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?

When did coffee go back in? Ive missed them, coffee and orange all the way, please.

giraffesCantReachTheirToes · 14/04/2016 20:58

Coffee and orange for me. A whole bag mmm. And strawberry too.

Notstayingup · 14/04/2016 20:58

YABU!! I love the coffee the most! Then orange, Malteser and minstrel - raisin and toffee are totally rank - I give them to the husband!!

soundsystem · 14/04/2016 21:01

Hang on, they put coffee back? Amazing! I'm going to start buying Revels again. Coffee and Orange are the best. I don't mind the raisins. Not keen onthe Malteser ones: if I wanted Maltesers I'd have bought a pack of those!

TimeToMuskUp · 14/04/2016 21:01

Love them beyond measure.

TrixieBernadette · 14/04/2016 21:04

Woooo I love coffee ones. I celebrated when the coffee roses came back. Till I had to fight my niece for them!!!

ijustwannadance · 14/04/2016 21:06

I hate that when I open the packet all I can smell are the bloody raisins and they make the other sweets taste raisiny too. The bastards.

Hygge · 14/04/2016 21:08

I like the coffee ones.

I hate the toffee ones. They're too hard to chew, and they're boring.

Squiff85 · 14/04/2016 21:16

YABU, they're the best ones!

honeyroar · 14/04/2016 21:37

I love the coffee but hate the orange ones, which is a pain as you can't tell which is which. I like the toffee and chocolate "button" best. Don't like the raisin.

RedOnHerHedd · 14/04/2016 21:40

They're all amazing except the raisin which is just disappointing. I want chocolate naughtiness, not something healthy pretending to be bad. It's like a nun trying to be a pole dancer, it's just wrong. WRONG!!!

Trills · 14/04/2016 21:49

Your are being unreasonable to ask, because your premise is flawed.

Some people do like coffee sweets. I like both coffee and orange.

You would not be unreasonable to ask
why do Revels exist?

Because few people like every flavour, and even those who do like every flavour might prefer to KNOW what it is before it's in their mouth.

RustyBear · 14/04/2016 21:57

Almost identical thread, except that it was orange revels being reviled, almost exactly 8 years ago...

Ricksheadtilt · 14/04/2016 22:03

NRTFT...
You can totally tell which is which before you eat it though!!!

I eat the toffees first, then coffee, then Malteser - save the Minstrel for last and ping the (agreed should have been wine) horrid raisin and awful orange into the bin (DH). I've been wrong a couple of times.... But that's the excitement 😂Sad

Ricksheadtilt · 14/04/2016 22:04

*that wasn't supposed to be sad face.... A revel raisin or two may have made the grade into my wine glass GrinWink

SingingSamosa · 14/04/2016 22:06

I love the coffee ones too so YABVU. I do, however, detest the raisin ones!

I still miss the coffee ones from Cadbury Roses too Sad

scarednoob · 14/04/2016 22:09

Haha giraffe were they inspired by this thread or just coincidence? Hope you feel better soon.

cornishglos · 14/04/2016 22:09

I love them all, especially the coffee ones.

Fozzleyplum · 14/04/2016 22:10

YABU. I love the coffee ones, closely followed by the orange ones. Not really bothered about the maltesers and raisins.

Lilmisskittykat · 14/04/2016 22:48

I love the coffee ones .. Raisin ones are the evil ones. But at least you can squeeze them so no nasty surprises!

TrixieBernadette · 14/04/2016 22:51

It officially goes, from tastiest to most meh...

Coffee
Toffee
Malteser
Revel
Orange
Raisin

Or it does in my house

Ameliablue · 14/04/2016 23:31

Yanbu coffee ones are the best followed by raisin. Nut are worst followed by orange.

Woodenmouse · 16/04/2016 16:43

The coffee is the second best one!! Not a massive fan of the rasins though!!

JustDanceAddict · 16/04/2016 17:00

Coffee are the best!!

Stratter5 · 16/04/2016 17:09

You are completely wrong. The orange ones are the most vile, and the coffee ones the best.

I miss Revels.
