Really?

Well, I like Toffifee

CherryPlum · 06/04/2016 21:21

I've never bought them, looks like there are only about 5 of them in a big box, each toffee with it's own personal 'section' within the box.

Didn't even know they contained nuts, I assumed they were all toffeee

LBOCS2 · 06/04/2016 21:30

I quite like them but they're a massive rip off and they're really not that much fun.

RickJames · 06/04/2016 21:33

They are hard to release from the packaging. I always end up popping them out like a big, brown paracetamol which doesnt really put me in the mood for fun or yummy tastes. Also, they would probably be better minus the nut.

"Mummy, I'm bored!"
"Then try Toffeefee! You'll NEVER BE BORED AGAIN"

hazeyjane · 06/04/2016 21:40

I waited about 30 years to try a Toffifee and they are right up there as one of the great disappointments of my life.

feckthemall · 06/04/2016 21:43

Absolutely love my toffeeffeees. They are sublime and I never share them, ever.

leelu66 · 06/04/2016 21:48

Hate the Toffeefee ad. It's so contrived. Will I have fun times with my family if I buy a pack? It looks like there's only 8 in there.

I must confess to a fondness for Chicken Madras woman Blush

Ohwoolballs · 06/04/2016 21:56

My rage inducing add at the moment is the Morrisons hot dog one, where the dad gets guilt tripped by his freaky kids and sad looking wife to stay and eat a bland looking hot dog losing his job in the process as he is over 40 mins late with all the clock messing
Seriously, what's with the fecking cheering and arm pumping?!

HackerFucker22 · 06/04/2016 21:58

I lover them. Could easily polish of off a box in one sitting

HackerFucker22 · 06/04/2016 21:59

Fuck off autocorrect.

I love them...

vichill · 06/04/2016 22:03

I thought they were the height of sophistication when i was a kid but now I realise they're just toffos with a dusty nut on in a gold tray.

SuffolkNWhat · 06/04/2016 22:04

Chicken Madras impersonation = instant detention in my class

fusionconfusion · 06/04/2016 22:05

Oh I love Toffifee! They remind me of a particular family holiday in Wales and if I'm feeling really crap I can buy a box for a pittance when once they seemed like this huge luxury and be transported back to wandering the sand dunes with my sister and cousins, totally carefree.

Skrewt · 06/04/2016 22:11

I just bought my first packet this afternoon - they are yummy! I do not have television though so am totally unaware of any irritating ads (which might have put me off discovering the absolute fun of Toffeefee!)

allowlsthinkalot · 06/04/2016 22:16

In our house a feefee is a fart.

coffeeisnectar · 06/04/2016 22:19

That advert is shit.

However in this house the Chicken Madras advert is now funny as DD2 misheard it and sings 'Chicken and that!' loudly and we just fall about laughing.

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 06/04/2016 22:46

The chicken madras woman is my nemesis. I didn't think I could hate anything more than the "I need a balti!" Advert that preceeded it, but no, Just Eat had the torture of Madras woman waiting in the wings.

CheshireChat · 07/04/2016 01:29

My DP absolutely loves them and eats the bloody things a box at a time- shall I LTB? I'm sorely tempted. He does this with cheese and crackers so now I find that disgusting as well.

EveryoneElsie · 07/04/2016 01:36

Why would you eat a Toffifee when there is Toffee Crisp?

PageStillNotFound404 · 07/04/2016 07:11

Toffifees might be tasty (clue: they're not though) but "tasty" =/= "fun".

And YY to Chicken Madras woman. An ad break that includes her, the Haribo baby-voiced adults and any breathy slowed-down cover version of a musical standard makes me check my pulse, because otherwise it would appear I've died and gone to Hell.

(Although it does amuse me to think of the conversation between Chicken Madras actress and her agent. "We've got a job for you." "Cool! What it is?" "Well...")

mumoseven · 07/04/2016 08:21

Haribos adult/children - the way that weird one goes 'strawberries. They taste of strawberries.' Get. Tae. Fuck.

PageStillNotFound404 · 07/04/2016 08:40

YES! "They taste of storebewwies". Arrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh!

honeylulu · 07/04/2016 09:09

Does anybody remember the first UK ad for Toffifee with the Vampira/Elvira type woman?

Before that I didn't know how to pronounce it anyway. In my head they were called Toffee-Iffy.I still think that sounds better.

OutToGetYou · 07/04/2016 09:28

I love Toffifee and I think they are fun!

We always sing the song when we have them. We ate boxes of them on our road trip through Norway and sang the song the whole time.
I might get some today.

I also like the Haribo adverts.
