To ask what the secret is behind the Maltesers box?

[Poptasmagorical]

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?

Do you secretly work for malteasers because I’m craving them now.

He came back with a bag not a box but I ate them anyway because I am not malteserist.

MutteringDarkly - I know it was pages and pages ago but your tips to ensure solitary Malteser eating is pure genius! Thank you

I once toured the factory where they are made. There is a huge huge stainless steel drum where they get coated in chocolate. Thousand and thousands of them all warm and malty and delicious. God.

On the subject of Maltesers, I got a box of Malteser Truffles for Christmas. Are they good or nowhere near as nice as the originals?

Malteser Truffles are one of the few 'spin-offs' that does not disappoint. They are amazing.

@SlightlyJaded that's good to hear. DS (aged 13) got them for me, so even if they weren't very nice I'd have to pretend to like them!

@munchbunch12. Does he keep asking you 'when you are going to open them', by any chance?

DS (also 13) does this. He buys me chocolates then spends forever hopping from one foot to the next asking me if I 'fancy one?' or if he can 'open them for me?'.

@Sweetpea1532and
Fuck no! Not even as something to boat about

*blat not boat. Fecking stoopid kindle.

I actually bought some today on the back of this thread.

Thanks for reminding me to add to my shopping list.

@FuckKnowsMate

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!

I bought two boxes for over Christmas and was very upset that they weren’t as good as they should have been

They are good from a box, but one Christmas I had some in a bucket. It was special.

@SlightlyJaded yes he does for some reason , and as he's home schooling whilst I'm working from home I think they're going to be opened very soon!

I once went to a singles night where it was a lock and key party, and if you found your match you win a spot prize. One delightful young man had won a box of Maltesers and offered me some. I'm clumsy at the best of times and managed to knock the entire box all over the sticky, cocktail soaked floor. He looked bereft.

A bucket?! How big?

@marthastew
Lucky you...I'm so envious
Where is that factory located? Lucky people living around the factory get to enjoy the smell of chocolate all day.That sounds too good to be true ..
I think I'll put that factory tour on my bucket list

@LAgeDeRaisin
What a super DH you have...
May I borrow him to run out and get me some Maltesers since like Libraries, I'm starting to crave them.?

It's on an industrial estate in Slough.

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

How? It's the 13th January FGS!

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

Yes, like coca cola tastes better out of glass bottles.

Oh yes!

@marthastew I think I'll be dreaming about that factory tonight. No, I hope I'll be dreaming about it!

I'd move to Slough just to work at the Malteser factory

@MusicToMyEars800

I love the little chewy ones there should be more!

You utter deviant. No.
