Maltesers.

There. I said it. I've just eaten some for the first time in ages, in case my opinion had changed, and I just don't get it. Why are they so popular? They've got to be the dullest chocolate going.

I wish I could enable voting for this one.

@LochJessMonster. Don't. Like. Cheese ??????

Thelnebriati · 31/01/2020 12:42

Who are you people. I don't know any of you.

Neverender · 31/01/2020 12:52

SidneyPrescott they're always like, "Ooh, you're awfully tense!" Yes, Karen, because you're touching my side-boob and I don't know you!! Grin

GiveHerHellFromUs · 31/01/2020 12:54

Malteasers are shit but you lost my support when you mentioned chocolate oranges

hectorglooplovesapoop · 31/01/2020 12:56

Doughnuts. Absolutely grim.

Dusty, gritty sugar coating to contend with. I remember the horrible feeling of the sugar stuck to my lips and jam spewing out the side. 🤢

Sweetdreamer93 · 31/01/2020 12:57

You should see your GP.

You may have been doing it all wrong so I will help.
You take 1 or 2 Maltesers, pop them in your chomping machine but don’t chomp!
You then add a mouthful of tea.
You will feel and see the gateway to heaven and you will then asked for this silly post to be deleted.

I like them. A lot.

But I utterly detest reading them misspelt as Malteasers. It makes my teeth start gnashing.

hibiscuswater · 31/01/2020 12:58

I also don't like chocolate oranges or gin. Or wine.

BercowsFlyingFlamingo · 31/01/2020 12:59

Maltesers are best straight from the freezer. Chocolate oranges are now vile.

I don't like being touched so the idea of massages or spa days has me freaking out (silently).

Gravy is the devil's diarrhoea.

littlepaddypaws · 31/01/2020 13:00

i don't get the fuss around gin nor processco - both...words fail me, urgh perhaps ?

Andersonx3 · 31/01/2020 13:00

@Pollaidh yesssss agree. DH and I shared a box last night and he demolished them in seconds and I'd had about 3 because I refuse to bite them!

ToastandCheese · 31/01/2020 13:00

I also don’t like chocolate orange or gin.

I like Maltesers, but malteser buttons are not good.

hectorglooplovesapoop · 31/01/2020 13:01

I posted before reading other responses. Thought we were all listing things that we don't like Grin

TwoZeroTwoZero · 31/01/2020 13:01

Chocolate oranges (or any orange chocolate apart from Jaffa Cakes) are awful.

Maltesers are delicious. It's impossible to eat just one.

Bipbipbipbip · 31/01/2020 13:01

I like them but I don't like the risk of getting the dodgy soft one.

vampirethriller · 31/01/2020 13:03

I don't like Nutella.

DeathByPuppy · 31/01/2020 13:04

I’m with you on the dreaded ‘spa day’ but Maltesers are good. Terry’s CO used to be a real treat but they have been disgusting for a few years now; greasy with a distinct lack of either orange or chocolate flavour. Really disappointing.

GrannyBags · 31/01/2020 13:08

I’m not a huge fan of chocolate at all. Occasionally will have a Freddo but that’s about it.

IntermittentParps · 31/01/2020 13:13

I like Maltesers. There's a Maltesers spread that I'm a bit hooked on. I didn't know you could get buttons Shock

I love Terry's chocolate orange but only the dark one, which I can't find these days.

Ohnoherewego62 · 31/01/2020 13:15

You're a sadist OP.... have you had counselling???

I love Maltesers!!!!!

TweetUsOnFacebook · 31/01/2020 13:19

I don't like the summer. July and August are my worst months. I'd happily sleep through them.

I love Malteasers though Grin

Angelw · 31/01/2020 13:20

I Recently bought a pack for my niece( last December) and totally agree with OP I hate them too! That must have been the only time I’ve bought them in the last 12 years 🙈. Sorry but not to my taste.

SidneyPrescott · 31/01/2020 13:23

@Ohnoherewego62

The thing is, I know I'm the weird one, but I just don't understand why!

I also wholeheartedly agree with doughnuts. The jam in them is gross. I always moan when people bring in treats for the office as it's always doughnuts, but secretly I'm pleased because I could do with losing some timber.

I also agree with regards to Prosecco. Overrated. Having said that, I was put in charge of Prosecco at my brothers wedding, presumably because they thought I could be trusted. Anyway, long story short, I got smashed on free Prosecco.

They're not what they used to be. I used to love them but the chocolate's not the same anymore. The Malteser Easter eggs are revolting.

Dowser · 31/01/2020 13:33

I don’t like vegan cheese
I’ve accepted my lot to be gluten and dairy free for the rest of my life but vegan cheese is so wrong
What I’d give for some proper blue Stilton..yes even on. A gf cracker
