To expect licorice allsorts to have a balanced mix of allsorts, not just square sandwich ones?

[MrsRobertDuvallHasRosacea]

I have just opened a bag of allsorts.
Not one round coconut one, and only 2 bobbly ones. And they've shrunk.

And I've just eaten them all (in the vain hope there would be more selection at the bottom of the bag)

Bastard Bassetts.

When I was about 10 I wrote to Bassetts because I had a bag of nearly all brown sandwich ones and no bobbly ones. They sent me a £10 voucher back with their apologies

But I'm 52.

will they understand my disappointment?

Tell them you're 10 and write the letter with your left hand.

Weren't there any licorice rolls?

Make sure the envelope has some kind of disappointed brown saliva stain on it.

YANBU. And what's with the preponderance of raisins in Revels? If I wanted a bag of chocolate raisins, I would buy a bag of chocolate raisins.

Lots of licorice rolls.
But no coconut ones (sob)

The bassett ones are rubbish! Try marks and spencers! Half the price and better selection

Ugh ugh! Bobbly ones Be grateful there were only 2!

I've noticed this. Do you think they did some kind of customer survey, and have adjusted the proportions of the aniseed ones and the licorice rolls?

I think it's the people in the factory, scoffing all the nice ones.
Probably have cheeeks like chipmunks.

I hate the sandwiches

YANBU, and if you want to start a petition, I'll back you all the way.

Oooh, that sounds like my perfect bag of Allsorts! I detest the bobbly ones and the coconut ones are a bit 'meh'. Next time you get a bag like that, send it to me!

(Although I have to say that I have found the Bassetts Allsorts too sweet the last few times I've had them - I don't like them as much as I used to. Has anyone else noticed this? Did they change the recipe, or did my taste buds just grow up?)

I'll join the petition too. My favs are the bobbly, liquorice and coconut ones, would prefer just to have 2 sandwiches.

I LOVE these but if I eat a whole bag I get a headache!!

licorice rolls are the best mmmmm

Mmmm... bobbly ones :) They're my favourite.

Definitely complain. I complained about a bag of Skips that had one giant hard ball of skippy resin in it. They sent me £5 of vouchers and a brand new multi-pack.

Anonymous I thought they had got sweeter - maybe because they've left the interesting flavours out?

You are all perverts. Liquorice is vile, no matter what shape it is.

Nightmare. Had the same thing recently. NO coconut ones. Did get some rolls though. On the flipside I've also had a bag with no vile bobbly ones. Yes, I eat quite a lot of allsorts...

You have just made me go and open the carton of Lakeland traditional liquified all sorts I had in the cupboard. Only 3 bobbly ones (my favourites) but otherwise a good mix. And Lakeland jelly babies are really lush and fruity :)

All bobbly ones and coconut ones now gone and I feel sick!

Spogs (the bobbly ones) are my favourite. I got one bag and there were none in it!

You know you can buy spogs on their own - here! Yum!

How can they call them Allsorts then? Surely they are Licorice All-The-Sames..... ?
