    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.

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,257 ✭✭✭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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    just the coffee, but these days roses are different

    it's not like the old days...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,488 ✭✭✭SantaHoe


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

    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:

    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

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,182 ✭✭✭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 :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 90 ✭✭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"


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,016 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,713 ✭✭✭✭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 :p

    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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,598 ✭✭✭ferdi


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,136 ✭✭✭✭is_that_so


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 617 ✭✭✭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!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,730 ✭✭✭✭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 ...


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭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 .
