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.

I wouldn't say the worst.. but the chocolate is definitely second tier.

Personally I'm currently in love with the darkmilk hazelnut bars

Lucylivesinamushroomhouse · 31/01/2020 16:20

YANBU.

But YABU about chocolate oranges - yuck!

Also dislike Nutella.

And cake. Felt like a punishment to get cake in a party bag when I was little. Still can’t really understand what the fuss is about.

DeathByPuppy I recommend you melt the Lindt chocolate and add a drop more orange oil.
Also works with Galaxy (although thats not as good now they started using disgusting palm oil.)

Wickedwitchofthewest789 · 31/01/2020 16:22

I'm with you, definitely inferior chocolate. I don't like the fancy stuff either, Hotel Chocolat yuk. Cadburys all the way.

EL8888 · 31/01/2020 16:24

I feel the same. Not sure if the appeal. But l know lm in the minority

faints in shock

Billyeyelash · 31/01/2020 16:27

Sorry, malteser are great for sucking so hard the roof of your mouth hurts.

Galaxy should be removed of its chocolate title. Acts like it's going to deliver something gorgeous but delivers notbing. Tasteless.

Now give me Tony bar.

Miltonj · 31/01/2020 16:29

I love maltesers buttons, bars, easter bunnies/christmas reindeer, but i would never chose to eat an actual malteser.

midwestfornow · 31/01/2020 16:33

I like most chocolate but not frys Turkish delight.
I don't like beer, not even super artsy beer

SidneyPrescott · 31/01/2020 16:40

I'm glad I posted. It's comforting to know I'm know the only one.

They are the dullest, most overrated chocolate on the market.

And do you know what makes them even worse? They're everyone's "go-to" as a token gift, because everyone assumes everyone loves a Malteser!

We cannot be friends, we just can't!

SidneyPrescott · 31/01/2020 16:45

Woah, @spongejack, lets not be hasty.

Surely, I'm actually better friend material as I'd give you my Maltesers?

Peas. Don't give me peas. I'll eat any other vegetable, but don't give me peas Envy [NOT envy]

2018SoFarSoGreat · 31/01/2020 16:47

I'm reporting this thread op. You are obviously a troll of the lowest order :)

Love maltesers. Something even better is available if you to go an American baseball game. A malt(ed) - I think that's what they call it. It is like frozen, ice cream textured maltesers. So delectable. It reminds me of being in hospital as a kid and getting Ovaltine at bedtime.

I don't like beer. Or tea. Or milk. Or whiskey.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 31/01/2020 16:47

Yabu.I make a gorgeous maltesers cheesecake.

Melt butter
Mix with crushed digestives
Pat down in sandwich tin.

Mix soft cheese with (a lot of) maltesers spread then put on top of biscuit base.

Top with maltesers and put in fridge to set

TrueFriendsStabYouInTheFront · 31/01/2020 16:48

Can't believe what I'm reading, Maltesers are just beautiful ❤️ so much love for those little balls of dreams. I HAVE to eat them 2 at a time though so a bag lasts me only seconds Sad

SidneyPrescott · 31/01/2020 16:53

I'm with you on the peas, though I did appreciate the Give Peas A Chance bridge regardless.

Who knew this would prove to be so controversial (me - that's why I posted 😈)

Terry's Chocolate Orange used to be lovely, now it's just lumps of fake-orange tasting wax 🤢

Most mainstream chocolate is shit now, though, because of palm oil, including Maltesers Sad

Franticbutterfly · 31/01/2020 17:23

I love them. For the record, I utterly hate the taste of Cadbury’s since they changed the recipe, don’t know why they haven’t realised people just don’t like it anymore.

Gingaaarghpussy · 31/01/2020 17:52

I had a huge box of maltesers given to me at xmas, I then went out and bought myself another large box 3 days later. Love them.
Honey however, bleurgh.

Susiesoap7 · 31/01/2020 20:01

Maltesers, gin, wagon wheels, massages! Ugh 😑

SidneyPrescott · 01/02/2020 12:16

The kid likes Maltesers and is willing to be bribed with them.

This is an absolute result!
