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?

Raisins are shit, love the coffee ones, hate the orange ones.

Obnoxiousbeanie · 09/06/2019 23:27

The coffee ones are the best ones! I hate raisin ones, obviously, I’m not a monster. The toffee ones are rock hard and I have a painful jaw joint disorder so if I bite into one of those I have to return it to the bag for someone else Grin

Eminy it was a long time ago - 1980's possibly.

I love Revels and have a big bag every weekend. They are disappointing I agree but I like the disappointment - like Christmas as a child when that big present that looks so inviting turns out to be a box of old tat. Grin

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 09/06/2019 23:38

Mmm revels

Disappointing when a hoped for coffee ends up being an orange ☹️

I'll eat any spares that you lot don't want 😋

Revels aren't what they used to be. They all taste a bit cheap and samey now.

REAL revels roulette would be the addition of a cheddar one, or a tiny meatball one, or pickled caper, for vegans.

4yearsnosleep · 09/06/2019 23:55

Love the coffee ones, I'd eat a whole bag of just those Grin

I dislike the toffee ones

MiniMum97 · 09/06/2019 23:59

Oh I love the coffee and raisin ones. Don't like coconut and chocolate myself.

augustusglupe · 10/06/2019 00:02

Revels have always been my favourite and I love the coffee ones. The last bag I bought was full of horrible little toffee ones. I was so disappointed!! Not bought a bag since..

TinklyLittleLaugh · 10/06/2019 00:02

Russian roulette chocolate is madness. I was recently at a hobby thing where someone handed around a box of chocolates. Everyone found it very amusing that I refused to choose one without the little illustrated menu, “Go on Tink, live on the edge,”

I was quite taken aback by people choosing chocolates blind.

(Yes. Like a pp I can identify Revels).

TheRattleBag · 10/06/2019 00:17

I didn't even realise that they still made Revels!

BenWillbondsPants · 10/06/2019 09:18

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

I bought some fizzy cola bottles the other day for the first time in years. The coating was too sour, but worse, the jelly bit was really weird. A bit too soft and sticky - not nice mouthfeel at all.

vampirethriller · 10/06/2019 10:13

When did they have coconut ones?? I missed that!
I love the coffee ones. I like the raisins too. My only issue is how bloody small the bags are now.

PineappleSeahorse · 10/06/2019 10:14

The coffee revels are the best.

sueelleker · 10/06/2019 13:48

Am I dreaming, or did there used to be a Turkish Delight one in there?

ScrambledSmegs · 10/06/2019 13:52

I love the coffee ones. I thought the raisins were discontinued as the last bag we had, there weren't any. But far too many toffee ones instead.

BenWillbondsPants · 10/06/2019 13:53

@sueelleker I think you're dreaming but that would be awesome, I love Turkish delight. Dairy Milk used to have turkish delight but they replaced it with an apple abomination!

I used to love revels. Stopped buying them when they got rid of the peanut one and added in minging raisin. Even worse when coffee became raspberry. Didn't even know they'd changed back.

StormTreader · 10/06/2019 13:59

I wish they'd rid of the rubbish toffee ones, by far the worst AND they're heavy for their size so you get even fewer of the other ones.
