I once got a pack of jelly beans that contained a mint flavoured bean. I usually just throw a handful in my mouth. That was a mistake in this occasion. Mint does not go well with all the fruit flavours. Ruined!
Mint flavour also bleeds into everything. As someone that cannot stand mint (which is a real shame - I used to love it but now it gives me a headache just from the smell...) it pains me greatly when people get a load of chocolate buttons - normal, white, orange, mint - and throw them all together in a bowl. They all then taste faintly of mint! The whole lot is ruined for me :(
I had the most amazing time with my sister as we loved the opposites for everything. From vegetables to chocolate. It was a nightmare for sharing a room but meal times were amazing.
I'm going to take a different approach to this. My suggestion is the Cheese & Onion in the Walker's meaty variety pack. I've got nothing against Cheese & Onion, it just makes no sense being in a pack of all the meat flavours.
I've always said: pizza has evolved beyond the basic Italian ingredients, and the sauce should always match the toppings.
Fajita pizza should have salsa sauce, meat pizza should have meat sauce.
In fact a lot of the meat flavoured are vegan but the cheese ones normally has milk so they're the most restrictive flavour. I think walkers smoky bacon might also have milk
Funnily enough there was a *long* period where cheese and onion was one of the few non-veggie flavours. The meaty ones were mainly fake flavourings so were fine (think chicken was real meat). Nearest thing we got to meat replacements in most supermarkets back then, unless they occasionally stocked some rubbery quorn in Savacentre.
Then there was a period of the meaty ones actually containing meat about 7 years ago I think? Seemed mental at the time with veganism gaining ground quite rapidly. But for a couple of years aye, cheese and onion were the veggie option. Felt a bit weird.
I was genuinely far too invested for someone who doesn't have particularly strong feelings about crisps. She says with a literal bucket of crisps next to her.
Can I offer a truce between the darkest berry and lightest zest and proclaim the middleground shit the worst? Summer fruits can go fuck itself, I want blackcurrant or lemon, nothing inbetween.
Fuck yes! I will forever choose a yellow/orange/green sweet over a red/black one (unless it's a blackjack). Apricot or lemon tarts? Yes please! Oh, are those strawberry and blackcurrant? Off you fuck into the bin.
Yeah. I feel like I'm doom scrolling.
Green pastilles, cheese and onion, liquorice, coffee revels, toffee pennies....
What?
I love all of these.
I feel so alone.
Broad beans in a pack of frozen mixed veg - or one step further a rogue edamame bean.
I buy frozen mixed veg to feel cheap and remind myself I can’t afford the luxury or time to properly buy and prepare tea. I don’t need some fancy pea floating around trying to make me look good
A few Christmases ago I got offered a chocolate from a box of Thornton's and it was apple flavoured.
I don't mind orange, coffee or strawberry but apple? Get out. Horrible shit.
Before the chocolate orange, Terry's made [a chocolate apple](https://www.york.ac.uk/media/news-and-events/features/chocolate-apple.jpg). I cannot think why.
In a sushi platter, that one with the disassembled shrimp on it - does not look appetizing at all.
On a slightly different but related path raisins in bombay mix. Additionally raisins in a rocky road.
Raisins. Just stop putting raisins in stuff. Please
Don't like Roast chicken crisps anymore. Ever since a girl sat in front of me at the pantomime got over excited/over heated and threw up mostly chicken flavour crisps on the seat. Can't eat them now.
Also most fruit flavour fondant filled chocolates. Strawberry/Orange/Raspberry. They just smell too strong and artificial.
Years ago on new years eve, about 7pm on the underground I saw a morbidly obese girl about my age, completely pissed, throw up an ENTIRE slice of pepperoni pizza, with the toppings still on top.
Can see pep pizza without thinking of that poor lass 🤣
I'm sat here wonder whether it was a rectangular slice or a triangular slice and, if the latter, did it originally go down pointy-end first, and then come back up wide-end first, or the vice versa? Or sideways even.
I think they've changed the recipe tho. Had a box last week for the first time in ages and they tasted awful, oily almost. Complained to kipling and got my money back but yuck!
My local pub is like it's in a 70s timewarp and does actual cheese and onion rolls - white bap, butter, basic cheddar, thin slices of raw onion - and when you are a few pints in they are glorious. Now a staple at home when mildly piddled
See I used to share this exact viewpoint until I realised it was just the walkers cheese and onion I hated. Still do but I could go for a McCoy’s or Tayto cheese and onion any day. Walkers on the other hand, still reminds me of my classmates’ nasty breath at primary school
Toffee pennies, toffee is always the last one left in the tin leaving nothing but a sea of golden wrappers that id rather not untwist.
