So, just cracked open the first tub of Christmas chocolates of the season, as we're putting up the tree today and what to I discover?

That Mars, the ignorant bastards, have seen fit to stop putting Galaxy Truffles into Celebrations. I know. And what do you think they have seen fit to replace them with?

Fucking Twix. This is an affront frankly. How can they even think the two are comparable?

What next? Malteasers evicted to make room for Topics?

AIBU? Well, am I?

the bastards!

livinonaprayer · 04/12/2011 12:12

YANBU the two are incomparable! Let's start a campaign!

rainbowinthesky · 04/12/2011 12:13

You are not be. DD opened a box of celebrations and I asked for the galaxy truffles only to discover there are none. Very disappointing. THe twix is a poor replacement.

Xmas Shock

This happened a few months ago and it is why I shall no longer be buying Celebrations to eat at Xmas (or any other time) this year. They even had the gall to celebrate "the return of the Twix" like it wasn't a travesty.

Galaxy Truffle is my favourite. And I am coeliac so can't eat the Twix's, so I'm gutted right along with you. The bastards.

SayYuleNowSayWhipTheReindeer · 04/12/2011 12:26

Bastards. I'll sign the petition.

GiserableMitt · 04/12/2011 12:28

I felt the same when Revels, the bastards, removed the coffee flavoured ones. I live abroad so only get them when I visit (once a year).

And 'up yours' to all the gits who voted them out of the packet. Angry

TeapotAndBiscuitTin · 04/12/2011 12:29

Yanbu. I was gutted when I opened our tub. The truffles were my favourites Xmas Angry

KoPo · 04/12/2011 12:31

I love the little Twix's, but for gods sake not at the expense of the galaxy truffles.

Those were the best thing in the tub!

roulade · 04/12/2011 12:32

I'm still pee'd off that they replaced the Topics with poxy Milky Way! Now that was a huge travesty!

TinyDiamond · 04/12/2011 12:33

This is SHOCKING. boycott

HecateGoddessOfTheNight · 04/12/2011 12:37

They've done WHAT?

Evil bastards. Wink

I only buy Celebrations for the truffles I open them alone and hide all the truffles Grin

May I hazard a guess that twix is cheaper to produce than the truffle (and milky way easier than the topic)

Not that they'll reduce the price, of course...

HecateGoddessOfTheNight · 04/12/2011 12:38

cheaper, not easier!

rainbowinthesky · 04/12/2011 12:40

Topic was much nicer than the milky way. WHo on earth would choose milkway over topic?
We wont be buying anymore.

Gargula · 04/12/2011 13:21

YANBU at all.
They are clearly bastards who have no taste.
I wept a little bit when I realised there were no Galaxy Truffles in my Celebrations box - i had to forage through and eat all the maltesers to make me feel better.

randommoment · 04/12/2011 13:25

The upside is that I WAS going to buy a couple of tubs, but your timely warning has saved me. So thank you for that bit.
Shame only really big shops stock the Galaxy Truffle bar!

AnyoneforTurps · 04/12/2011 13:25

YABU. Truffles are sickly, Twixes are much nicer.

Trills · 04/12/2011 13:28

YABU to buy Celebrations. What's to celebrate about a mini mars bar? Get some proper special shiny jewel-coloured Quality Street instead. Or Roses if you must. But not Celebrations and not Minature Heroes.

Gargula · 04/12/2011 13:34

Turps are you crazy??

FabbyChic · 04/12/2011 13:35

boo hooo if that is all that is wrong with your life think yourself lucky and stop moaning

upahill · 04/12/2011 13:35

I've never had a truffle or a twix ever.

Toobluntforboss · 04/12/2011 13:36

Totally agree-was gutted last weekend when we opened ours and discovered what they'd done! Angry

aStarInStrangeways · 04/12/2011 13:37

YABU. The humble Twix is far superior to that horrible Galaxy rubbish.
