Staffroom chocolate selection tactics.

[Goldenbug]

AIBU in leaving the Bountys and eating the other flavours because I'm the only one who likes coconut? It means we all get a crack equally for the rest of the chocolates, then I get to swoop in and eat the mini Bountys all by myself at the end. I even look like a bit of a hero at the end, bravely eating the unwanted leftovers.

Sneaky greedy bastard or shrewd chocolate tactician?

Genius!

I can't believe I've never done this.

(BTW ....have you all discovered dark chocolate Bounty? I only discovered they existed very recently.)

Dark chocolate Bounty is not dairy-free, mind. Boo for vegans!

I was inspired by this thread to buy some celebrations as I love bounty. But instead I asked DP to pick up heroes for whatever stupid reason
His reply was that its just an excuse to buy even more chocolate later oh and no I dont think YABU

I used to do this as I was the only one at home who liked coffee roses/quality street. Then the buggers stopped putting coffee flavours in.

Hahaha, my trick exactly. I like the coffee ones (don't actually like coffee) but don't want to just have those because nobody else in our house does so I leave them til last! I can justify it because they usually have a lot more chocolate than me so I'm just evening things out!

Someone bought a tin of QS for the office last week. They are absolutely vile now, but used to be lovely when I was a kid.

Apart from Giraffearequitetall, who we can assume works for the Russian government and is trying to destabilise Mumsnet.

spotted! looks like I may have to name change now

I like your style, I bow down to you awesomeness! However this is mumsnet and somebody will be along to tell you how greedy you are

Haha, I was holding a Bounty ready to open as I opened this thread.

YABU for liking the Bounties, Whoever thought of putting coconut in a sweet (or indeed in anything) is a baddie of comic book proportions - much like you OP

That wins gold in the chocolate olympics.

I think I'm in the running for a silver, though. I always wait until the evening's TV offering is nearly finished before opening the Chocolate Orange...because I know he'll go to bed after HIGNFY and I can finish it off by myself while watching The Crown.

I like both bounties and snickers yet keep this under wraps until they are only ones left - Goldenburg cunning staffroom tactics can only be applauded and those who say otherwise are just disappointed their galaxy/malteser choccies have long gone

I’m eyeing up our Christmas tub of Celebrations now and it’s all your fault!

Yanbu, you are a genius. Please use your powers for good, not evil

OMG you eat more than one chocolate per Christmas? Do you know how many calories there are if you eat them??

What on earth is wrong with hummus and a carrot stick ffs? Do you want to get FAT?!!

There are no celebrations in our staffroom.

dh has done this for years with Quality street....eats MY green triangles and purple ones, and then gets all the toffee pennies and toffee fingers to himself. I should have ltb years ago.

So which of you cunning bastards wants our Bounty hoard??? Only me & DD here...neither of us eat the buggars but I am loathe to bin them 🙄 Then when i reeeally want chocolate they goad me. Twats

They don't last that long in our staff room.Took two for later one break, didn't go up at lunch time and went to put lunch in fridge the next morning.Not even a Bounty or a fudge left from big £5 tub!

The big tubs aren’t that big any more - shrinkflation, innit?

Gin - Cherry Ripes??? I miss Cherry Ripes soooo much.

We buy celebrations now. We used to get Roses or Quality Street but Quality Street smell like poo when you take the lid off the tin! Once we noticed it we couldn't 'un-notice' it

YAB so F U...

Who eats BOUNTIES?! Vile!

I believe they have removed Bounty from selection boxes. Not a popular choc.
