To ask what the hell have they done to Quality Streets?

[Pigflewpast]

Even the Purple One, tasteless, how? Why? When? And what can I eat instead?

[peppatax]

YABU for opening them so close to Christmas and not asking this question 2 weeks ago when I did

[MillionToOneChances]

They're awful. We're choosing a different type next year. End of an era

[ShelaghTurner]

Nooooo don't say that! I bought the extra big tin!

[Olympiathequeen]

Why? What have they done to them Mmmmmm purple one!

[ArmySal]

Agreed, they taste awful now.

[maybeshesawomble]

Completely agree. When the purple ones and green triangles aren't good something's gone horribly wrong. And don't get me started on the new Roses wrappers...

[cherrycrumblecustard]

Yeah

I'm not massively into Christmas traditions but this one does make me feel a bit sad.

[dawnc27]

what??? say it isnt so!!! i have 3 tubs of the bleeders just for the purple ones ffs

[Rainydayspending]

Boo!

[mumonashoestring]

Given up on them, they're vile now. Sainsburys selection tub or the big selection box that M&S do for £5 are much better.

[Pigflewpast]

Peppa I only got given them today or would have warned people earlier. Purple ones as we loved them are dead, soft and nothingy. Luckily DH has just found a spare chocolate orange ( guess that's one less present ds is getting from Santa.

[alotlikeChristmas16]

Yes, not that keen on the Waitrose selection box though, sure that used to be better!

[LadyMonicaBaddingham]

Totally understand. We've got Toffifee and Jelly Tots this year

[GlitterGlue]

Have they put bloody palm oil in them?

[MrsMattBomer]

I've never liked the purple ones.

We've bought Miniature Heroes this year.

[FrameyMcFrame]

Yes I was most disappointed with my tub.
Got a cadburys hero some now but it's just not the same.
I loved the old tins, still have a few in the garage...

[MerylPeril]

We also scoffed eaten Milk Tray and Terrys All Gold - both tasteless

[DramaInPyjamas]

Roses and Milk Tray have been messed about with too much as well - all the old favourites gone and replaced.

[Pigflewpast]

Ooh Toffiffee, not had those for years. Just looked, yes there's bloody palm oil in there. Presumably in place of whatever made them so good before. MrsMatt you should run - how could you not like the Purple One?! They've messed with Heroes as well I think 😱

[Marcipex]

Quality Street is rubbish now, even the fudge is tasteless and watery.

Roses are now so bad, I actually spat the coffee one out. And I love coffee creams. Also, the new wrappers are awful.We liked the coloured cellophane.
We've already said we're never buying them again.

[dataandspot]

I bought 4 lots of cadburys heroes. Ate some of one box and they were awful and had me up in the night with a bad stomach.

I have rung the number on the box and they have sent a Freepost label to send them back and are going to refund me.

Only twirl and snowbites taste OK to me now!

[Serialweightwatcher]

I've refused to buy them since they got rid of my favourite toffee for some grotty honeycomb thing a few months ago - years ago they were lovely but not been keen for a while anyway so that was a gamechanger! Having celebrations and heroes now

[Marcipex]

mum Thanks for the tip re Sainsburys, I'll try those.

[GrainOfSalt]

Yup, gave up on Quality Street a few years ago and then had a purple one yesterday when offered at work - certainly did not make me rush out and buy them :( I want retro Quality Street - when they were QUALITY)

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

Luckily DH has just found a spare chocolate orange

Chocolate oranges have gone to shit too...
