The keg is nicer than the chewey caramel one!!

Amen, brother. Although the chewy caramel one is still nice.

Truffle Chunk (blue wrapper) was my favourite, with Praline Moment probably a second favourite. And one of my most favourite Heroes was the Crunchie, so I am very very sad.

Cadbury single-handedly ruined Christmas

Dunno about that!

They, along with that Brazil nut version of it, were always the ones left in the tin!!

Didn't you notice it was the barrel one when you took it out of the wrapper though? Beer eyes?

I've a real "how do you eat yours" way of eating them. I unravel one side, stick it in the gob open side first and slide it out by pulling on the unopened end...

Same here, and the purple nut ones (or they used to be the purple toffee nut ones)... used to be the coffee ones back in the old days

Changing wrappers requires one to RTFM not a good game and interferes with festive bevs.

I miss the coffee one.

Yes, it's an absolute outrage that the coffee one is gone. What were they thinking?? How in christ did that disgusting strawberry one make the cut?? I mean, seriously - who likes the strawberry one? Each time I try and eat one (pure gluttony), I end up nearly having a stroke. It causes actual spasms in my neck cos its so sweet.

Any why oh why are there 2 orange sweets in roses now. One cream and one crunchy??

Bring back the coffee, you's f*cks. You can't even buy any form of chocolate bar that tastes similar.

And i'm not happy about the bournville squares being gone either, but that's another day's work!

Miniature Heroes will sort that out for you now ...to the detriment of the Crunchie

They need to LEAVE THINGS ALONE!!! Fair enough, compared to the crunchie bar, the crunchie sweets in MH were shyte. But to get rid of them altogether? Outrageous.

Keep bournville in with the roses. Leave crunchie in Miniature Heroes. Everyone's a winner.

Also - didn't like that they got rid of the turkish delight in roses as well but at least you can buy the bar.

I can still taste that coffee cream!! I'll never taste it again.:mad:

orestes · 26-12-2008 12:32AM

Hang on, the coffee one is gone?!

Woohoo! \o/

Never again will I pick up a tin of Roses, shake it and hear the rattly sound of lots of sweets in it, and experience that most horrifying moments of despair when you open it and it's nothing but 20 fecking coffee sweets and nothing else

Pure evil those fecking things were, good riddance I say

I'll pay you for them.... Name your price... /tries to stop hands shaking

How about a game of the Twister rip off game we all know and love - 'Don't Fall Down'???

If I stay standing, I get d'sweetz.

You don't even like them anyway... Hand them over, you meanie. Or you may find that you wake up one morning without those lustrous long locks of yours!:pac:

Coffee creams bring out the psycho in me. *blushes*:o:p

God no, I thought the Crunchie MH sweet was far nicer than the bar. It was beautiful in fact.

When did they have Turkish Delight in Roses?!

I agree, the coffee ones were so beautiful. So annoyed that they're gone. Never understood why people didn't like them ...there was always loads left for me. It was great

Back in d'late 80's. It had a foil pink/purple wrapper if I recall correctly and was square.

Hmm, I think miniature heroes made an arse of the crunchie sweet. Don't get me wrong, it was still a ride. But it just wasn't as crunchieey as the bar. That disappointed me somewhat. And it was an unpleasant surprise that I wasn't expecting. I don't like being shocked like that.:P

Oswald Osbourne · 26-12-2008 01:08AM

The turkish delight was in Cadburys milk tray.

Tar.Aldarion · 26-12-2008 01:17AM

I remember the turkish one I miss it. Best three were orange, coffee and turkish.

Do Milk Tray still exist?

Tar.Aldarion · 26-12-2008 01:29AM

Yes, of course.

Nevyn · 26-12-2008 01:31AM

They took out the coffee one after taking out the bournville ?
Well they can fúck right off then, really those two and the purple ones, the hazelnut in caramel wrapped in chocolate were the only ones worth eating.

Totally only buying qualtiy street from here on out and maybe a box of the purple ones
which you can thankfully get.

Tar.Aldarion · 26-12-2008 01:35AM

Not quality street! Ugh!

Yeah - the quality of the chocolate isn't the best but Cadbury's deserve to be boycotted after this shambles. They have made a sh1tty arse of what once was a box of joy.

Now all it is is delicious confusion and disappointment.

It just won't do!

Two boxes of joy

Quality Street: green triangles are actually decent enough. They should never have got rid of the Vanilla Octagon though. That was nice too.

In fairness though, it has been years and years since these two were removed so if you're only noticing now I don't think it should bother you all that much

Favourite roses sweet gone
