To ask what the secret is behind the Maltesers box?

Just that really: what is the box design all about? Why is there the circular hole? What are the perforated quarter circles for? Is it all some advanced alien technology or am I just too dense to understand a basic cardboard box?

And for some reason malteasers always taste better out of the box Grin

The design stops them falling out when you chuck the box across the room to your husband (and vice versa) because you're to lazy to get up and pass them properly!

Not in my experience, but I'm told it happens. It could be an urban myth.

The holes on the corner make it easier to access perferation and the hole in the middle makes it easier to lift up perferated section. Now wanting malteasers Grin

I buy the big boxes. actually DH buys them for me, he's a keeper

I don't like sharing either but even I have to admit that eating one of those to myself is a step to far so I allow my lovely husband a small handful before I make him chuck them back at me! Grin

Dunno but it clesely has some sort of holographic thing where you think there are about 3000 left and then there's only 5.

The circular hole must be so that you can tip just one out at a time, though I don't know why you'd want to do that...Grin

I'm very sorry to those who are now pining for maltesers but unable to get out to buy any.
I'll think of you whilst I eat mine Wink

Oh dear I must be the only one who thinks they taste horrible out the box lately! They literally just taste like the actual cardboard box now! They never used to though!
