AIBU?

Quality Street tin

94 replies

Lagoonablue · 23/12/2014 15:59

We have a tin of Quality Street unopened which we are taking to SIL's. WIBU to prise off the Sellotape around the tin, steal a couple of strawberry cremes, then replace lid and tape?

Is it unreasonable? If so I am! Have just done it! I have no guilt. The sweets were delicious!

Take out all the strawberry cremes, then if anyone says anything, fake a shocked look and say how ridiculous it is that they forgot to put any in at all......

AuntieStella · 23/12/2014 16:01

That's very, very naughty.

And perhaps I shouldn't have opened this thread, as I'm trying to hold off opening our tin for another 24 (if not 48) hours.

londonrach · 23/12/2014 16:01

No yabu by the fact you didnt share those strawberry creams. You know the rule in mn terms and conditions.....rule 2154 all strawberry creams share be shared with mn member londonrach .

Lagoonablue · 23/12/2014 16:03

I am suprised I didn't do this before. They have sat in the kitchen cupboard for 3 weeks! I daren't do it agin though. DH is in and would be appalled! Ha ha!

The tins ain't what they used to be, sigh.

OnTheThursdayOfChristmas · 23/12/2014 16:04

Ha, this is exactly what my sis and I did many moons ago!
Wetook them out, seller aped it back up and thoroughly enjoyed our mothers consternation when she opened them - the strawberry ones are her favourite

Neither DP nor I like them so this year I've taken them out and wrapped them up as part of her xmas present

Theorientcalf · 23/12/2014 16:05

I'd be quite glad if you did remove the strawberry creams, or anything orange.

ShadowKat · 23/12/2014 16:06

Did you know that you can now buy little bags of chocolates filled with the Quality Street strawberry cremes?

If your conscience starts troubling you or you want more delicious strawberry cremes you could always go and buy a bag or two of those.

WiseKneeHair · 23/12/2014 16:06

YANBU as the strawberry creams are rank.
Now, if uou had taken the toffees out YWBVVVU.

I know shadow i know! (Hides something behind the cushion). Agree i dont think they taste as nice as they used to.

RebeccaMumsnet · 23/12/2014 16:09

Well, unless you're my SIL and then

londonrach · 23/12/2014 16:10

Mnhq recbecca get yourself down to superdrug, tesco, poundland where a bag of strawberry creams (some from roses) is available for you. No nasty toffees!

GemmaTeller · 23/12/2014 16:11

Actual full bags of Strawberry Cremes?

Poundland have them

RebeccaMumsnet · 23/12/2014 16:14

but do they only have 5 in the bag or are we talking BIG FAT bag?

Is it worth a trip out, is what i'm saying

ShadowKat · 23/12/2014 16:15

They sell the strawberry creme bags in our local Co-op and the little Londis corner shop near us.

Haven't looked in the supermarkets yet.

londonrach · 23/12/2014 16:16

For a £1 you get a certain weight of strawberry creams unpolluted by those toffees. I think i got around 12-15 but cant remember...worth a trip Rebecca mnhq x

DidoTheDodo · 23/12/2014 16:19

We need some kind of MN Quality Street swap thread.

FollowTheStarship · 23/12/2014 16:20

Why has no one mentioned the green triangles? Strawberry cremes pah.

Storytown · 23/12/2014 16:21

The bit I don't understand is how it's possible to have the lid off the tin and only eat 2.

I'd have to find a shop before the scheduled trip to SILs or present her with an empty tin

Perissa · 23/12/2014 16:21

Saw the bags of just strawberry cremes in superdrug too

FollowTheStarship · 23/12/2014 16:21

We got our tin on Sun and opened it yesterday. 4yo DD has already developed a taste for the green triangles. On the one hand, nice that she has inherited my good taste. OTOH - they were miiiiiiiiine!

Except of course it's not a tin, but a new-fangled plastic tub.

Lagoonablue · 23/12/2014 16:22

What?. I haven't seen the special strawberry only packets. I will need to go and find some. I also like the Orange creams. No one else does so I get them all!

londonrach · 23/12/2014 16:23

Lagoon i think you can get the orange creams in bags too. Superdrug and poundshop your best option!
