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?

Galaxy chocolate tastes like plastic. Long live the Twix Grin

WinterSleeps · 04/12/2011 16:21

No Galaxy Truffles?

Bugger.

(Thinks to self... give newly bought tin to SIL for Christmas)

lemons.. lemonade.

Is it some kind of Universal Law Of Humanity that everyone hates the toffee pennies? ( Quality Street related thread hijack, sorry Blush )

Crosshair · 04/12/2011 18:07

yanbu.

I like toffee pennies!

MissPentChristmasBudget · 04/12/2011 18:13

YANBU OP, I love the Galaxy truffles. They remind me of the Galaxy truffle eggs they used to do at Easter. Yummy.

Yabu the truffles are crap, would rather have the twix! But malteaser are the best! And snickers and bounty and topic!

AmberNectarine · 04/12/2011 19:24

It's like the Roses coffee cream debacle all over again...

Eek, just looked at Wikipedia. How long do you reckon it'll be before Galaxy announce their name change to Dove?

Or is the soap the reason that hasn't happened already?

mummybookworm · 04/12/2011 19:30

I would also like to know why they stopped making the truffle eggs. Yum they were good!

KittyFane · 04/12/2011 19:48

Swop Bounty for Twix and I'd be happy.
As it is OP, YANBU. It's shocking news.

nickelbabe · 04/12/2011 19:50

YABU - i fucking hate the truffles.
i never eat htem, and i always try to palm them of on someone else.

thank fuck, i say, twix is much nicer.

SnapesMistressofMerriment · 04/12/2011 19:55

Am Xmas Angry truffles are the best!

Toffee pennies are acceptable but would be better surrounded by choccie

hocuspontas · 04/12/2011 20:03

I probably will not buy now if truffles are gone. Replaced with Twix. Shock Who came up with that? Was it Michael Gove? Bounty and Maltesers are my favourites but would always buy Heroes first. So in order, Heroes, Roses, Celebrations. Quality Street - never.

Sudaname · 04/12/2011 20:19

I have never ever forgiven Cadburys for dropping the lime barrel from their box of chocolates Angry - so l hear you. I will sign your petition - l know those feelings of homicidal tendencies outrage and anger towards the office bods bastards who decided on this.

beachholiday · 04/12/2011 20:48

had completely forgotten the lime barrel! they were gorgeous.

bet galaxy are going to release a seperate box of galaxy truffles/ mixed galaxy sweets (there are enough flavours to galaxy to make a whole box now).

AnyoneforTurps · 04/12/2011 21:02

You lot are deranged. Lime barrels were vile

AnyoneforTurps · 04/12/2011 21:04

hocuspontas - I think you're onto something. Michael Grove is almost certainly the evil Chocolate Snatcher.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 04/12/2011 21:10

Christmas, birthday, easter and any other celebration day came all at once for me when my sister bought me a big box of just the celebration style maltesers chocolates when I passed my GCSE's. Few years ago now and have never seen them in the shops since. I'm beginning to suspect I dreamt it. Sad

NoOnesGoingToEatYourMincePies · 05/12/2011 09:34

Worst decision ever when Roses stopped doing the coffee ones. They were the best.

Lime barrels sound lovely.

thenightsky · 05/12/2011 10:04

Twix has no place in a tin of chocolates. It is a biscuit FFS Xmas Angry

Jinsel · 05/12/2011 10:06

No Topics? No Truffles?

Thanks for the warning, I won't be buying these as gifts anymore

susiedaisy · 05/12/2011 10:14

This thread has made me laugh Grin

MillyR · 05/12/2011 10:16

I prefer the new tub. I never like the galaxy truffle.

But well done for only being on your first box of Christmas chocolates. We have already eaten four - a tub of celebrations, a tub of Heros, a box of Milk Tray and a box of Thorntons.

SummerRain · 05/12/2011 10:17

I hated the truffles... too sweet and no texture.

Much happier to hear there's twixes.... now if they'd just bring back the topics I'd be sorted.
