of the people who make Roses?

A bit late now I know, but I've been eating Quality Street all Christmas (Nestle, whatever, blah blah) because they have nicer fruit creams.

At a friend's house tonight eating some Roses, and I notice that 'Golden barrel' and 'Caramel Velvet' are both liquid caramel in milk chocolate.

The only difference I can tell is that one is square and the other rectangular.

Yeah, it's outrageous. And there are't enough pink ones either.

LaWeaselMys · 08/01/2011 21:59

I heard that a few years back when everyone started being broke they cut down on the size and quality of selection boxes and took out all the expensive chocolates, which is why there's no fruit and nut in minature heroes anymore.

Feenie · 08/01/2011 21:59

They should never have taken the Bournville ones out.

LoopyLoopsIsNoLongerFestive · 08/01/2011 22:01

No-one else likes fruit creams.

TrillianAstra · 08/01/2011 22:11

More for me then.

Is that it, everyone like caramel ones so they made there be twice as many?

If it bothers you that much, give them to me, I'll deal with the problem Grin

poorbuthappy · 08/01/2011 22:18

Feenie, who took the bournville ones out?
they are still in heroes!

GotArt · 08/01/2011 22:24

Sorry, but lol... it is rather funny. Grin You should right the company and ask, forwarding them to this thread. Watch out for the Roses that may show up at your door.

GotArt · 08/01/2011 22:25

'Write' the company, I mean.

giraffesCantDirtyDance · 08/01/2011 22:26

Yes I noticed that about toses.

Crap.

TheCrackFox · 08/01/2011 22:32

I will not hear a bad word about Roses. Every year my granddad used to buy us a box for Christmas so they remind me of him.

skankyVswish · 08/01/2011 22:34

Coffee and fruit creams are my faves! Send them my way, SkankyV

TrillianAstra · 08/01/2011 22:46

'SkankyV' sounds like a surprisingly-honest rapper name

I never noticed as I only eat the straeberry creams and nutty ones Grin but I do miss the coffee ones :(

LoopyLoopsIsNoLongerFestive · 08/01/2011 23:04

Yes, only the caramel or toffee ones are edible. Fruit or coffee creams are vile and should be banned.

GotArt, write to, surely? Unless you're American? (Total tangent, does anyone know why Americans drop their prepositions?)

WhatsWrongWithYou · 08/01/2011 23:06

Don't know who used to do the green triangles, but I don't remember seeing any this Christmas. Sad

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 08/01/2011 23:07

Yes, yes, I agree HOWEVER everybody knows the creams stay in the tin, no bugger wants them, tho my cat is rather partial to a coffee cream whenever he can get his paws on one Hmm

Figgyrolls · 08/01/2011 23:08

if you want coffee creams, try m and s selection box - had so many didn't know what to do with the fuckers!

mommmmyof2 · 08/01/2011 23:11

lifeinCrimbo · 08/01/2011 23:27

TrillianAstra · 08/01/2011 23:34
