to think that Cadbury's Heroes are crap?

Especially when compared to their fabulous Celebrations competitors.

OH and I received several boxes of chocolates (all Heroes) for Christmas and whilst I am never ungrateful for chocolate I was disappointed to find that they've gone right down hill.

Contents:
Eclairs (boring)
Creme egg Twists (bleurgh!)
Fudge (bleurgh!)
Dairy Milk (Good)
Caramel Dairy Milk (Good)
Twirl (Same as Dairy Milk)

YY - never been a fan of Heroes of Celebrations tbh - but DP loves them, so I don't have to bother eating them

OhlimpPricks · 02/01/2013 13:06

Over wrapped over priced shite.

Acandlelitshadow · 02/01/2013 13:06

YABU.

Heroes rock and Celebrations suck monkey balls.

ShatnersBassoon · 02/01/2013 13:07

All the 'big tin' selections are full of the most boring, cheap chocs. Definitely a case of quantity over quality.

JollyOldChristmas · 02/01/2013 13:07

YABU. Heroes are the best box of chocolate.

Please post them to me.

CaptChaos · 02/01/2013 13:09

YANBU Quality Street; and they are!

kitsmummy · 02/01/2013 13:09

Op, you are correct - Heroes are rubbish, Celebrations are fab

Jins · 02/01/2013 13:10

Heroes have always been horrible. It's because they are Cadburys

nickelbabylyinginamanger · 02/01/2013 13:10

I love them.

so nur.

nickelbabylyinginamanger · 02/01/2013 13:11

Kins - that's exactly the reason i love them - Cadbury's is great (and am soooooooo glad Kraft didn't change the recipe!)

They no longer include Bourneville chocolate, and for that they reside on my shit list.

BrianCoxandTheTempleofDOOM · 02/01/2013 13:18

YABU OP Shock

Celebrations are the work of the devil (with the exception of Malteasers) and Heroes are the bestest.

nickelbabylyinginamanger · 02/01/2013 13:19

Enjoy - that's what puts them on my favourites list.
just buy a bar of bourneville!

AKissIsNotAContract · 02/01/2013 13:21

Heroes, celebrations, roses and quality street are all shit.

noblegiraffe · 02/01/2013 13:23

They took the truffles out of Celebrations and they are now not worth buying.

Jins · 02/01/2013 13:23

Kraft didn't change the recipe????

The soya is newish. I'm pretty sure that's what makes them taste vile. Although I have never been a cadburys fan. Always tasted cheap to me

BunFagFreddie · 02/01/2013 13:25

Too many mars's, milky ways and twixes in celebrations. Angry

They are still better than Heroes though.

blonderthanred · 02/01/2013 13:29

I was disappointed to discover they no longer contain mini Time Outs.

Agree Fudge boring and Eclairs horrible and aghast to discover DH likes these. I thought I knew him.

nickelbabylyinginamanger · 02/01/2013 13:32

I didn't think they did.

i'm sure they've used soya for a while.

pigletmania · 02/01/2013 13:56

Yabvvvvu Heros all the way, Celebrations yuck

WhySoSirius · 02/01/2013 14:38

True - Celebrations have gone downhill since they took at the truffles. And yes, too many Mars Bars (nobody prefers the Mars Bars!) but still better than Heroes

YANBU.

Same as the OP, I only like 50% of the contents of Heroes now. I used to love it when they previously had; 'nuts about caramel', dairy Whole Nut, Crunchie, Flake (did they have Flakes?) and Bourneville.

I wasn't fussed when they got rid of the Dreams though (bleurgh!).

GregBishopsBottomBitch · 02/01/2013 16:20

I hate Celebrations, not enough malteasers and too many mars bars, ugh.

BornToFolk · 02/01/2013 16:22

Heroes rock, purely because of the mini Creme Egg Twists. However, Eclairs have no place there and should be removed.

The ideal solution really would be a Heroes/Celebration mix up with Malteasers replacing Eclairs.
