To expect more then two fuxking Twirls in my tub of Heroes!

They are my favourite 😭. Take me back to the 80's when you used to dive into a tin of Rose's/Quality street to find your favourite chocolates. And what the fuck is the cadburys crème egg all about?! Absolutely fuming 😬

The creme eggs need to go but we got two almost full size Twirls. Would have preferred more as they're the best but nice surprise.

I think I read somewhere there is a twirl shortage...

PlaitBilledDuckyPuss · 26/12/2022 13:23

There is a shortage of them. At one stage they were putting a normal-sized Twirl into the Heroes boxes instead.

Manchester Evening News on this topic (no pun intended).

In truth, they should just fill the box with the Crunchies and not bother with the rest.

ScarierThanBoo · 26/12/2022 13:43

It's the same with the fun size bags too. There was fucking 1 and the rest was Chomps and Fudge, they're nice but ffs

Sparklesocks · 26/12/2022 13:45

There’s a mini twirl shortage - some people apparently got the larger bars in theirs to compensate! We didn’t get any in ours this year so I’d happily take two 😭

Stardustkid · 26/12/2022 13:45

Yeah it’s one of the weird shortages we have

Chatrattoria · 26/12/2022 13:45

I think there must be a Twirl shortage. We got large sized Twirls from a multipack in our tub.

Meltinthemiddle · 26/12/2022 13:50

Wtf how can there be a twirl shortage? 😱

1st tub a couple of months ago, when I'd seen mention of full sized Twirls, = normal tub contents.

Tub I opened Christmas Eve = 2 full sized Twirls & no mini ones.

Tub full of Crunchie ones would be awesome.

Shame there are no Bounties or I would trade you. I have seven unopened tins of Heroes / Celebrations / Quality Street and I'm not really a fan of chocolate, except for Bounties.

Dotjones · 26/12/2022 14:21

YANBU but I'm surprised you got so many Wispas in there, that's a good haul as far as I'm concerned. I've checked my records and over the past few years I've always had five Twirls and five Wispas. Only looks like you've got four fudges there, normally my tubs are rammed full of the horrible things.

When reading about food shortages it never occurred to me chocolate would be a casualty ...

Is it that there's a missing magical short supply ingredient that makes Twirls different from other chocolate?

Or have the mini Twirls migrated herdlike en masse somewhere for Christmas? (Wonder what collective term for a group of mini Twirls is?)

Can't decide between devastated on account of chocolate addiction or happy on account of expanding waist line

Please let the Fudges remain safe 😮

We had two normal sized twirls in our tub! It was a fantastic day...

Exhausteddog · 26/12/2022 15:54

We were similarly appalled at only 2 teasers and 3 galaxy (total) in a box of celebrations and a stupid amount of milky ways which are gross

See, if I wanted normal sized Twirls I'd buy a multipack for a lot less.
The point of tubs of chocolates are that everyone gets a choice and they are small portions (until you eat 10 🤣). Full sized things makes a mockery of that.

That would be a crunchy, rocky hell 😳

LadyChamberlain · 26/12/2022 16:27

We also got 2 full sized ones.
