AIBU?

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?

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!

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.

I like the coffee ones.

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

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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

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

I still miss the coffee ones from Cadbury Roses too Sad

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

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

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

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

I miss Revels.