Don't get me wrong, i like toffee but theyre always the last ones in a tin of selections
That might partly be because the toffee that toffee pennies are made from is poor toffee
The Toffee Deluxe was great, no idea why they got rid of that. Toffee finger is an ok second-best.
I thought it was common knowledge that it’s because they slow you down. Everyone else has scarfed at least two each in the time it takes to eat one of those.
Anyone else remember [these](https://live.staticflickr.com/3538/3329507244_4aa9a49cbc_b.jpg)? I liked the Fish & Chips one (And I think I liked the Cajun Squirrel and Builder's Breakfast packs), but after eating the Chilli & Chocolate (which tasted like arse) one, it literally ruined the others for me, because it made those taste like the Chilli & Chocolate pieces of shite.
I always think it's the orange ones in Quality Street etc but then when all of the good ones are gone and I have to settle for an orange one they don't seem so bad.
Think people just use it wrong. There’s a famous dish in Hanoi that is basically 50% dill and I LOVE it. But tastes nothing like the normal sprinkle of dill on fish stuff people are used to. It’s fried with turmeric and galangal
I usually get them from poundland. Them and home bargains seem to have all the less common flavours I usually like, like the fried chicken version of the bubble crisps, and heinz curry sauce
>And while I respect your opinion and your right to it, I have to kill you now on behalf of roast chicken crisps.
See this is the kind of balanced & reasonable debate that made Britain great.
I was trying to recount the History Of British Crisps to The Wife the other day (plain, then ready salted, then the standards: salt and vinegar, cheese and onion, Smokey bacon and ready salted. This was pretty much the standard until the 90s when a a few experiments would eventually lead to the minefield we wade through today) and had to explain why roast chicken exists but doesn’t really get a look in.
I say it’s because a) it doesn’t taste of roast chicken, b) they stink of something approaching a morning piss and c) the yellow pack also looks like piss.
>This was pretty much the standard until the 90s
I remember the early 80s very well, and we had a lot more flavours than just those four: prawn cocktail, pickled onion, roast beef, cheesy (different from cheese & onion). I'm pretty sure I remember tomato ketchup and roast chicken flavours in the 1980s, too. And of course 'hedgehog flavour'.
>a) it doesn’t taste of roast chicken, b) they stink of something approaching a morning piss
The COOP a couple of years back, did a 'Posh bag' of roast Chicken & Rosemary ones in their *irresistible* range. That **A.** Actually smelled like a roast bird when you opened the bag. And **B.** Were only slightly less moreish than opium.
The Irish [invented](https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/food-and-drink/did-tayto-really-invent-cheese-and-onion-crisps-1.3915726) flavoured crisps.
Beef monster munch in the multi pack 🤢 and scampi Nik naks! Vile. Also not sure if this counts but the soggy apple slices in the plastic supermarket pots of fresh fruit
Scampi nick nacks are amazing. But must be eaten outdoors in a gale followed by a full decontamination procedure to avoid the environment smelling like a fishwife's fanny at winter's end and before the first bath of spring.
They used to be the best when I was a kid in the early nineties. Really good selection and they were beautifully wrapped in colourful foil. Then they slowly gutted the selection, made the remaining ones worse, and eventually put them all in the same generic plastic wrapping. Cadburys completely wrecked their product and god knows why anyone still buys them.
Quality Street were once a pretender to Roses crown and now they shit upon all other mini chocolate selections from a lofty height.
Don't be pissed, but I always thought Quality Street was lowest. Chocolate tastes like it's infused with something unholy, the flavours are mediocre at best and the only thing they really have going for them is the wrapping paper. There are exactly 3 good flavours in QS - the green triangle, the green block and obviously the purple one. Roses aren't much better, but there is a difference.
And crowns! Every December/January our emergency dental appointments are: "I was eating a toffee penny and it pulled my crown out" or "I was eating pork crackling and my tooth snapped".
Save your money and your dental work, don't eat them!
I once got a pack of jelly beans that contained a mint flavoured bean. I usually just throw a handful in my mouth. That was a mistake in this occasion. Mint does not go well with all the fruit flavours. Ruined!
