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?

@Davros

I just saw your post about providing big bowls of Smarties and Maltesers at your wedding do 😂
I can imagine all your guests were quite impressed with the poshness of your offerings.

It was very "us"!

@Davros
My kind of people! Sounds like you might be perfect for the Maltesers spokesperson spot if @Poptasmagorical ever needs a break

@SwtPeasOnEarth I'm not quite ready to give it up just yet! Maybe in thirty years or so...

I didn't get any for Christmas but I did get one of those giant boxes for Christmas Eve. And I even had some left on Boxing Day!

Oh, @Poptasmagorical
You've always been sooo dedicated to your position...you ARE the right person to represent the Maltesers brand....I believe I've heard rumours that you're up for another Queen's Honour for Saving the Economy of the UK again this year.
What on Earth could anyone have given you for Christmas gifts if not your favourite Maltesers? I'm glad someone came to their senses and you received a giant box for a Christmas Eve present...you are so easy to buy for...I'm just glad you didn't receive any of the new mint flavoured ones...I tried those..bleurgh!

@AlCalavicci...haven't heard from you lately...are you in a chocolate coma from all the Maltesers you've been scarfing down this Holiday season?

@ElfCalavicci
Thanks for alerting me about the official Christmas name change this year...that was fun... Yours was truly inspired

Hi @SwtPeasOnEarth, I hope you had a good christmas, I am thinking about a new year name change too . . . . . . . .

There we go , not exactly awe-inspiring but it will do for a few days

@NewYearCalavicci
I like it! But, of course everything goes well with Calavicci!

[quote Ohtherewearethen]@Helena - how? I'm sorry but I don't trust people like you. Did you think they were After Eights?
I bought some earlier funnily enough. I hide them in the cupboard my husband never goes in simply so I don't have to share. Sharing maltesers is certainly not a 'thing' in our house and it'll be a cold day in hell before it becomes one.[/quote]
I’ve eaten the maltesers but you’ve just reminded me that there must be a rogue snack bag in the house, as I bought After Eights and Turkish delight…now where did I hide that in November?

@Lifeisbeautiful01
If you PM me your address I will come round and help you look for them and do a taste test yo make sure they haven t gone off

Why thank you kind @SwtPeasOnEarth .

@NewYearCalavicci
You're the kind one..offering to do free taste tests !

The things I do to help out fellow MNters

@NewYearCalavicci
😂😂😂 I've missed your wonderful sense of humour...every time I go to the pound shop and see a packet of sidewalk chalk I think of that hilarious chalk-on-the-drive thread! That was so much MN fun.
My DH is making noises about another mural...think of you then, too.
A nice pat to your kitty from me!😺

The chalk thread makes me smile when I think about it .

Poor kitty us going to the vets this afternoon, not sure what's wrong with him but he is really out of sorts

We need to find another thread to take over !

@NewYearCalavicci
I'm sorry to hear puddy is not feeling well. I've been reading a thread on the Litter Tray and several kitties are feeling poorly lately...I hope yours gets to feeling better right away, AL.
Yes! Be on the look out for a new thread to join...although that chalk one might just be a once in a lifetime

@NewYearCalavicci
Any news about your little puddy? Fingers crossed he's back to his wonderful purring self

@SwtPeasOnEarth go over to the litter tray , just posted there.

@NewYearCalavicci
I'm headed over right now!

I don’t share and the way I feel today I’d love a box but they’re so expensive now.

@Holothane
I'm sorry you are having a crummy day
I had no idea Maltesers have gone up in price...what a terrible revelation!
@AnneKipankitoo
Would you pretty please post your Maltesers gif on here? It's very topical and might just cheer up Holo.

BTW, Costco has started selling a lifetime supply of Moonpies ..might just be the right time for our snack selling Buckingham Palace scheme..especially since the Queen is said to have left the palace...we could possibly use some of the rooms for office space and extra inventory
