O/T Quality Street chocolate scandal.

Another green triangle fan here. I used to like the red square ones they had in the 70s too.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Ohhhh yes. They even made them as a stand alone at one stage.

You can buy giant ones.

I miss coffee creams. Loads of 'selections' seem to be getting rid of them. Luckily Thornton's do a dedicated bag. In their absence it's the purple caramel/hazelnut combo

My mother will kill for coffee creams. I haven't had one for decades as a result.

I can't stand any of the soft centres, give me one of the chewy ones every time.

always been a QS fan until i realised last year that Rose's have nicer Cadbury's chocolate and nicer fillings too.

Don't like the toffees so no complaints here.

Favourite is the purple one which unfortunately is also my wifes favourite which is not good

 

[whitelion]

Not sure if QS or Roses but Tesco Holmbush selling 2 tins for £7. Last week they were £5 a tin.

Toffee is hard work and gets stuck to your teeth so it's no loss.

Take 'em out

Ah sorry, wrong thread.

 

[fat old seagull]

Well they won't be getting my money this Christmas if that's the case

I don't think you'll get a tin that big in your pocket!

Ok let's be clear:
Coffee cream? Chocolate covered poo. Why would anyone enjoy a coffee cream?
Toffee Deluxe axed. Another pice of cost saving from the evil ones at Nestle.
Strawberry cream? Too sweet, especially compared to the orange cream.
Orange flavoured Revels still plenty in the bigger grab bags and only £1 last week in Tesco.
Purple wrapped caramel toffee with a hazelnut? Only good for when you are desperate for another toffee and it's the only one left - spit out the nut obviously as why have a hard nut in a soft toffee?
Gold penny toffee? Still great.

Why, oh why, oh why do manufacturers feel the need to endlessly change successful products. They probably always (though the usual pendants will be busy trying to be smart) end up shooting themselves in the foot. Black Magic, Terry's All Gold, Milk Tray and others, have all gone down the same route from market leaders to also rans.
My guess is, that as middle managements change, the new boys (and girls) like to make their mark, and impress those at Directorship level how much cleverer than their predecessors they are. We end up with a lesser product in fancy new (smaller) packaging and the only increase is the PRICE.

If I was in charge I'd go right back to that 80s one and then double the price. People want to be fat pigs at Christmas and would probably be willing to pay more to get more.

They'd make a killing.

I didn't realise that we had so many wronguns as members. Moderating this board is tough enough sometimes without having to cope with people who entertain the thought, even for a second, that anything other than the purple one is clearly the best. It's enough to make a grown man weep.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Is it the crimson, rock hard one? The hard one anyhow.
