Just that really: what is the box design all about? Why is there the circular hole? What are the perforated quarter circles for? Is it all some advanced alien technology or am I just too dense to understand a basic cardboard box?

And for some reason malteasers always taste better out of the box Grin

This Grin

The design stops them falling out when you chuck the box across the room to your husband (and vice versa) because you're to lazy to get up and pass them properly!

What I was thinking, they taste much better out the box 🤤

Poptasmagorical · 25/01/2020 19:43

Is that true, Nottobesoldseparately? I wouldn't know as I've never tried sharing them Grin

People share Maltesers?

Poptasmagorical · 25/01/2020 19:47

Not in my experience, but I'm told it happens. It could be an urban myth.

Should be on a register!

TheTrollFairy · 25/01/2020 19:48

Mine don’t need to be share proof either

ColourMyDreams · 25/01/2020 19:49

MusicToMyEars800 · 25/01/2020 19:49

Sharing maltteasers Confused whoever heard of such a thing?? Grin not in my house.... it’s either get your own or have none Grin

The holes on the corner make it easier to access perferation and the hole in the middle makes it easier to lift up perferated section. Now wanting malteasers Grin

Nottobesoldseparately · 25/01/2020 19:51

I buy the big boxes. actually DH buys them for me, he's a keeper

I don't like sharing either but even I have to admit that eating one of those to myself is a step to far so I allow my lovely husband a small handful before I make him chuck them back at me! Grin

Dunno but it clesely has some sort of holographic thing where you think there are about 3000 left and then there's only 5.

Abouttoblow · 25/01/2020 19:54

Why do you never get the delicious little random chewy one any more?

YABU for asking this at a time I can't go to the shop with sleeping DC!

MusicToMyEars800 · 25/01/2020 19:55

I love the little chewy ones there should be more!

theweebleshavelanded · 25/01/2020 19:57

oh I saw in news this week the factory that makes the maltesers crunchy middles had a fire. hope theres not a shortage!

i`ve always wondered about the weird inner lid thing too.

bobstersmum · 25/01/2020 19:58

Thank you very much op now I need to get out of my comfy pj's and go to the shop for Maltesers!

Missingthesea · 25/01/2020 19:58

The circular hole must be so that you can tip just one out at a time, though I don't know why you'd want to do that...Grin

MusicToMyEars800 · 25/01/2020 20:02

I also want a box of malteasers too now Grin

Poptasmagorical · 25/01/2020 20:09

I'm very sorry to those who are now pining for maltesers but unable to get out to buy any.
I'll think of you whilst I eat mine Wink

We still have a big unopened box left over from Christmas.

FuckKnowsMate · 25/01/2020 20:15

Oh dear I must be the only one who thinks they taste horrible out the box lately! They literally just taste like the actual cardboard box now! They never used to though!
