I think they did, yes

Justkeeprollingalong · 23/02/2019 18:22

Yes they did. Shades of brown and orange.

Bubblysqueak · 23/02/2019 18:22

I'm sure they did, with a little hole the chocolates came out of.

I don't remember that

StealthPolarBear · 23/02/2019 18:22

Not a big box like maltesera but a little box like nerd iirc

missyB1 · 23/02/2019 18:23

Yes I remember revels in a box - at least I think I do! 🤔

AnyFucker · 23/02/2019 18:23

Oh yes ! I remember now. A small box, not like the larger Maltesers boxes.

The same type of box that Poppets come in

bizzey · 23/02/2019 18:23

Oh pheww ..was telling ds this ..then doubted myself.
Much prefered the box to the bag ..now

I don't think they did but the first TV advert for them showed a typical box of chocolates and then a bag of revels being tipped into the (emptied) chocolate box that couldn't then be closed ie. you get more revels in a bag than you'd get in a box of chocolates.
Yes, I am really that old Grin

I've just googled and none of the images look right. Was there something else, not revels but similar

StealthPolarBear · 23/02/2019 18:25

Ah am I thinking of poppets.

maddiemookins16mum · 23/02/2019 18:27

Yes they did. loved them.

bizzey · 23/02/2019 18:27

Humm i did not buy the poppet size box !
I was thinking of the Maltesers size with a press in z opening .

I think I’m thinking of poppets too, actually!

AnyFucker · 23/02/2019 18:29

I love coffee and orange revels

elibee · 23/02/2019 18:29

I definitely remember them in poppets type boxes but they maybe came in bigger boxes around christmas time?

HeathRobinson · 23/02/2019 18:30

@BikeTart - I remember that advert!

bizzey · 23/02/2019 18:30

Ahhh yes ...the advert put them in a box !!!
(What did they come in then ...a bag ..like now ? )

I can very vaguely remember revels in a box but I'm not sure if I'm mixing them up with poppets.

BikeTart · 23/02/2019 18:44

Revels - 'the box of chocolates in a bag'.

TheFuckfaceWhisperer · 23/02/2019 18:44

I love coffee and orange revels

Me too, I give them a little squish between my fingers first to make sure it’s a cream and not filling dislodging toffee Grin

Lollypop27 · 23/02/2019 18:46

Didn’t they come in boxes like this smarties one?

‘Revels, there’s bags more for everyone!’

I’m pretty sure it was poppets in a box. I remember bags of revels as a kid and I’m in my early 40’s. Evil things 🤢
