whelk Posted 3 November, 2022 Share Posted 3 November, 2022 Was a sad day when the cracknel was ditched. Crappy sweet but part of my childhood seeing nothing but those left in the tin at Christmas.

Your numbers 1,2 and 3 are numbers 10, 11 and 12 in our house. Is there a market for a service that swaps people's Quality Street? eg Our leftover Orange Creams could be swapped for your Coconut Eclairs?

Picard Posted 4 November, 2022 Share Posted 4 November, 2022 I hadn't realised there's an ongoing Quality Street scandal. They have gone green with the wrappers. https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/quality-street-fans-threaten-switch-28161089 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 5 November, 2022 Share Posted 5 November, 2022 (edited) The creams are the best and toffee penny is shit, partly because it lacks chocolate but also because it has the potential to remove a filling. How about ranking the tubs of chocolate from best to worst? 1. Quality Street 2. Heroes 3. Roses 4.

Lighthouse Posted 5 November, 2022 Author Share Posted 5 November, 2022 Good shout cat, I’d broadly agree with that. If I want celebrations, I’ll just buy a full size Twix, Mars or Milky Way.

revolution saint Posted 6 November, 2022 Share Posted 6 November, 2022 Purple one for me. Have to be honest though, it’s heroes or celebrations then roses and then quality street. Roses and Quality Street are just not diverse enough and don’t reflect the modern world we live in today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 6 November, 2022 Author Share Posted 6 November, 2022 I reckon if this place was an actual lounge, we'd probably see off a tin of pretty much everything between us. I'm quite happy to scoff the creams and Milky Ways and leave the nutty stuff to you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted 6 November, 2022 Share Posted 6 November, 2022 (edited) I was never a fan of Quality Street as a kid but as they were the only thing around on special occasions I made the best of it. The only ones I could remember properly without google (probably the last time I had any was back in the 70’s) were the green triangle, the penny shaped toffee and the finger. I’m much happier with Heroes or Celebrations but whoever thought it was a good idea to remove the Bounty should be fired! Thinking back, there often used to be a box of Black Magic around which is probably where I got my love of dark chocolate and marzipan from and I much preferred their different choices. Going off at a tangent, I really don’t like Cadbury’s Crème Eggs. They are just way too sweet and it makes my teeth go on edge just thinking about them. I don’t know if they still make them but there used to be something with a similarly super sweet filling, Fry’s Chocolate Cream, which was also on my avoid list.

Creme Egg is OK now and then, but as you say, very sickly/sweet.
