To be pissed off that I just got SEVEN green ones in a tube of Fruit Pastilles?

And only 2 yellow, 2 orange and NO black ones? I hate green fruit Pastilles, haven't bought them for ages and I don't even eat the green ones. They taste different as well, flatter, not as juicy. So pissed off! Hardly ever buy sweets anymore and these were a huge disappointment! What's happened to them? Can anyone reccomend some decent sweets these days that haven't been messed with/ruined...?

There's nothing quite as disappointing as a disappointing packet of sweets. Sue the bastards. Seven green ones? Travesty.

Lucky you! They're my favourites Grin

yanbu. Try Spangles

I'll swap you for my orange ones. I hate them and love green ones.

TimeToMuskUp · 03/11/2015 21:50

YABU they're absolutely the best ones. Send them here.

Chillyegg · 03/11/2015 21:52

Call the police!
That's shocking. ....Green ones are the worst yuck
It would be like having 90%Bounty sweets in a celebration box

Nestle bastards.

HarryLimeFoxtrot · 03/11/2015 21:52

At least they were green and not yellow.

Poundstretcher occasionally sell 3 packs of all blackcurrant fruit pastilles for £1. They got me through my first trimester with DS. Not ashamed to say I bought a tenner's worth at the weekend and didn't even try to look embarrassed when the cashier raised an eyebrow.

Destinysdaughter · 03/11/2015 21:53

They are going in the bin right now, yuk!!

What?? The green ones are the best!!! I would be so happy with that.

Green sweets are unlucky. Bruce Forsythe throws them away.

BeaBoo · 03/11/2015 21:56

YABU, green is the best sweet flavour.

Destinysdaughter · 03/11/2015 21:57

Yes ive seen those Pastilles that are all Blackcurrant. Great idea! Sadly I bought these on a Saturday night from local newsagents so had to take what I got. That'll teach me to buy them again ( they should have warnings on packets or at least distribute them evenly..)

I wrote and complained about this very issue a few years back. They sent me a cheque for £2!

Longdistance · 03/11/2015 21:57

Write to them to complain. I've written to walkers and KP before about dud packets of crisps and got vouchers.

janethegirl2 · 03/11/2015 21:58

Yes, yabu as the green ones are good. The orange ones are rank though.

londonrach · 03/11/2015 21:58

Yabu green are thr best

Destinysdaughter · 03/11/2015 21:58

Wow v impressed by you complainers, well done! ( feels a bit churlish tho..) Blush

Churlish?! £2 is £2!

SanityClause · 03/11/2015 22:01

YANBU. That is outrageous!

ProcrastinatorGeneral · 03/11/2015 22:11

I could just go a pile of green fruit pastilles.

Babytalkobsession · 03/11/2015 22:15

This is disgusting....7?! 7 of those bitter little bastards in one tube?

I'm lost for words.

ChiefInspectorBarnaby · 03/11/2015 22:16

IguanaTail · 03/11/2015 22:16
