Hi All,

I used to buy 6-8 tins every Christmas for staff and relatives but gave up when the tins started to 'shrink' and the price rise.
Now they just seem to be a rippoff every year
coffee cream for me terrible its no longer there :thumbsdown:
Stopped buying them years ago as part of the Nestlé boycott. Must admit from the odd one I've had since from other people I've not actually missed them.
Creme egg on the other hand I can unfortunately eat until I am sick
Strawberry delight for me as well though as GWR says i miss the coffee cream ones :'(

Now I know what to do with those unwanted ones I occasionally get given, :thumbsup: I can't stand them- half a one will make me feel ill.

I never buy Quality Street for that exact reason - too many damn toffees! :smiley-laughing:
Don't usually go for Cadbury's stuff either, certainly not Roses, but like EP above I can eat Creme Eggs in embarrassingly huge amounts :P

Hah, thought the modern tin was rubbish. Why can't these damn foreigners leave our sweets alone, eh? Should stick to milk shakes, damn them. Some of my favourites were:
Purple One (the original 'Purple One' with Brazil nut, replaced with hazelnut version)
Chocolate Strawberry Cream (now replaced with Strawberry Delight)
Chocolate Toffee Cup (now replaced with Caramel Swirl)
Hazelnut Cracknell (red wrapper)
Malt toffee
And bring back the soldier...
and Mackintosh's Caramac...
and Kit-Kats should have 'Rowntree' moulded in on them.. and wrapped in silver foil (all sizes!)
Orange cream and caramel round thing - can never choose between them ! :smiley-laughing:

Not as tasty as i remember though.... why can't they just leave stuff alone >:(
And while i'm at it - PLEASE put the salt back into pot noodles, they were acceptable before (for fishing) but now i wouldn't give it to the dog (or the fish..)!
Old style Caramac YUM YUM
also bring back the old style Wagon Wheels.
Anyone who's a fan of the purple one in the range have you tried the bar ?

Yesterday at Sainsburys here they where being sold off for 10p per bar as xmas is over :wave:
My favourite is Chocolate Toffee Finger
Has to be the Green Triangle - it was so popular that Nestlé used to bring special boxes out containg just those but I guess demand has dropped 'cos I can't remember seeing them for 3 years or so.
In a previous existence I used to sell aluminium foil to Mackintosh (Caramac), Rowntree/Nestlé, Cadbury, Mars etc and have been round all the plants. How some of the staff managed to avoid choccy overload was beyond me :smiley-laughing:

My mother & her friend some years ago visited York where they met two women who had worked at Terry's of York apparently the workers are allowed to have pick of the chocolates after a while they said they got fed up of them & overfaced. ::)
is it just me, or could several of the names potentially have been a double entendre.
Kinda like an unexpected feature or "thing" in an object/image/program www.eeggs.com (http://www.eeggs.com)
