in my family that people still called them "Irish Roses" years after they started importing them from England?

Stark

No my family did as well.

seamus

Turkish clearly. Forged by Lucifer himself. It's like eating solid perfume.

Strawberry cream and orange cream ones aren't great though when you've already had a lot.

swalsh

those fookin coffee ones...urghhh! my relations used to give them to me for a laugh until i spat them up on a lovely white wollen jumper of one of my aunts. that thought the fookers

GeorgeBailey

What about cocoanut? Bloody hated them. LOVED orange and coffee!

aidan_dunne

Funnily enough, I used to love (and still do) the coffee and strawberry creams. They'd always be the very first ones I'd go for. Also love those hazelnut-in-caramel-wrapped-in-chocolate ones that come in a purple wrapper. Used to never like the caramel barrel-type ones but I don't mind them too much these days. I guess my tastes have become more sophisticated over the years!

Mmmmmm, me can't wait for Christmas and the diving-into-the-tin-of-Roses that will take place!
