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?

It would appear this question has already been asked😂
I might tweet them to ask for more squidgy ones.

nicenewdusters it’s a reduced price Christmas box . The toddler’s ok. He can only fit one in his hand at every grab so I’m winning!

Anyone else put three malteasers in their mouth at once, suck all the chocolate off & wait for the inside parts to collapse? ..... or is that just me

I have messaged them requesting more squidgy ones.
Am eagerly awaiting their reply.

Yes @ineedaholidaynow

I bite all the chocolate off the outside then put the middle in my mouth and let it melt... it’s the best thing ever also I do let the whole thing melt in the mouth occasionally.

FeltCarrot I am eagerly awaiting to see if they reply, please do let us squidgy malteaser fans know

My dad bought my mum a 'magic refilling' (for a few months) box a few times. No wonder I have such a high standard for men

@nicenewdusters As I am feeling generous, I shall throw you not 1, not 2 but 3 whole maltesers. Enjoy and please make them last

On the strength of this I have broken into a box of Lindor Mint Balls that were left over frim Christmas and I was saving for Easter! I'm popping them in whole and sucking very hard to shrink them down and pretend they're Maltesers! Not working

@HouseOfCrayCray I can only fit two in at once but yes I suck the chocolate off and squash the middles with my tongue. Doing it right now.

I don't like Malteasers but I have just eaten the very last of the Christmas chocolate and it wasn't enough. There is definitely a gap in the market for a chocolate delivery service!

because you're to lazy to get up and pass them properly!

😂

Yeah like that’s ever going to happen!

I put mine in the freezer. Then drink tea so the chocolate defrosts and the honeycomb pops and crackles. You're welcome
Boxes make for easier stacking in said freezer

And yes by messing around with the box, they have totally ruined the Maltesers sensory experience (putting your whole hand in and rattling them around to try and fool yourself you still have a full layer!)

YA totally BU for making this thread, I am really really craving them right now!!

I once received a wrapped box of malteasers as a gift from one of my Rainbows. It was obviously malteasers, you could tell by the shake.

Later that night, I settled down to a cup of tea and thought I'd have a few of the wonderful little bites of loveliness to go with it.

Ripped open the wrapping paper, only to find it was a box of Fry's fruit jellies!

I have never, NEVER felt so disappointed in my life. Who the fuck buys fruit jellies!! I was distraught for years. Even now, at least 10 years later. I'm scarred for life frankly.

I shared this on Facebook though and at every opportunity, friends, colleagues and relations buy me Malteasers. . I fact, I have 3 big boxes and 2 of the slight less tasty Malteasers hybrid truffle things stashed away for when I need them!

Ha Ha I am now eating a large box I was given for Xmas but too ill over Xmas to eat and then forgot until I saw this thread.

JustMarriedBecca you have blown my mind, I am off to buy malteasers in the morning to try said suggestion of freezer and tea.

WHA---?

Those jelly things are an abomination. They are only manufactured to be donated as Professional Raffle Prizes - you know the type. the prizes which are won, and re-donated the following year, and the year after, and the year after that, ad infinitum.

They are never intended to be opened, let alone eaten.

@edwinbear how have people missed your 962 Easter egg comment! How, why!? (Can I have one?)

Ooh this thread just reminded me I bought one of those special Christmas bags with fun size malteasers bits and half is still in the cupboard. I have a selection of malteasers, malteasers buttons and merryteasers here

Fry’s fruit jelly’s! gutted.

There is NOTHING fun about "fun sized" chocolate.

I've just tipped the unbeaten bag of Celebrations that we bought for Christmas into a bowl and am happily picking out all the Malteser ones. Doesn't compare to a box of Maltesers though - mine lasted 2 days over Christmas with only me eating them
