Mini twirls in the cadburys Heroes tin this year? The twirls are the best chocolate in there aren't they? But I only got about 5 in the WHOLE tin. I know its a bit early to be opening "The Tins" but it's a good job I did under the circumstances. Imagine if i had left it till christmas day? Doesn't bear thinking about.

FFS. No galaxy truffles in celebrations and now this. THAT IS IT I CANNOT TAKE THIS RECESSION ANYMORE! YANBU!!!!!!!

akaemmafrost · 20/12/2011 21:21

And surely last year they used to have cadburys whole nut minis in as well? This year it's boring old fudge. Yes I am afraid I am very unhappy with the Christmas chocolate side of things so far this year.

Yeah, aka. Sorry to break it to you, but mine is at least 40% twirls. Grin

Do not get me started on the truffles. The bastards. I loved those.

TheThingUpstairs · 20/12/2011 21:30

There are not enough green triangles in my quality street either.Xmas Angry. I am sure that they used to have whole mini nut ones in the Cadburys too.

Haven't bothered with QS this year but buying a tin of Celebrations tomorrow, don't have a choice really after discovering The Twirl Situation.

I bought 2 boxes over the last couple of weeks and only had ONE twirl in the first and 2 in the other.

The Roses have been very disappointing too this year!

Pandemoniaa · 20/12/2011 23:11

If I discover a shortage of orange creams in my Roses then I plan to be vair unreasonable indeed. In fact I may have the Strop to end All Seasonal Strops.

MenopausalHaze · 20/12/2011 23:12

I bloody hate those green triangles in QS and so obviously I have a disproportionately huge quantity of them in my tin.

Sparklingbaubles · 20/12/2011 23:12

Are they still putting bloody Eclairs in the Heroes as well? What a swizz.

thefurryone · 20/12/2011 23:25

A word of warning about the Celebrations, last tub I had was far too heavily weighted towards Bountys for my liking.

akaemmafrostythesnowwoman · 21/12/2011 11:40

Now you see, I love the Bountys and I am more than happy to be rid of the truffles, they always get left here, as do the Malteasers - BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT PROPER MALTEASERS!!!! They are teeny bits of honeycomb floating around in solid chocolate, it doesn't work.

wildfig · 21/12/2011 11:44

But but but... surely Cadburys factories have big coloured chutes which swirl round in loops above a conveyor belt, and drop exactly the same number of the various chocolates into each tin before squirrels slam on the lids and push them into vans?

twolittlemonkeys · 21/12/2011 11:46

I hate how they substitute good things for rubbish ones - must be cheaper to make or something. What is with all the fudge and eclairs in Heroes? I loved the Topic ones in Celebrations but they stopped those. I am making up for the crap chocolate in Heroes by having a whole bag of twirl bites alongside the tin Xmas Smile

I can't believe they took the truffles out of Celebrations :( I was going to buy a few boxes when they were on sale but saw that they had gone and didn't bother. Bad call whoever made that particular decision.

And YANBU, btu at least you can buy them separately.

akaemmafrostythesnowwoman · 21/12/2011 11:51

NO TOPICS!?

Sparklingbaubles · 21/12/2011 11:52

Nobody seems as offended as me about the Eclairs in the Cadburys Heroes. Sad

VivaLeBeaver · 21/12/2011 11:54

I have been to every supermarket in town and can't find a box of Mingles, never mind a tin. It just ain't Xmas without Mingles.

mummynoseynora · 21/12/2011 11:58

my celebrations had rather a lot of twix in this year... I don't remember twix in previous years

akaemmafrostythesnowwoman · 21/12/2011 11:59

Oh I am sparklingbaubles, not only are they ALL WRONG but they are way smaller than I remember them being when I was a kid.

The chocolate tins have reached rock bottom this year that's for sure Sad.

akaemmafrostythesnowwoman · 21/12/2011 12:00

There has never been twix, never! I am not sure I believe you

OvoNotBrusselSproutsAgain · 21/12/2011 12:04

I've had LOADS of strawberry and orange ones in my Roses. Which is good as they're my favourites. Xmas Grin I had so many I actually shared some. Xmas Shock
