Favourite roses sweet gone

Woden

Yeah so I just cracked open a tin of roses, tis the season and all that, and the best sweet in the tin the chewy caramel jobbie appears to be awol.

My dismay knows no bounds

Sprouts

I thought this thread was gonna be about old flames, sweet old flames that buggered off with the milkman or something

Oswald Osbourne

The best one is the purple one with the nut and the caramel. I usually just pour the box out on the table and nab the lot. Anyone who has a problem with that gets a thick lip from me, and that includes the ma.

Isn't it just in a different wrapper? Blue one i think....

AlmightyCushion

They've changed the wrapper for the caramel one (it's my favourite too woden). The caramel keg now looks like the one you want. The one you want is in a blue wrapper. Check the little book that comes with them.

I'm so jealous. We only had one tin of roses in the house and it's gone. Mum only bought quality street this year. Roses are so much better.

Celebrations are like having an orgasm in your taste buds.

I had a nasty surprise when I bit into what I thought was a lovely hard caramel only for it to be a manky soft one. Yuck. :mad:

What the hell is wrong with you. The caramel keg is the best one. Also the coffee ones are rank. Anyone who likes them officially has no soul.

Didn't you notice it was the barrel one when you took it out of the wrapper though? Beer eyes?

Pacifico

The keg is nicer than the chewey caramel one!!

Amen, brother. Although the chewy caramel one is still nice.

Truffle Chunk (blue wrapper) was my favourite, with Praline Moment probably a second favourite. And one of my most favourite Heroes was the Crunchie, so I am very very sad.

Cadbury single-handedly ruined Christmas

Dunno about that!

They, along with that Brazil nut version of it, were always the ones left in the tin!!

I've a real "how do you eat yours" way of eating them. I unravel one side, stick it in the gob open side first and slide it out by pulling on the unopened end...

Same here, and the purple nut ones (or they used to be the purple toffee nut ones)... used to be the coffee ones back in the old days

Gran Hermano

Changing wrappers requires one to RTFM not a good game and interferes with festive bevs.

Yes, it's an absolute outrage that the coffee one is gone. What were they thinking?? How in christ did that disgusting strawberry one make the cut?? I mean, seriously - who likes the strawberry one? Each time I try and eat one (pure gluttony), I end up nearly having a stroke. It causes actual spasms in my neck cos its so sweet.

Any why oh why are there 2 orange sweets in roses now. One cream and one crunchy??

Bring back the coffee, you's f*cks. You can't even buy any form of chocolate bar that tastes similar.

And i'm not happy about the bournville squares being gone either, but that's another day's work!

Miniature Heroes will sort that out for you now ...to the detriment of the Crunchie

They need to LEAVE THINGS ALONE!!! Fair enough, compared to the crunchie bar, the crunchie sweets in MH were shyte. But to get rid of them altogether? Outrageous.

Keep bournville in with the roses. Leave crunchie in Miniature Heroes. Everyone's a winner.

Also - didn't like that they got rid of the turkish delight in roses as well but at least you can buy the bar.

I can still taste that coffee cream!! I'll never taste it again.:mad:

orestes

Hang on, the coffee one is gone?!

Woohoo! \o/

Never again will I pick up a tin of Roses, shake it and hear the rattly sound of lots of sweets in it, and experience that most horrifying moments of despair when you open it and it's nothing but 20 fecking coffee sweets and nothing else

Pure evil those fecking things were, good riddance I say

I'll pay you for them.... Name your price... /tries to stop hands shaking

How about a game of the Twister rip off game we all know and love - 'Don't Fall Down'???

If I stay standing, I get d'sweetz.

You don't even like them anyway... Hand them over, you meanie. Or you may find that you wake up one morning without those lustrous long locks of yours!:pac:

Coffee creams bring out the psycho in me. *blushes*:o:p

God no, I thought the Crunchie MH sweet was far nicer than the bar. It was beautiful in fact.

When did they have Turkish Delight in Roses?!

I agree, the coffee ones were so beautiful. So annoyed that they're gone. Never understood why people didn't like them ...there was always loads left for me. It was great

Wurly

emeraldstar wrote: »

Back in d'late 80's. It had a foil pink/purple wrapper if I recall correctly and was square.

Hmm, I think miniature heroes made an arse of the crunchie sweet. Don't get me wrong, it was still a ride. But it just wasn't as crunchieey as the bar. That disappointed me somewhat. And it was an unpleasant surprise that I wasn't expecting. I don't like being shocked like that.:P

Oswald Osbourne

The turkish delight was in Cadburys milk tray.
