It appears they are not doing their white chocolate and strawberry Christmas trees this year. Only the stupid salted caramel and milk chocolate ones.

They were the entire point of December.

They have RUINED my Christmas Xmas Angry

HoneyDragon I'm sure I bought some chubby hubby a couple of months ago! You just need to get yourself over to SE Asia for your chubby hubby fix...it's the peanut butter one, right?

WTAF is a rainbow trifle? I don't even like trifles and I want one!

HoneyDragon · 05/12/2017 07:57

I miss Pacers. I loved them.

But trifle in any way, shape or form is the work of the devil.

EvilDoctorBallerinaRoastDuck · 05/12/2017 10:51

Pacers tasted soapy. 😷

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 05/12/2017 13:25

I don't know if it is anything like Chubby Hubby, but M&S and Sainsburys do a peanut butter caramel icecream that I dare not buy, because it is so delicious that I can eat a whole tub at a sitting.

@VivaLaBeaver - thank you! You are a star, and I will go and uncheck the flicky thing forthwith.

I'm still weeping about the chocolate truffles from Celebrations chocolates. 😫😫😫

And chocolate peanuts from Revels......

ImCatbug · 05/12/2017 13:47

Honey is the jelly rainbow too, or just the sponge?

milliemolliemou · 05/12/2017 14:03

Love the songs. Can I add a non-food related whiiiiine? Why did Body Shop drop those nice Christmas Tree guest soaps that smelt wonderful and were a cheap cheer up for Christmas (especially when I washed the basins).

Jelly in trifle, bah. It's sponges soaked in alcohol, fruit of choice, layered twice with proper egg custard and topped with cream.

PoncyCanapes · 05/12/2017 14:07

I fear salted caramel - as shite as it is - is being overtaken for Christmas 2017 (and probably the next 3 shitting years) by God-awful Prosecco flavoured EVERYTHING, seconded only by Gin & Tonic-flavoured everything.

No, I don’t want to suck on a Prosecco lollipop while bathing in Gin & Tonic bath foam…I just want a festive fucking chipolata and a white chocolate tree Xmas Angry

Poppypooch · 05/12/2017 14:17

Is anyone selling York Fruits and Marzipan Fruits I can't find them anywhere dm will not be pleased with her walnut whip (with no walnut) Xmas Grin
I don't like white chocolate or salted caramel

AlpacaLypse · 05/12/2017 14:18

I haven't forgiven Waitrose for discontinuing their own brand Belgian chocolate 200 g bars in milk chocolate and orange flavour. So just like a Terry's chocolate orange but much much cheaper!

Floellabumbags · 05/12/2017 14:19

Surely a rainbow trifle should have Skittles in it.

ticklady · 05/12/2017 14:30

I'm only on page 2 here and I hear Bendycks stopped MINGLES?
I've been searching high and lo near and afar for these only to hear this news now, and no white choc and strawberry trees thatI-haventheardofletaloneeventried what on earth is happening??!!

HoneyDragon · 05/12/2017 16:45

Seriously people 2011 was the end of Mingles. Do you guys only do Xmas on a leap year.

As for York Fruits I’m sure I got some in McColls newsagents last year of all places.

No wonder people need a cleaner.

Lolly12 · 05/12/2017 17:30

Alas, no strawberry but bought some of these bad boys in Tesco’s earlier today that could be a decent compromise.

Well, Iceland can fuck off. Fucking asshats that they are.
Madsy1990 · 05/12/2017 17:31

Haha! I had those last year they were amazing! Although I do prefer the salted caramel ones, ponce that I am.

Madsy1990 · 05/12/2017 17:32

wait what...there are no more Mingles? Fuck it all.

Madsy1990 · 05/12/2017 17:33

hang on...the truffles from the Celebrations tin are also gone? That's it..I'm done.

Morphene · 05/12/2017 17:34

Tescos used to sell triangular lower fat salami....now they don't. So sad.

Also I will forgive all the past sins of any supermarket that sells orange flavour icecream.....

Jaxhog · 05/12/2017 17:36

Wow, my DH just came back with ...a smartie penguin!

Alidoll · 05/12/2017 17:37

Trinity belle - I’m with you on the Pacers. Not the striped later version but the original mint green coloured one.

And mint Ice magic - the stuff on sale now isn’t a patch on the mountain shaped creation.

Oh, and lean cuisine (orange chicken) as loved that as a student even if I always got 3rd degree burns from trying to lift the plastic pouch out of the boiling water and cut it open on the plate!

FV45 · 05/12/2017 17:41

Poppy my local village shop sells York Fruits I know this because I had to panic by some one year when I realised I had no Xmas presents for teachers

Where do you live (ish)?

Pollygetthevodkaout · 05/12/2017 17:42

Tescos do them!! Xmas Wink