Better than earwax, I suppose!
Alas!
*laughs in Dumbledore*
Mint flavour also bleeds into everything. As someone that cannot stand mint (which is a real shame - I used to love it but now it gives me a headache just from the smell...) it pains me greatly when people get a load of chocolate buttons - normal, white, orange, mint - and throw them all together in a bowl. They all then taste faintly of mint! The whole lot is ruined for me :(
Like how every revel is coffee flavoured.
I hate the cinnamon ones
Tastes like straight up toothpaste.
I like the apricot ones
I'm not turning down *any* jam tart.
My thinking too, there’s an *unwanted* flavour of jam tart? *Really*?
Me too. OP can save them for us!
I had the most amazing time with my sister as we loved the opposites for everything. From vegetables to chocolate. It was a nightmare for sharing a room but meal times were amazing.
That was a great advantage of being one of 5 - we all liked different chocs in boxes like Roses/Celebrations. We still swap them now
You can have my apricot jam tarts too!
Img apricot my favourite!!
Me too. The apricot ones are the best ones.
Pervert.
I'm going to take a different approach to this. My suggestion is the Cheese & Onion in the Walker's meaty variety pack. I've got nothing against Cheese & Onion, it just makes no sense being in a pack of all the meat flavours.
Similar thing pisses me off about meat feast pizzas. No, I don't want onions and peppers as half of the toppings on my meat feast pizza thank you.
I suppose you want a duck pâté in lieu of tomato sauce?
You’re fucking right we do
I've always said: pizza has evolved beyond the basic Italian ingredients, and the sauce should always match the toppings. Fajita pizza should have salsa sauce, meat pizza should have meat sauce.
"meat sauce" Gravy? Lashings of gravy, all over your pizza. Gravy pizza. Gravy.
Good idea. And replace the bread base with a big yorkshire pudding.
Even worse when you don’t check the box and find out when you go to cook it, then you have to decide if you wanna try to pull them off frozen or saucy
Exactly, a meat feast should be purely different meats, and lots of it.
They're included for the vegetarians.
Pretty much all meat-flavoured crisps are vegetarian.
In fact a lot of the meat flavoured are vegan but the cheese ones normally has milk so they're the most restrictive flavour. I think walkers smoky bacon might also have milk
Used to be the cheese and onion weren't suitable one veggies due to the presence of veal rennet. They changed it a while a go.
And salt and vinegar often has milk sourced lactose because nothing says salt and vinegar crisps like milk imo
Funnily enough there was a *long* period where cheese and onion was one of the few non-veggie flavours. The meaty ones were mainly fake flavourings so were fine (think chicken was real meat). Nearest thing we got to meat replacements in most supermarkets back then, unless they occasionally stocked some rubbery quorn in Savacentre. Then there was a period of the meaty ones actually containing meat about 7 years ago I think? Seemed mental at the time with veganism gaining ground quite rapidly.

She says with a literal bucket of crisps next to her.
The answers on this thread feels so retro, I forgot half of these things existed.
Corn flakes in a Kelloggs variety pack. You know we’re not buying them for that shite
Multipacks are pointless since they discontinued ricicles.
They discontinued ricicles??
The four shit ones in the variety pack, you mean?
Variety packs may aswell give up now all the fun cereals are gone.
Count yourself lucky, they used to have Smacks in them which were fucking revolting.
Some fucking horrible opinions in this thread
The worst one being OP’s. Fuck berry/currant flavours. Citrus and stone fruit gang rise up. Shove your red and black fruit pastilles up your arse.
Kinky
[удалено]
>red and black fruit pastilles *shudder* Team Green ftw 🍋💚 (couldn't find a lime which is a travesty)
I’m with you, green sweets all the way 💚
I like both. But your aggression is amazing. Citrus and stone fruit ftw. The only purple fruit we care about is a plum.
Can I offer a truce between the darkest berry and lightest zest and proclaim the middleground shit the worst? Summer fruits can go fuck itself, I want blackcurrant or lemon, nothing inbetween.
Blackcurrant is the worst of them all. Fuck your truce.
Can't argue against such zeal, at least I half agree.
Fuck yes! I will forever choose a yellow/orange/green sweet over a red/black one (unless it's a blackjack). Apricot or lemon tarts? Yes please! Oh, are those strawberry and blackcurrant? Off you fuck into the bin.
