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?

[AlCalavicci]

@randomsabreuse I recon between you me and @Sweetpea1532 we could hunt down a box in no time at all , we would be the top gang in London

[Sweetpea1532]

Yes! @AlCalavicci...I'll start packing!

[AlCalavicci]

Don't forget to bring the bunting and a table for your stall when you sell moon pies and Maltesers outside Buck palace

[Sweetpea1532]

Oh, @AlCalavicci whatever would I do without your patient reminders...I'd forgotten all about the moonpies that I promised last year to introduce to the UK.
I think @mathanxiety had the great idea to sell oatmeal creme-filled sandwiches from Dollartree

[Poptasmagorical]

That book sounds amazing! Imagine as a kid feeling really smug that you've got something so precious!

[AlCalavicci]

I would love a book like that , Something that had a real prize to hunt for would be cool .

In a world that lives in my very odd imagination we would be able to buy mystery books that were set in the town I live in and I would have to go around the town looking for clues to work out the puzzle / mystery . But each book would have to be slightly different do that there could be no online sharing / cheating

It's almost December so I thought I'd send you all seasons greetings before I forget.
I was at the shops yesterday and was tempted into buying Maltesers new mint buttons 🤢
First of all, buttons shouldn't even have the Maltesers name attached to the packet and definitely should not be flavoured with mint...warning: don't fall for their flashy packaging...stick to the good ole chocolaty malt goodness of the original balls don't know where MN has hidden edge the Christmas emojis!

I had some sort of weird Maltesers buttons that my MIL gave me. They were foul. I don't even care if I lose my sponsorship over that decision!

[SwtPeasOnEarth]

@Poptasmagorical ! Hey!
Didn't know you still had your sponsorship!

Don't lose a Malteser when there's a pet in the room
You'll never see it again

Malteasers in a box at a Christmas showing of Aristocats when I was about four. Perfect.

I also used to like those Rowentrees fruit gums in box, the ones that were shaped like the actual fruits rather than the (then) knobbly ones in a roll. You used to get them at kiosks in cinemas and theatres.

Reminds me of Masquerade Described as the inspiration for armchair puzzle books...

[SwtPeasOnEarth]

@Monty27
...a dropped ball is a free ball...plus, said pet knows a human possessing mighty Maltesers isn't about to share.

[SwtPeasOnEarth]

@YouGotThisKeepGoing
Maltesers always tasted so much better at the cinema...fruit gums, too...they must have had a special ingredient mixed in to the theatre versions

[Offmyfence]

@MusicToMyEars800

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

True fact.

[SwtPeasOnEarth]

@Offmyfence
@MusicToMyEars800
Definitely a fact!

[Monty27]

If you lose a Malteser and cutie pie cat can't get to it go get it if you want any floor furniture or rugs left.
Pesky weirdos that they are..

[SwtPeasOnEarth]

@Monty27
Oooh, THAT'S what you were talking about with pets that will retrieve dropped Maltesers 😂
I wasn't aware that cats find Maltesers delicious chocolaty balls, also...or is it that they like to bat them around and drool chocolate everywhere 😂

[Davros]

We had bowls of Malteasers and Smarties with the tea/coffee at our wedding. It was quite a posh do, honest!

[Monty27]

@SwtPeasOnEarth it's when the silly cat can't get it from under furniture and you find it 6 months later cat having drooled all over it is now a fluff ball

[SwtPeasOnEarth]

Ewww, @Monty27...I love Maltesers but I don't even I would eat one like that

[Monty27]

Yes even the cat drew the line at a furry Malteser 😃

[SwtPeasOnEarth]

@Monty27
Do you still have this non-fuzzy, Maltesers-eating cat? If so, I have officially awarded it the honour of "Monty's Cat Maltesers Mascot"
Only requirement is that you must provided a photo of said mascot for the campaign

[Poptasmagorical]

Happy holidays and new year and all those things, fellow Maltesers fiends

[SwtPeasOnEarth]

Hey, @Poptasmagorical!
Did you get some Maltesers for Christmas this year? Tell me where you've hidden them...I won't tell!
