How much would pay for Quality Street to be how it used to be?

[Healingsfall]

I'd imagine a tin from the 80s would cost £20 - £30 in today's money, if they reverted the sweets back to how a tin was would you pay it?

I remember them being such a luxury, even the wrappers were luxury! Now they're just cheap, tacky, and taste awful 😔 I'd definitely pay a premium to have a luxury item at Christmas!

Is this a result of the consumer not willing to pay more despite the costs to make the product going up or is this the result of a company putting profits before product quality? (No pun intended 😆)

I'd pay £20 for a tin. I'd resent it, but I'd pay it and enjoy every mouthful (and save the lovely glinty wrappers)

I probably wouldn't pay that much, but I would love to see/smell one of the old style tins with the proper wrappers and everything.

I would hate for the wrappers to come back, so disappointed people really don't seem to care about positive environmental changes companies are making. It will be more expensive for the company too so isn't for their benefit it has been done for environmental benefits

Less than I would pay for 80s Roses which were better and are shite now

When clearing out my mum's house I found 2 old tins one is really large. I used to use it for taking my ingredients to school for my domestic science class.

Nothing. I would never buy them. They seem a throwback to my childhood.

I'd pay £20 for a tin if the chocolates were a real luxury. Maybe it is the consumers fault for wanting the same quality at the same price, even though the product is more expensive to make?

Well I'd pay the prices they're asking now - whereas I won't be buying the disgusting cheap chocolates in little tubs for £6 that they are currently.

In the late 70s a tin of Quality Street weighed 5.5lbs (2.5Kg) and cost £4.99 which is about £26 in today’s money.

Today a 600g tub is around £6, so it’s roughly 1/4 of the size and 1/4 of the cost. But generally a similar overall price, which is surprising.

I'm OK with the new wrappers. But would like to see all the old chocs back (even the cracknell) plus of course all the caramel ones that seems to have vanished

That's interesting. Maybe they should have kept the chocs the same but do it as a pic n mix like you get in John Lewis so the customer can pay as little or as much as they like.

I'd pay £26 and more for the lovely big metal tin, actual chocolate so that when you opened the lid you got that distinctive lovely festive smell of chocolate, foil and cellophane, the old selection and the old style wrappers. Such a glorious memory.

I don't bother buying them now, it's too disappointing.

about £20, i don’t buy them now as hate the wrappers
