    They have been devalued to death. Once was a time when each house had one tin of sweets. They were a rare treat, well made and loved.

    Now because the half filled box retails at about €3, every fecker picks up half a dozen boxes, each one filled with low grade chocolates, and they get gifted around until everyone ends up with the six they bought back. No one enjoys them, they induce nausea just looking at them and they become a chore to finish.

    Would've been better if they made the sweets higher quality, even at higher price so you could still enjoy them as a rare treat.

    Haven't eaten one and likely won't eat one this year.

    I’d rather have a good few at Christmas than a “rare treat”.

    Danish Butter Cookies have always been a favourite of mine. The ones in the blue tin. Great for dunking in tea. When I was younger, nobody else in my house was arsed with them, so I'd pretty much hoover them up.

    Roses are muck compared to Quality Street

    Heroes and celebrations can shag off too.

    I have to agree re Rose's v Quality St. Roses have really gone down in recent years
    +1 on the Victoria

    I bought a box of roses for old times sake....

    Like an ex girlfriend...dont go back to go forward...

    How can I explain to my kids how much of a treat they once were...

    We would even use the tins for feeding sheep a few nuts...

    Ive switched to Kimberly biscuits this yer as I discovered recently the jam in the Mikados had been reduced in size.
    For sweets I have a box of Cadbury's Eclairs and a box of Scots Clan which no one else like.
