    There is nothing more infuriating than people putting empty wrappers back in tins of Roses. You get excited when you see the familiar blue of the Dairy Milk, and for it to be empty and then you're left with one of the bastard reject sweets that no one likes, no matter how many times you tell yourself "Ah maybe I'll like it this time..." No you won't. You never do.

    On the Throntons too, they're pretty good. But there's bound to be a couple of tins of roses knocking around too, only care for the purple ones

    My GF hates Turkish Delight (like everyone)

    I bought her a gag present of a wrapped box filled with around 30 different types of TD bars, she wasnt impressed,

    so, thats whats left in my house.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,080 ✭✭✭foxinsox

    This year we went with the quality street & milktray. I prefer roses, they're less apprehensive than Q street.

    As the tv ad goes; ‘For hands that do dishes that feel as soft as your face, mild green cadburys Roses’


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea_old

    Roses and Quality Street
    Quality Street

    God I love quality street, I'm pretty sure there isn't a single quality street that I don't like.

    Coconut Eclair
    Toffee finger
    Toffee Penny
    Toffee Deluxe
    Green triangle
    The purple one
    The orange crunchy one
    The tangy orange on
    The strawberry one
    Fudge

    They're my favourite ones but the others are nice too :D

    Quality Street
    Each to their own but its a scientific fact that if you prefer quality street to roses its almost 90% possible your a pervert.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,968 ✭✭✭✭Praetorian Saighdiuir


    What is wrong with you people....


    Turkish Delight


    Sucks hairy balls bigtime!!!

    It used to be said you'd know who were the prods or had prods in the family or were trying to be posh if they had quality street, well that's what one of my grandmother's would say. Oddly enough the other always had quality street.

    Ok, there seems to be an exception here.

    The Frys/Cadbury version are muck

    The real ones covered in corn flour/icing sugar are less muck.

    Roses are total poo since they got rid of Truffle Chunk (best.sweet.ever), Chocolate Bite, Praline Moment, Nutty Truffle Log and (looong ago) Coffee Creme.

    Heroes are nice but I will never ever ever forgive Cadbury for taking out the Crunchie Bite. Still miss the Nuts About Caramel and Fuse varieties too, and, slightly, the Picnic.

    I have no particular beef with Celebrations. They're nice. I wish they'd left the roundy ones shaped the way the way they used to be though.

    Never have Quality Street. There's only like one nice sweet in the whole thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,304 ✭✭✭coffeelover

    Roses, roses and more roses :(
    So sick of them. Every whole single person has given us roses!!
    I want some celebrations or quality street :D

    Humbug! we don't do chocolates.
    I think Celebrations are rank... I hate Mars, Galaxy & Snickers.

    My favourite chocolates by a long shot are from Puccini Bomboni in Amsterdam. Their chocolate covered marzipans are divine & their dark chocolate pepper flavoured chocolates are mind blowingly nice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,492 ✭✭✭Thomas828


    What about the plain old Dairy Milk? It's not the classiest chocolate there is, but gram for gram it's pretty much the best value.
