to think white Ferrero Rochers should be banned

or at least come with some sort of warning?

I was given a 'tray' of Ferroro Rocher for Christmas. The tray consisted of white, brown (original) and dark brown Rocher. Not partaken since about 1994 so was quite excited to have a "ooh monsieur you are spoiling us" moment.

Opened the white one. WTAF? Desiccated coconut absolutely everywhere. Who invented these bags of dandruff? They are cunningly designed to ensure coconut falls out immediately upon opening. Doesn't even contain white chocolate. Just tastes of coconut. What's the point? No one in my household has been able to eat one without making an almighty mess. Might as well shake a bag of the desiccated stuff around the lounge.

These are not fit for the Ambassador's reception.

Any other 'chocolate' abominations I need to be aware of that I've missed?

Do you mean Raffaello?

I'm sure I remember a mint version.

Pale green liquid inside, looked just like snot.

YADNBU, they're bloody vile - Rafellos or something I think they're called. Tbh I'm not a fan of the plain chocolate ones either, but the coconut ones are hideous.

Yabu. They’re fuckin lush and my favourite by far

TheGrump · 10/01/2020 21:20

Yes, I believe that is their formal name! Thank you. Forgot they had an actual name.

Yes and the dark are called Rondnoir!

Pretty sure so. Sounds like the Fererro collection.

I LOOOOOOOOVE Raffaello!

I like all 3 varieties and was given the same tray for Xmas, however, I do think the dark and whites are included just to illustrate the fact that the originals are far superior.

You forgot the toilet roll tubes.

Namechanger212333333333 · 10/01/2020 21:28

These are amazing. You must be on some sort of weird chocolate planet that makes you not like them

TheGrump · 10/01/2020 21:29

lostsoulsunited please enlighten about the role of the toilet roll Grin

@TheGrump one of my parents works for them so i was given a lot of Kinder/Ferrero/TicTacs growing up Grin

cakewench · 10/01/2020 21:30

Absolutely love Raffaello.

FWIW (though it sounds as if you dislike them, regardless) the packaging on the ones in the solo Raffaello boxes is better. The wrappers on the ones in the multipack are a bit of a bastard to open and definitely result in coconut everywhere.

boatyardblues · 10/01/2020 21:31

I like the white ones best too. YABVVU.

QuillBill · 10/01/2020 21:31

TheGrump · 10/01/2020 21:32

I thought Rafaello were the best chocolates ever invented... until I had a white Lindor. It was like a religious experience.

icecreamsundae32 · 10/01/2020 21:34

I hate the white ones too! But I like the dark ones. Don't sell them on their own yet tho.

TheGrump · 10/01/2020 21:35

QuillBill white coco pops!? News to me. As long as they are coated in white chocolate and not coconut.....

We love the white ones in this house.

Sorry, but I'd like to take a poll on Milky Bar, or more specifically Milky Bar Giant Buttons.

If anyone has some they don't like, I'm happy to take them off your hands.

See also Caramac giant buttons - I haven't found them yet & a friend slating them on twitter has upset me.