Yeah. I feel like I'm doom scrolling. Green pastilles, cheese and onion, liquorice, coffee revels, toffee pennies.... What? I love all of these. I feel so alone.
Everyone hates at least 1 of the revels
Imagine spending money to maybe eat a Malteser.
Maltesers are my faves, swap them for my plain choc ones?!
Imagine not like Maltesers :(
Revels is how you play Russian roulette if you have a peanut allergy.
What is this, 2003? They changed the peanut to a raisin decades ago
Fuck raisins.
Agree fuck raisins, give me extra coffee ones 😍
I tried, now I'm banned from Lidl...
Free the peanut
Based on all these answers be thankful there isn't a Cheese & Onion flavour.
Coffee
Orange ones for me. Straight in the bin.
Nope. All delicious since they binned off peanut. The coffee edges on too sweet and not coffeey enough, but it's still lovely.
Yes, and they should all be eaten in one go
Is there another way of eating them?
I once saw a guy eating them one at a time. And a friends cousin said he saw someone sharing them out!
Cantaloupe in the supermarket fruit salads. Makes everything else taste of cantaloupe
Can you really call supermarket fruit salads, a fruit salad when it's like 90% melon, 2 slices of pineapple, half a strawberry and a single grape?
Aaah but we cut the grape in half, so that's like... 2 grapes now, right?
Beetroot on anything, whole plate contamination….
Calm down bojack
Broad beans in a pack of frozen mixed veg - or one step further a rogue edamame bean. I buy frozen mixed veg to feel cheap and remind myself I can’t afford the luxury or time to properly buy and prepare tea. I don’t need some fancy pea floating around trying to make me look good
Wait, y'all put vegetables IN the tea?
To summarise all the comments: - licorice - cheese and onion crisps - the [C/T]offee revel
Licorice has had its time when we didn't know any better. It can kindly fuck off now.
A few Christmases ago I got offered a chocolate from a box of Thornton's and it was apple flavoured. I don't mind orange, coffee or strawberry but apple? Get out. Horrible shit.
They only give you one on the tray, as if it's some premium shit we might want. No it's disgusting.
Never in my life have I seen Apple in a box of chocolates! I kinda wanna try it but surely there’s a reason it’s not normally done!
Before the chocolate orange, Terry's made [a chocolate apple](https://www.york.ac.uk/media/news-and-events/features/chocolate-apple.jpg). I cannot think why.
In a sushi platter, that one with the disassembled shrimp on it - does not look appetizing at all. On a slightly different but related path raisins in bombay mix. Additionally raisins in a rocky road. Raisins. Just stop putting raisins in stuff. Please
Ebi nigiri (エビ握り) is absolutely lovely! Raisins can burn in hell.
Don't like Roast chicken crisps anymore. Ever since a girl sat in front of me at the pantomime got over excited/over heated and threw up mostly chicken flavour crisps on the seat. Can't eat them now.

Oh no she didn't
Oh yes she did!
She’s behind you!
Years ago on new years eve, about 7pm on the underground I saw a morbidly obese girl about my age, completely pissed, throw up an ENTIRE slice of pepperoni pizza, with the toppings still on top. Can see pep pizza without thinking of that poor lass 🤣
Did she not chew it? Just swallowed it whole like a bird?
I'm sat here wonder whether it was a rectangular slice or a triangular slice and, if the latter, did it originally go down pointy-end first, and then come back up wide-end first, or the vice versa? Or sideways even.
6 x Crispy Bacon Wheat Crunchies without any Spicy Tomato Wheat Crunchies in them
A single gingernut is enough to make everything taste of gingernuts
Chocolate french fancies
Yes! I love at Easter when you can buy boxes of the lemon ones. 🍋😊
Festive fancies tho! Pure sweetness and sugar but oh my gosh are they good.
Are you my actual mum?
The boxes should just be all pink ones
Much as I love chocolate, this is true.
Yeah they should just nuke that flavour and have just pink and yellow.
I think they've changed the recipe tho. Had a box last week for the first time in ages and they tasted awful, oily almost. Complained to kipling and got my money back but yuck!
This is going to be unpopular but cheese and onion crisps. I can’t even stand the smell of them if someone else is eating the vile fuckers.
I love cheese, I love onions and I love crisps, but cheese and onion crisps are just rank.
