I'm very vexed about my Revels

Family bag - looking forward to it all day Far too many fucking raisins (I do not want fruit in my chocolate) and I've never met a human who likes the coffee ones.

I still can't quite get over them replacing the coconut and peanut ones with the above shite and have no idea why I still buy them. But they're Revels and I like a wee surprise now and again.

So tell me, what product do you still buy even if you don't think it's as good as it used to be?

Love the coffee ones! They are the best ones! Send them all to me

anitagreen · 09/06/2019 22:19

Sorry but I love the coffee ones they make the packet!

SavoyCabbage · 09/06/2019 22:20

I can't tell you how much I want some Revels now.

I recently had revels traybake - So eat bite tasted a bit different !

BentBaastard · 09/06/2019 22:23

I miss the peanut ones.

There is no Russian Roulette with Revels. The practised eye can tell them apart immediately. Large, regular spherical shape = the accursed Maltesers. Next largest, irregular sphere shape = orange. The coffee ones are 2/3 the size of the orange ones. Raisins = pebble shaped. Toffee (rubbish) = small and kind of spherical.

They have ruined them. They used to be my favourite treat, now they are just a disappointment. The peanuts really complimented the coffee and orange creams, the bloody raisins have ruined it.

FogCutter · 09/06/2019 22:32

I love the raisin ones.

@Iamthewombat but in the dark, in the cinema...

Dieu · 09/06/2019 22:34

I love the toffee Revels best, but the Maltesers are a disappointment every time.

VetOnCall · 09/06/2019 22:35

I love the coffee ones. I can't get Revels here in Canada, cinema trips are no longer the same!

Rockbird · 09/06/2019 22:36

Please put all your raisin ones in an envelope and send to me at once. Coffee and orange revels can fuck right off.

Thatnovembernight · 09/06/2019 22:47

I love all of the revels apart from the peanut ones which are only meh. Quality Street is a disappointment now as they stopped doing the coffee ones Grin

BenWillbondsPants · 09/06/2019 22:48

@Iamthewombat No, no, no! You can't look - that's cheating!!!

All you coffee revel lovers are making me question if mumsnet is really the place I thought it was. You think you know a site and then something like this happens. Not gonna lie, I'm a little shaken up.

I like the coffee ones..

MyDcAreMarvel · 09/06/2019 22:53

Coffee revels are vile, and I love actual coffee.

Deafdonkey · 09/06/2019 22:53

I must confess I am also a little perplexed to learn that some mumsnetters covet coffee flavored revels.

PoppadomPeach · 09/06/2019 23:04

I love the raisin Revels! Coconut were amazing too Sad

Does anyone remember Mars Planets? Little balls which were each a different component of a mars bar (chocolate, nougat and caramel) - I miss those Sad

Gertie75 · 09/06/2019 23:06

I love the coffee and orange ones too, although I hate actual coffee.

I don't see the point of the rest as they can be bought in other bags separately.

Shodan · 09/06/2019 23:14

Right-minded people like the coffee ones. Only jolly silly people liked the coconut ones. I bet they like Bounty bars too Envy (

Onehellofaride · 09/06/2019 23:17

I like them all and love a bag of revels! You can tell which one is which though except with the orange and coffee ones.

XXVaginaAndAUterus · 09/06/2019 23:19

I like the coffee AND the raisin ones. The stupid hard toffee ones can bugger off, though.

EmmaC78 · 09/06/2019 23:21

I forgot there used to be a coconut one. They were lovely. Ah the good old days.

Eminybob · 09/06/2019 23:25

I’m old and have no memory of there ever being coconut revels? When are we talking about here?

BrieAndChilli · 09/06/2019 23:26

Can’t stand the coffee ones.

While ago a bought a bag of random chocolate factory second type things, it was quite a mystery so we bought a bag to try. Mostly biscuity or marshmallow covered things but it also included chocolate covered gummy bears. They were wierd as fuck. I like gummy bears and I like chocolate but the two together are horrible!
