Roses Tin to Shrink - Again (4 times in recent Memory)

gerrybbadd

Those good guys at Kraft have announced that they are going to again shrink the size of a tin of Roses. The price will of course, remain the same.

This is 4 times in recent memory. Enough is enough now at this stage. I think it;s time to boycott the Cadbury brand. Kraft have done nothing but run it into the ground since they bought it out.

I've been boycotting them for years.

Boycott?

I don't buy them because they taste like shyte.





Kraft / Modeleeez or whatever have killed Cadburys.

I can see why but, I mean... it's just chocolate, like.

Ah here, they're krafty effers!!!!!

I buy them just for the strawberry and orange creamy ones!

When I was younger I opened a box my mam had, took them ones out and taped it up again. Didn't know she was giving them to the neighbours!!

Inflation meant confectionery companies had a choice of either charging more for their stuff or shrink them down a bit.

Doesn't excuse what they did to the Creme Eggs, I'm pretty sure the "cream" is just ground up plastic or sand that somehow got into the production line and they realised consumers hadn't noticed. :pac:

As for the Rose tins, where's the Irish Mammy supposed to store all her sowing kit with the decreasing size of the tins now? These are the questions that need to be asked!

They can suck my big fat chocolate salty one

Hande hoche!

Sure it's all more soya and less milk these days.

PARlance

They should rebrand them as Violets

whisky_galore

They've tasted gick for the last few years anyway.

They're sickeningly sweet. They've probably replaced the sugar with corn syrup.

Much prefer Galaxy branded chocolates. I hate Mars Bars so Celebrations (which seem to be 50% Mars bars) are wasted on me.

Ferrero Rocher Rafaello ftw.

Who buys these things. They just tend to magically appear every Christmas, end up beside me and I graze through them. Free magic sweets, I won't complain about the size.

I just don't like the sweets.i still get them at Christmas as presents. Sickly as someone said.

I don't care about smaller boxes, the ultimate first world problem.

paulbok

I don't get why they have to shrink the tin, it's not as if they don't have smaller boxes for sale.
Nothing stopping them for having a 1kg tin that goes up in price every year or so and a smaller budget tin.

Kraft are infamous in America for producing crap apparently.
Seen Rich Hall rip the piss out of them on the telly one night,Live at the Apollo or something.

stmol32

I don't understand why everyone is blaming Kraft for this.

We were all told by Iona that this was going to happen if we let the gays get married.

Pumpkinseeds

They were always horrible chocolates. We haven't bought tinned sweets for years, we just get a nice box from Thorntons.

darkpagandeath

Cream eggs have thinner shells and the goo is different. Still Can't get over that.

NachoBusiness

Almost every house I've been in has one of these in shed full of thumbtacks, drill bits and old keys.

Roses tins where what we did for storage solutions before we had Ikea.

I did the same. Had to dash to the shop to replace it before my mam was shamed forever among the neighbours!!

scdublin

This upsets me I love chocolate...I love Christmas...they're ruining everything I love!! And don't get me started on what's happened to moro bars....

kfallon

Never mind the Roses, why the fook did they take the Galaxy Truffle sweets out of the Celebrations :mad:

The saddest moments of my childhood were getting my hands on a tin of roses, feeling the weight & rattle of its chocolatey goodness, only to open the tin and instead find needles, and thimbles, and spools of colourful thread :mad: The disappointment.

Celebrations are much better anyway.

I lost respect for Roses when they got rid of the coffee cream . The fillings are too samey now, disguised with different wrappers. Thorntons are lovely , especially the continental selection.

It's not even a metal tin anymore, it's an evil plastic tub of despair.

Also with the paper boxes you can sneak a few out under the tabs without breaking the seal

Bounty bars are made by angels in the presence of a God to escort your tastebuds to heaven.

I'm suspicious of anyone who doesn't like coconut, and you're on the list Nim.

Coffee flavoured chocolate is an abomination. As are bounties.

They're not nice, I'd like to know when was the last time someone walked into a shop and actually bought one? 1980's? :P

It's the truth, it's the chocolates people feed their dogs after Xmas....and the dogs say, "Fúck off they are rank!!!"

You were doing well til you dissed the bounty bar!

I only like the orange and strawberry cream Roses. Whenever I get a box of Roses, I just empty them of the orange and strawberry ones and give away the rest.

Likwise. Hmph.

Black magic are the best. They have lemon, raspberry and orange creamy ones. They have coffee too, and just plain dark chocolate. God I'd love a box. The husband is away for a few days so I might buy a box and have all evidence gone by Monday '

Yuck, Yuck, Yuck!

What's with all this love for those cream yokes? In my house they were the ones no one ate!

Should be at least covered in coconut.

I put four or five in at a time sometimes, just to feel it go all gooey and delicious. Obviously when I'm alone because I look like this

Why does delicious chocolate need to be ruined with coconut flavouring?

Jaysus I hated them, I remember when I was younger:

"Mam wants to know do you want a chocolate?"
"Oi oi - dairybox Turkish Delight thank you very much!"
"They're Black Magic"
"Ffs - no!"
