Quality Street tin

[Lagoonablue]

We have a tin of Quality Street unopened which we are taking to SIL's. WIBU to prise off the Sellotape around the tin, steal a couple of strawberry cremes, then replace lid and tape?

Is it unreasonable? If so I am! Have just done it! I have no guilt. The sweets were delicious!

Take out all the strawberry cremes, then if anyone says anything, fake a shocked look and say how ridiculous it is that they forgot to put any in at all......

That's very, very naughty.

And perhaps I shouldn't have opened this thread, as I'm trying to hold off opening our tin for another 24 (if not 48) hours.

No yabu by the fact you didnt share those strawberry creams. You know the rule in mn terms and conditions.....rule 2154 all strawberry creams share be shared with mn member londonrach .

I am suprised I didn't do this before. They have sat in the kitchen cupboard for 3 weeks! I daren't do it agin though. DH is in and would be appalled! Ha ha!

The tins ain't what they used to be, sigh.

Ha, this is exactly what my sis and I did many moons ago!
Wetook them out, seller aped it back up and thoroughly enjoyed our mothers consternation when she opened them - the strawberry ones are her favourite

Neither DP nor I like them so this year I've taken them out and wrapped them up as part of her xmas present

I'd be quite glad if you did remove the strawberry creams, or anything orange.

Did you know that you can now buy little bags of chocolates filled with the Quality Street strawberry cremes?

If your conscience starts troubling you or you want more delicious strawberry cremes you could always go and buy a bag or two of those.

YANBU as the strawberry creams are rank.
Now, if uou had taken the toffees out YWBVVVU.

What the what? Actual full bags of Strawberry Cremes, where are these things of wonder to be found?

OP - YADWNBU

I know shadow i know! (Hides something behind the cushion). Agree i dont think they taste as nice as they used to.

Well, unless you're my SIL and then

Mnhq recbecca get yourself down to superdrug, tesco, poundland where a bag of strawberry creams (some from roses) is available for you. No nasty toffees!

Actual full bags of Strawberry Cremes?

Poundland have them

but do they only have 5 in the bag or are we talking BIG FAT bag?

Is it worth a trip out, is what i'm saying

They sell the strawberry creme bags in our local Co-op and the little Londis corner shop near us.

Haven't looked in the supermarkets yet.

For a £1 you get a certain weight of strawberry creams unpolluted by those toffees. I think i got around 12-15 but cant remember...worth a trip Rebecca mnhq x

We need some kind of MN Quality Street swap thread.

Why has no one mentioned the green triangles? Strawberry cremes pah.

The bit I don't understand is how it's possible to have the lid off the tin and only eat 2.

I'd have to find a shop before the scheduled trip to SILs or present her with an empty tin

Saw the bags of just strawberry cremes in superdrug too

We got our tin on Sun and opened it yesterday. 4yo DD has already developed a taste for the green triangles. On the one hand, nice that she has inherited my good taste. OTOH - they were miiiiiiiiine!

Except of course it's not a tin, but a new-fangled plastic tub.

What?. I haven't seen the special strawberry only packets. I will need to go and find some. I also like the Orange creams. No one else does so I get them all!

Lagoon i think you can get the orange creams in bags too. Superdrug and poundshop your best option!