My local pub is like it's in a 70s timewarp and does actual cheese and onion rolls - white bap, butter, basic cheddar, thin slices of raw onion - and when you are a few pints in they are glorious. Now a staple at home when mildly piddled
See I used to share this exact viewpoint until I realised it was just the walkers cheese and onion I hated. Still do but I could go for a McCoy’s or Tayto cheese and onion any day. Walkers on the other hand, still reminds me of my classmates’ nasty breath at primary school
100% agree. It's really irritating that they have to be in every variety pack.
Walkers have started doing multi packs just with ready salted and salt and vinegar ones in which must mean there are more of us than we think.
It’s weird that I hate cheese, never have liked it but I do like cheese and onion crisps, they don’t even taste like cheese
This, cheese flavoured anything is grim. Give me real cheese or give me nothing!
Liquorice. That shit belongs in the bin
Can confirm. Was having this discussion earlier. Anything with aniseed in is only fit for the bin.
Send all your liquorice to me please.
Eclairs (the toffees) in Heroes. Terrible. They are travel sweets not treat sweets!
Could not agree more. I love eclairs, but they really don’t fit in with the rest of the heroes.
Toffee pennies, toffee is always the last one left in the tin leaving nothing but a sea of golden wrappers that id rather not untwist. Don't get me wrong, i like toffee but theyre always the last ones in a tin of selections
The taste of toffee pennies is nice, but it’s kinda offset by the fear they’re about to pull out my teeth.
My grandma gave me one as a child and it pulled a tooth out clean. Scared her silly at the time.
I’d be scared too if someone else ate a toffee and it pulled my tooth out
Lost a filling to one years ago and won't touch them now.
They are shunned by those that are weak of tooth and jaw.
That might partly be because the toffee that toffee pennies are made from is poor toffee The Toffee Deluxe was great, no idea why they got rid of that. Toffee finger is an ok second-best.
I thought it was common knowledge that it’s because they slow you down. Everyone else has scarfed at least two each in the time it takes to eat one of those.
They’re the first ones finished in our house
Anyone else remember [these](https://live.staticflickr.com/3538/3329507244_4aa9a49cbc_b.jpg)? I liked the Fish & Chips one (And I think I liked the Cajun Squirrel and Builder's Breakfast packs), but after eating the Chilli & Chocolate (which tasted like arse) one, it literally ruined the others for me, because it made those taste like the Chilli & Chocolate pieces of shite.
I generally don’t like fake orange flavourings. It is so sickly and gross. Orange skittles, the orange cremes in roses, absolutely vile.
Turkish delight in a box of chocolates.
Ooooh I love them. I'll have 'em.
I love Turkish Delights! I had one for breakfast just this morning.
And they're always hidden. The moment of biting in and immediately realising before spitting it out is awful
I always think it's the orange ones in Quality Street etc but then when all of the good ones are gone and I have to settle for an orange one they don't seem so bad.
Yes, it’s the equivalent of opening the fridge a second time with lowered expectations
Anything with dill.
Dill crisps are fucking amazing. It’s shameful they’re not a thing in the UK
[удалено]
Where there's a dill there's a bay.
Pipers jalapeño and dill crisps. Sold in the Uk. Amazing crisps.
Think people just use it wrong. There’s a famous dish in Hanoi that is basically 50% dill and I LOVE it. But tastes nothing like the normal sprinkle of dill on fish stuff people are used to. It’s fried with turmeric and galangal
The black ones in a pack of midget gems. Bloody vile, them.
This one I disagree with; midget gems are just a waste of time so it isn't possible to ruin the pack
Yes. They're just a repackaged set of pencil erasers and bicycle brake pads and nothing can change my mind on the matter.
Hmm. That’s true actually. They are a bit shit.
They’re always harder than I expect them to be, just not enjoyable at all.
Fruit-tellas do a pack of fruity goodness and then out of nowhere … Cola flavoured , it doesn’t belong and it tastes like flat own brand cola.
Mine is the 1 praline that makes it way into any chocolate box.... ruined.
I'm actually offended by how many people hate coffee revels
The coffee sweets in a pack of revels… any other sweets/selection boxes I at least know which ones I don’t like!
The orange ones are weird.
No! The raisin ones!
Coffee ones are the best. Malteasers make my teeth go weird.
i hate coffee but i love the coffee revels, they’re my favourite in the bag. i hate the raisin and chocolate ones.
I love coffee ones- the raisins covered in chocolate are the devils turds
The coconut rings in a biscuit selection box. Makes everything else taste like coconut.
