Quality Street vs Roses

[lazybloke]

Ferrero Rocher boxes used to be good for storing buttons, pencils, random small bits of bike, my daughter's hair bungies and so on.

Not any more; the previously solid plastic boxes are now so thin they feel like bendy film.

We do need less packaging, but the packaging still needs to be up to the job. Some of those 6 pint hdpe milk 'bottles' are now so thin they feel like they're going to split when picked up!

Cereal boxes too. They used to be thick card.

Neither.

I'd only eat the green triangle in QS, and maybe the fudge and truffle from Roses

Heroes or Celebrations have more options that I'd go for

Looking forward to my next trip back there, around mid March, and all those choccie eggs.
Are they on sale yet?

they have Christmas Eggs this year in Aldi... it's an abomination!

Both are ok, but I prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate and that's in moderation. 🧐

 

[Paulus]

Although I do like QS, my personal favourite is Mark's and Spencer Belgian chocolate truffles. Oooh.
I don't really have a sweet tooth.

Quality Street are my choice.
The toffee pennies are usually left, one of my favourites 😀

The problem is that you need to tenderise them with a 10lb lump hammer before you eat them.

Neither.

Thornton's Continental Selection, *especially* the dark chocolate Seville orange caramel ones...

 

[Reynard]

We’ve done this before.

Lindor balls....

I was bitterly disappointed that I haven't been able to find the latest new mint flavour variety free anywhere to sample.

Have checked local supermarkets and all don't have any samples out , I mean how are the public going to try them out

Wow, might be time to try Aldi again. Do they have Easter Santas?

 

[Dogtrousers]

Quality Street. Based on my memories of the tins. Pictures of 19th century gallant soldiers and their ladies beat pictures of roses.

Send me an PM and I'll happily send you an empty box to waft the aroma! 😂😂
