To ask why coffee revels exist? No one likes them

And the number you get in a packet is totally disproportionate to the nice tasty revels.

The same goes for the raisins, horrible little dried up pieces of should'vebeenmadeintowine, that should never ever have replaced the peanuts - but at least you can spot those from the shape and avoid them.

After a rage inducing packet that was 60% coffee AIBU to want to fill a spaceship with all the coffee revels in the world and fire it somewhere into the atmosphere?

Coffee ones rock! I stopped buying them because of the raisin ones. Bring back the nuts!

AmberNectarine · 14/04/2016 18:07

YABVU, they are the only nice ones. If they sold them as a standalone product, I would buy them.

I don't actually remember coconut ones???? Can't believe I missed them, coconut is goood. I remember strawberry milkshake ones though.

DecaffCoffeeAndRollupsPlease · 14/04/2016 18:31

Coffee ones are the nicest
Raisins are just meh
Miss the peanuts
Don't remember there ever being coconut ones????

kippersyllabub · 14/04/2016 18:33

I love coffee revels and would buy them by themselves

SoupDragon · 14/04/2016 18:33

Coffee ones are great. The orange ones can fuck right off though.

scarednoob · 14/04/2016 18:34

Bleurgh, I am glad I don't remember coconut ones! The limited edition strawberry ones that replaced coffee for a glorious period were lush though

For those that actively dislike either one if you nibble the smallest bit of choc off the coating then the inside of the orange is actually orange and the coffee is more a brown. I can smell the coffee through the chocolate though and save them for last cos theyre the best!

gabsdot · 14/04/2016 18:50

I love the coffee ones. They're my favourite

LostPlatypus · 14/04/2016 18:57

I can't stand the coffee ones either. They seem to taint the flavour of the next ones too. I would gladly swap any coffee ones for orange or raisin ones, or anything that isn't coffee tbh. I now want a packet of Minstrels. No evil coffee-avoidance roulette and just yummy silky chocolate. Please tell me they haven't done a Cadbury's or I will be very sad.

Yeahsure · 14/04/2016 18:59

I love the coffee ones and the orange ones. Ooh could go some now.

MenopausalMaud · 14/04/2016 19:00

I love the coffee ones, they are the best!
Has anyone mentioned the toffee ones - I am really disappointed when I get a toffee one :(

LordoftheTits · 14/04/2016 19:10

I like them all.

Miniminimus · 14/04/2016 19:28

Sorry, coffee and orange both as revolting as each other. Surely the disc shaped chocolate is a Galaxy Counter? But weirdly more like the old fashioned ones, not the recent reincarnation. Need a pack of Revels and Galaxy Counters right now purely so I can measure!

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 14/04/2016 19:38

Love ALL Revels -except raisin, bloody interlopers--, but now have to buy a bag of chocolate peanuts to mix in too...

Behooven · 14/04/2016 19:42

I love coffee revels, I wish they made bags of just them.
The orange ones however 💩

burblish · 14/04/2016 19:47

Coffee creams and coffee flavour chocs generally are the bomb - OP, you can fire your coffee-revel-filled spaceship into my greedy gob any time! On a related note, I am deeply saddened by the inexplicable removal of coffee creams from so many choc selection boxes over the years. Why oh why have choc manufacturers done this?!

eatyouwithaspoon · 14/04/2016 19:49

I dont like the oranges ones. I love the coffee ones and the others are ok. I dont remember coconut ones? Gutted I love coconut Sad I also love strawberries but anything strawberry flavour is grim!

LifeHuh · 14/04/2016 19:50

Love coffee,love orange but there is no reason to include toffee. Why,revels manufacturers, why? How disappointing,just as you are happily munching through assorted revels you can actually munch on,to be stuck with a toffee...

QuestionableMouse · 14/04/2016 20:18

The only ones I don't like are the evil raisins. They're yuck.

ipswichwitch · 14/04/2016 20:22

I love them all, and am very partial to any sort of coffee chocolate, which is great because everyone else I know hates them, so they're all mine!!!!!!!

YABVU. I would buy a bag of coffee revels if I could. Well maybe coffee and toffee.

They're my fave!
