The Selection That Can Just Go Right Off!

There are 2 chocolate French Fancies in my Tupperware container. I'm hoping they'll just go away somehow but every time I open the box they're still sitting there like 2 unflushable turds in the toilet.
Same goes for the rubbery "toffee" pennies in lack of Quality Street. The ones you can suck all day but get stuck in your teeth the second you try to chew them.
And don't get me started on the coughy Revel.

Do makers of 'selections' deliberately put in a crap one to make the others seem nicer by comparison?

I'll have the fancies and toffees. The best of each selection as far as I'm concerned!

The chocolate fancies are the best ones.

As are the toffee pennies as all other Quality Street sweets are awful.

You’re quite wrong, OP. Quite wrong.

I'll have the French fancies and toffee pennies. The coffee revels can do one though, I'll agree with you on that.

Bounties in Celebrations. Like the guests that stay too long at Christmas.

Éclairs in rubs of Heroes. They aren't even the same. Heroes are mini versions of chocolate bars. Éclairs are not. Why pollute my tub of chocolate with bloody toffees.

When we go to the cinema we play the Revels challenge - you each take a sweet and if you get an orange or coffee that's an instant fail. You could try that and make the loser do a forfeit?

Mysterian · 16/10/2022 20:02

The Eclairs are an anomaly aren't they? Like The accordion player in a rock band. They just make no sense.

I have heard from the always reliable source of an anonymous poster on the internet that the staffroom bin at the Revels factory is full of bitten coughy ones.
