Why does everyone hate the coconut ones?

This has been a lifelong Christmas saga since I was a young child.

Whether it’s Roses, Quality streets or Celebrations, the tin is devoured with nothing but a dozen coconut ones left within a day or two of Christmas. They sit in there like abandoned children until I come along and put them out of their misery.

I absolutely adore bounty’s and simply don’t understand the lack of love here, while the infamous and incredibly mediocre “purple ones” fly out of the tin and cause domestic disputes around the dinner table.

What gives?
