Revels - anyone else do this?

A lightweight conundrum for you all this cold dark evening …
Bloody love a chocolate Revel. But I hate the coffee ones. 🤢 The orange ones however are 👩‍🍳😘
I bite them in half then chuck it if it’s coffee. Kind of Russian roulette with a bag of chocolate kind of vibe.

Is this wrong? YABU
Yep I do it. I do or would if I’d thought of it YANBU

I hate coffee but coffee revels are the only coffee flavour thing I have ever liked the taste of. I'm not a fan of the toffee ones though.

Marylou62 · 16/10/2023 20:53

Do any of you remember the tv advert for Revels?
It was so funny..filmed like The Deer Hunter... very dark but instead of a getting the bullet playing Russian Roulette it was the coffee chocolate!

Sidebeforeself · 16/10/2023 20:53

Im still mourning the loss of the coconut ones

bombastix · 16/10/2023 20:53

@Marylou62 yes I remember! Very funny

tulippa · 16/10/2023 20:54

Not a fan of Revels at all. The orange and coffee ones (don't like either of those) just contaminate everything else. Would much rather just have a bag of Maltesers or Minstrels.

I love Revels.

I still clearly recall the advert of someone tipping a bag of Revels into a chocolate box.

They are my go to treat for a cinema trip.

I love them all apart from the toffee one.

YABU coffee ones are the best. It's those little raisin ones that I hate!

Mumaway · 16/10/2023 20:56

YABU. Coffee are the best, orange are the devil's work, and must be left to the end until you are so desperate you nibble the chocolate off and throw the horrid filling in the bin

KindaDefinitelyMaybe · 16/10/2023 20:56

I only buy Revels for the coffee ones.

MassageForLife · 16/10/2023 20:57

Am I the only person that will happily eat all of them?

No. But there is a hierarchy of deliciousness

Coffee lovers are peasants.

Love Revels , love the , rare , orange ones and generally like all the others... NOT coffee ones.

However, I feel they are due a change.
Replace the B@STARD COFFEE ones WITH... Turkish delight? Peanut butter? Mint?

bombastix · 16/10/2023 21:01

Mint???

It would ruin the palate and balance of flavours

AnyFucker · 16/10/2023 21:03

I share a large bag with DH and divide them up so I hopefully don’t get the maltesers and the raisins

HarrietSchulenberg · 16/10/2023 21:03

I like all of them and have been known to put fistfuls into my mouth at once so they all get mixed up together.

AnyFucker · 16/10/2023 21:04

I eat two at once too but I do that with most sweets/chocolate

EwwSprouts · 16/10/2023 21:04

YABU to bite them in half. A true coffee avoider bites gently to crack off just a bit of the chocolate, and none of the questionable centre, to establish if it is the devil coffee.

GellerYeller · 16/10/2023 21:04

Love them all but I do find that the chocolate on the Maltesers seems thinner so you can’t bite it off and eat the centre afterwards!

CopperLion · 16/10/2023 21:05

Everyone plays roulette with Revels, even if preferences differ. It’s half the fun.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 16/10/2023 21:05

@bombastix agreed. I like the whole lot of Rebels but I do have a ranking system. I also like to make flavour combos with them.

Judellie · 16/10/2023 21:05

I love all of them, mostly because there are NO REVOLTING NUTS (or mint) in them!

MightyFine · 16/10/2023 21:06

Nah, you have to eat them! Even the coffee ones <hard stare>

That's the whole point of Revels! The dizzy highs and the crashing lows

Oh most definitely!! But none are destined for the bin in my house.

AlwaysFoldingWashing · 16/10/2023 20:27

Coffee and orange are the best! Raisins go right in the bin

I suck the chocolate off the raisins and chuck them back in.
