having just opened a box of celebrations and discovered that they contain Twixs.

Twix's ffs, they aren't chocolates, they are biscuits.

And to add insult to injury, there were only two maltesers. Two in the whole fecking box.

So having had about two sweets each, I'm left (yet again) with a pile of bounty's, snickers and milky fucking ways

I am going to have to raid the New Year's Eve selection boxes at this rate.

Mmmmm... Twix.

ReinDearPrudence · 28/12/2012 22:29

Quality Street are where it's at.

DecAndAnt · 28/12/2012 22:30

I bloody love Twix

LimeLeafLizard · 28/12/2012 22:30

tbh sounds like you need Wine not chocolate...

I have an unwanted box of Quality street if you want them?

Binkyridesagain · 28/12/2012 22:30

If you don't want them, I'll have em!

PickledInAPearTree · 28/12/2012 22:30

Just bite off the tops. That's my tactic with them.

ILoveTIFFANY · 28/12/2012 22:31

Hey Mary!! Stop whinging

AKissIsNotAContract · 28/12/2012 22:31

YANBU. They replaced the galaxy truffle with a fucking twix. The galaxy truffle was the best one.

DearOldWrinklyMum · 28/12/2012 22:32

Celebrations hey? Mmmmm. Well I love twixs but can't remember - They didn't used to be in a box of Celebrations so remind me, were they instead of something else in the box or as well?

IloveChristmasandsodoesmydog · 28/12/2012 22:32

I like Twix. I like a bit of crunch in chocolate. Send 'em over.

cozietoesie · 28/12/2012 22:32

I had a big bowl of Celebrations out at Xmas and the youngsters ate every single one of the Twix's. Your taste must be .......individual!

SentimentalKat · 28/12/2012 22:32

YANBU. I would be fine with a few twix, but whenever I buy celebrations they consist of at least 90% bloody milky ways. And two maltesers in one box is a disgrace!

MaryChristmaZEverybody · 28/12/2012 22:32

I have just opened the Wine. I was going to have a chocolate night instead, but have given up.

I'm getting Quality Street and Roses next year, nothing else.

YUMM Bounty

ledkr · 28/12/2012 22:33

Totally the same reaction from me. I was bloody fuming. If I want a packed lunch I will make one.

Tweasels · 28/12/2012 22:34

Hmmmmmmm, Maryz. Maltesers probably contain less chocolate pound for pound than Twix so your chocolate/biscuit argument doesn't stand.

Milky fucking ways as you so eloquently put it though are indeed the work of the devil and are best left until you have ran out of everything else.

I have all the creme egg miniature heroes left if you want them.

Fakebook · 28/12/2012 22:34

I hate the Milkyways. Who the hell rats them? They taste like concentrated sugar with a smidgen of chocolate.

Binkyridesagain · 28/12/2012 22:34

Mmmmmmmm chocolate

Don't bother with any of the galaxy crap though, someone else can have them.

MaryChristmaZEverybody · 28/12/2012 22:35

Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff where have you been?

How's your gang?

AKiss, that's what's missing, the truffle - I couldn't think what it was Confused

YABU.

You should have got Quality Street. I have been happily munching through them, ignoring the vile cocoanut and strawberry. Luckily there are enough others that I do like.

Xmas Grin

I save the vile cocoanut, phone my dad and around he comes to take them away from me and DH. We both loathe them. DS did like them last year but he seems to have changed his mind.

wonderstuff · 28/12/2012 22:35

Replaced the galaxy truffle with a twix!! NNNNOOOO Shock Sad
Fucking outrageous! Can we start a campaign to get this rectified?

FobblyWoof · 28/12/2012 22:36

They took away the sodding galaxy truffle to put in twix. Hmm

That's the bigger crime here

judefawley · 28/12/2012 22:37

The only chocolates that I didn't 'regift' was a box of Heroes. They are foul and have gone in the bin.

Kicking myself that I didn't keep something more highbrow.

TheOriginalNutcracker · 28/12/2012 22:37

I'll have the snickers Grin

Viviennemary · 28/12/2012 22:38

I can see why your annoyed! I must be the only one in the country that loved coffee creams. They are no more and have to be searched out.