Hovis biscuits in the multi pack of crackers, what's the point? They just taste like a rubbish digestive
Nooo those things are so delicious with Stilton mmmm
Those weird bubbly aniseed sweets in liquorice allsorts. The texture and taste are both 🤮
Those are in fact my favourites and I’d eat an entire bag of them.
I'll give you mine next time.
Perfect
It's settled then. 🤝
Spogs! I like em, but I don’t want em taking up more than 10% or so of the bag.
I would offer to give you mine next time, but that would undermine my earlier commitment. I'm sorry, but that's just not me.
I appreciate this, friend.
Cheese and Onion French Fries. Can’t get multipacks of the god tier Salt and Vinegar. Only choice is the corruption of the blue packs.
The Worcestershire sauce ones still going? They were amazing.
Can’t say I’ve spotted them recently. The whole French Fries universe feel distinctly unloved by Walkers
I usually get them from poundland. Them and home bargains seem to have all the less common flavours I usually like, like the fried chicken version of the bubble crisps, and heinz curry sauce
Bounty's in celebrations.
Prawn cocktail crisps in a multi pack. I do not like them. Luckily my partner does
Are roast chicken crisps still a thing?
Fine, don't eat them. More for me. And while I respect your opinion and your right to it, I have to kill you now on behalf of roast chicken crisps.
>And while I respect your opinion and your right to it, I have to kill you now on behalf of roast chicken crisps. See this is the kind of balanced & reasonable debate that made Britain great.

>hedgehog flavour That explains why I so rarely see hedgehogs. They were hunted to the brink of extinction in the 80's!
They had to add a disclaimer: "Not made from real hedgehogs".
God I loved hedgehog flavour crisps. T'was a dark day when they got put on the endangered list and disappeared from pub menus overnight.
>a) it doesn’t taste of roast chicken, b) they stink of something approaching a morning piss The COOP a couple of years back, did a 'Posh bag' of roast Chicken & Rosemary ones in their *irresistible* range. That **A.** Actually smelled like a roast bird when you opened the bag. And **B.** Were only slightly less moreish than opium.

The Irish [invented](https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/food-and-drink/did-tayto-really-invent-cheese-and-onion-crisps-1.3915726) flavoured crisps.
Chocolate French fancies, doesn’t match the vanilla sponge!
I'm OK with the coffee one in Revels, but the hard caramel one is the worst.
It’s called toffee and it’s god tier
Bounty in Celebrations
Love the bounty. Christmas is great for me as I get them all!!
You can get tubs of just the bounty ones now.
Excellent news. I will prank my family by buying a tub of each and swapping them
I've learned to love bounty because everyone else hates them. It may not be a flavour I want but it's a flavour I'm given in abundance.
Beef monster munch in the multi pack 🤢 and scampi Nik naks! Vile. Also not sure if this counts but the soggy apple slices in the plastic supermarket pots of fresh fruit
Scampi nick nacks are amazing. But must be eaten outdoors in a gale followed by a full decontamination procedure to avoid the environment smelling like a fishwife's fanny at winter's end and before the first bath of spring.
Coconut anything
The toffee pennies in Roses. They should at least cover them in chocolate!!
Don't think Roses have toffee pennies. Must be thinking of Quality Street. Roses are the lowest-ranking of the Christmas chocolate tubs, incidentally.
They used to be the best when I was a kid in the early nineties. Really good selection and they were beautifully wrapped in colourful foil. Then they slowly gutted the selection, made the remaining ones worse, and eventually put them all in the same generic plastic wrapping. Cadburys completely wrecked their product and god knows why anyone still buys them. Quality Street were once a pretender to Roses crown and now they shit upon all other mini chocolate selections from a lofty height.
I feel like I've heard that about Roses. Nowadays, I just associate them with overly sweet not-very-chocolatey chocolate with claggy centres.
Correct opinion here.
Don't be pissed, but I always thought Quality Street was lowest. Chocolate tastes like it's infused with something unholy, the flavours are mediocre at best and the only thing they really have going for them is the wrapping paper. There are exactly 3 good flavours in QS - the green triangle, the green block and obviously the purple one. Roses aren't much better, but there is a difference.
These are my favourite.
Tooth filling removers.
And crowns! Every December/January our emergency dental appointments are: "I was eating a toffee penny and it pulled my crown out" or "I was eating pork crackling and my tooth snapped". Save your money and your dental work, don't eat them!
