Why did they put the lime barrel and turkish delight in the Milk Tray?

These were the sweets left behind in the box on the day after Boxing Day.

My brother and I used to carry out fire-related experiments on them in the end because they were too awful to eat.

Lime barrels were a favourite from my childhood many years ago.

Always one weirdo who loves the coffee/black cherry/strawberry chocolate sweets, which is great, because they're happy not to take the nice ones. :pac:

Can we ask Nestle to rename Quality Street because they've changed the chocolate to something yukkier and made the fillings insipidly sweet. They are no longer a "Quality" sweet.

BTW -

Purple One (the original 'Purple One' with Brazil nut, replaced with hazelnut version)
Montelimar Nougat
Malt Toffee (replaced with toffee deluxe as a "new" flavour)

and wasn't there a cherry one too ?

Whatever you do, don't buy a tin of roses this year. They've changed them once again and its absolute dirt.

Firstly, the changed some of the flavours. The old nice green caramel one is now coffee!
Also, they've changed the type of chocolate they use. So its now cheap plastic flavourless shíte.

They're the best three

Bought a Twix the other day and it was almost fun size they have shrunk the fcukers so much.

Here's another thing. Cadbury's chocolate made here tastes different to that make in the UK because of the milk, or so I was told. Certainly the 1Kg bars of dairy milk weren't as nice as the smaller ones.

So where are the boxes of Roses made ?

Also what's in the selection boxes this year ??

Remember they're just chocolates. They're not love.

Phenethylamine, theobromine, caffeine and sugar make an excellent substitute for some.
