YANBU. Perfectly reasonable to be annoyed.
We all like those ones in this house but their is never enough in boxes or tins.Drives us nuts.We actually have those before when not enough so dc's can't argue.

And why don't they makes large ones?
They dod the big purple, the green (does anyone actually eat those ones? and orange crunch which is just wrong!
The best present I ever got was from a boyfriend years ago. My valentines day present was a heart shaped tine with just strawberry and orange cremes! He'd bought boxes of Roses just to get my favourites.

Ask them to send me some. I'm not hormonal so feel a bit cheeky for asking.
I get 2 large tins at Christmas and sort them out into ones I like and ones I don't. My parents get the ones I don't. I can't stand the purple ones

Nooooo IMO they should do a "soft centres" only box!

If you do complain and get free chocs let me know - I'll be there faster than you can say "thankyou very much for my soft centres....."

Remember the uproar when Roses tried to get rid of the soft centres?
I'd have bought shares in Quality street if they did.
Soft centres are the best!

{{mumbles to herself 'only after eating them all, i'm not sharing, oh no!'}}

Roses are rubbish anyway. Buy Quality Street instead.

Oh hang on, then you get too many bloody toffee ones...

Aha I think I may be formulating a plan for a choc exchange! Send all your chocs to me and I will sort them into categories and then send them back out according to taste (after taxing a few, and I'll have to check that they aren't poisoned etc...)

I like the toffee fingers. But the Pennies are just evil, they are designed to damage teeth.

No chance Smallone. I don't give up my chocolate up for no-one. Not even ds, he can get his own.!

quality street are rubbish, apart from the strawberry and orange softy's!

anyway, Asda had a biggish box of Roses for £2 rolled back from £3.36 or something, it would have been rude not to purchase at least 1 box!
