to think that someone should have told me that Neapolitan Chocolates

[NamingOfParts]

are no more?

DH and I were discussing the all important topic of chocolates for Christmas. We have a tin of Roses but between 5 adults/proto adults these wont go far (especially as the size of the tin has reduced).

So we were discussing what to bulk them out with. Brightly I said 'Neapolitan Chocolates'. However a quick search suggests that they are no more.

AIBU to think that someone should have told me so that I could have stock-piled.

I had to google them as never heard of them! is it these?

:O they really should have told us that. I used to really like them.

What????!!!
Is this a recent thing?

Urgh! They were gopping!

Far better to just buy another tin!

They've been defunct for years. I luffed them muchly. They remind me of my grandad.

They were made by Terry's. different colours were different flavours. Mocha were horrible.

I used to love those! Sad times.

If you haven't tried to buy any in the last 7 years, you can't like them that much!

Evil Kraft, killing off Neapolitans. As a rural child, I never even realised coffee came in two flavours - viz, 'plain' and 'au lait' - apart from in a Neapolitans box.

Those bastards at Kraft did for them!

I'd forgotten about them! We used to have them every Christmas when I was a child. I seem to remember being rather partial to the orange ones... mmm...

Kraft would only bring them back now if they were 'co-branded' with some other foodstuff to make Neapolitan-Pork Scratchings or some such other hideous Frankensnack Dairy Milk Philadelphia.

I'm sure M&S do something similar to them. Or did I dream that?

I remember feeling like the Cafe au lait was just the most sophisticated thing there could be - it was coffee flavour and in French!

DH has suggested we get a tin of Quality Streets and mix them in but we both suspect that no matter how well mixed they will separate overnight.

No Quality Street! Totally ignoring the Nestle boycott, QS taste like shit!

Thank the lord for small mercies, I thought I was the only one who thought that about Quality Street!

To be honest, Raspberry Ruffles are the only chocolate confectionery anyone needs at Christmas.
