Coffee and orange revels can bugger off. Raisins are fab. Lots more raisins please.

The raisin ones are my favourites !
I prefer raisin Poppets though (if they still do them!) as you can get a box of all raisin ones and not run the risk of getting those disgusting coffee or orange ones...

I have an almost 100% success rate at picking only the coffee and orange Revels. Occasionally, I am fooled by a slightly undersized Malteser one, but it's easy to avoid the raisin and caramel ones, which do not deserve their place in the bag.

I love the raisin ones but the chewy caramel ones can bugger off, getting stuck in my teeth - yuck.

SlinkyDogDash · 10/08/2019 23:06

I love revels. The chewy caramel are annoying as they give me jaw ache, coffee not ideal either but I'm greedy so I still eat them.

I love the raisin ones, orange ones and maltesers.

Raisin ones are fine. Coffee and orange ones are horrible.

Love shell-less minstrels

Hate raisins

Not keen on orange or coffee, but weirdly, have them at the same time, and they are rather nice!

Think the worst thing about revels is that orange and coffee - even though I like both - just don’t go together.

Toffee and Orange are my favourites. The shell-less minstrel always feels a bit of a disappointment and the maltesers have NO place in my packet of Revels

Heratnumber7 · 11/08/2019 10:06

What you all need to do is eat one revel, one minstrel, and one malteaser. All at the same time.
Bliss.

They replaced the coffee ones with strawberry ones for a (glorious) while.
It was magical, I ate loads of them. :-)

Loopytiles · 11/08/2019 13:58

That would work better.

Used to love this Revels advertGrin

The raisin ones are the best ones
Yum yum yum

The shell less minstrels are galaxy counters!! The only historic reason to buy Revels imo. Now they do counters on their own, revels should be binned

ItProtectsMyHead · 11/08/2019 15:23

I've just bought one of those sharing size bags and eaten about half of it. I blame this thread.

rockingthelook · 12/08/2019 21:17

I've definitely learnt my lesson, can't cope with bad surprises, now sticking to Buttons, Maltesers, Minstrels, Galaxy Counters, and my new favourite bite size After 8's, in fact, anything but Revels :)
