Quality Street tin

94 replies

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!

The little bags of strawberry cremes are Roses They have the Golden Barrels on their own too. I was in Poundland this afternoon.

I blame you lot for the fact that I've now unwrapped XP's granny's wrapped box of after-eights from under the tree and taken them to my bed. Led astray. Not my fault.

And FYI there are eight strawberry creams in one of those wee baggies. Used them in gift bags for dd's birthday outing and there was not one left over after I'd shared them out between the eight bags. bugger

I just guffawed out loud at you eating granny's Christmas chocs Grin

When me and my brother were kids we used to be able to get the Roses jar open without breaking the seal.

Come Christmas i remember my dad moaning about the fact that there were hardly any purple ones or golden barrels.
One year my godmother (she cant read English its not her first language) wrapped up a pretty pink box of chocolates for me when i was 11 or 12 . They were whisky liquears. i had eaten 3 quarters of the box before my parents realised Xmas Grin

Bought my boys a Quality Street Green Bar today....LUSH!
Well I had to test them didn't I. Xmas Blush

Helena my granny doesn't drink alcohol so when someone gave her a box of cherry liqueurs, she rinsed them out under the tap and ate the hollow chocolates Grin

Yabu because strawberry creams are disgusting.

toothlessoldhag · 23/12/2014 22:05

I only like the coconuts. Why don't they do bags of those?? And, is it just me, or did the use to be in green wrappers and now they're in blue? Why? Do they gave a wrapper committee do you think, that's works these things out!

catsmother · 23/12/2014 23:27

I think you're right Toothless actually .... they did used to be in a green wrapper, a pale minty green IIRC (sad choc fiend). Think the departed cracknels used to be blue.

HelenaDove · 24/12/2014 00:35

Soon Xmas Grin come to think of it the ones i had were cherry too hence the pink box.

toothlessoldhag · 24/12/2014 21:13

Yup. Crack eels were blue!

toothlessoldhag · 24/12/2014 21:14

Bah! CRACKNELS!

Lagoonablue · 24/12/2014 22:15

Well at SILs now. The tin is fully open. My crime has gone undetected. Plus I have necked a ton of strawberry and orange creams, washed down with Baileys. It is definitely Xmas!

Seasons greeting everyone. Enjoy your choc ies, whatever your preference.

YANBU! Our Quality Streets remain unopened until breakfast tomorrow! maybe Xmas Grin

DrSnowman · 24/12/2014 22:50

The conduct of the opening poster shows evidence of deeply disturbed thought processes, the strawberry ones in the quality street are one of the least good ones. She would have been better advised to target the caramel barrels.

ShadowKat · 24/12/2014 23:25

You were obviously very restrained in your pilfering, OP Grin

And sorry to say I may have caused some confusion up thread. I was in the Co-op today, and the strawberry creme bags I mentioned are actually Roses, not Quality Street. They're still yummy, though.

Lagoonablue · 25/12/2014 20:08

I have sickened myself on chocs now.....

Opened my Quality Street Purely Purple Ones. Only had 3 and they taste sickly to me. Ive been on the slimming world plan too long. Its changed my taste in everything. I used to LOVE these.
