I voted hero's in a moments madness, I panicked. I have never even both hero's. I am a QS guy, coins and stick things. 
Notions with lindt too here, plus chocolate covered dates.

I loved up until last year but they dropped the iced caramels, fruit jellies, hard fruit bars and coconut macaroons.

That’s so interesting, because 20 years ago Quality Street were seen as the poor relations of Roses. Just goes to show how much Cadbury’s have messed up.

I'm always surprised at how Quality Street are on here. They are the one tub of sweets that the shops always seem to be left with around me.

They would have been neck and neck in my ranking until 5 years ago or so, when Cadburys/Kraft ruined them.

They were going downhill way before then imo. When the tins started getting smaller each and every year and they changed the colour of the toffee sweet, it just sealed the deal, i think.

I wouldn't remember them before that really, because I'm just so young.

I think a sweet exchange thread would be a real winner.

That's a great idea.

Send them all on to Loughc and myself and we'll make sure they get to their final destination. :pac:

I wholeheartedly agree to this arrangement.

I saw this and thought of this thread. I am also a QS fan and this twitter person sorted and counted the sweets from 13 tins. I thought there was an even mix, but it's not the case

I seen this before but for roses the creme centres are cheaper to manufacture therefore makeup the majority of the sweets, thankfully the strawberry and orange cremes are my favourite! :pac:

Posy

The caramel barrels and purple ones are my favourites. Those bastrds.

I do like the strawberry too though, luckily.

I'd like to get the pick and mix tin in John Lewis, but I dunno if I could bring them back if I only had hand luggage. Is caramel technically a liquid?

Staph

I feel hard done by, as the most common 2 are my least favourite. But I am glad that some toffees are 3rd and 4th highest. Still a lot of dross though!

I adore the cremes!!

3rd to 6th my personal favourites, so thats a positive, having (by far) my two least favourites as 1 & 2 are negatives... but that just means they're eaten last...;)
