new Quality Street wrappers moan

[garlicandsapphires]

I know this is a truly fatuous thing to mither about, but I am grumpy about the new Quality Streets eco wrappers.
Generally I am all in favour of reducing single use plastic, but the old wrappers were so Christmassy. They SMELT of pure Christmas, and it made my annual QS audit a joy.
Now I can't do my audit because the wrappers are ALL WRONG.

AND the crispy orange and green triangle are no more!!

AIBU? (I'm not)

They are a bit sadder for sure. We have green triangles in our box though

They're very depressing I agree and there's barely any in the box now. The only old school one we have is the green triangle.

It's not right lol. Although I did have some orange crispy ones in our tub.

Green triangle is still there

I stopped buying them as there are so few chocolates in them now

I opened a pack today and totally agree, they look a bit sad.

Stop It
Less plastic is good
You will soon get used to them

I miss the old huge tins that seemed to last forever.

Totally agree, you are not BU.

Plus the old ones crinkled nicely and made great cat toys over Christmas - even if we were finding them under sofas for months later. Cat is sad 😾😂

Those wrappers were like jewels in a dish..all shiney and Christmassy
And they smelled luscious..
It's a sad day

I think the key is to eat them all really fast OP so you don't have to look at the wrappers for long.

We had a tub in the office yesterday and just about every person who looked at them was so disappointed at the new wrappers.

You mean you can't unwrap them and look through the wrappers anymore.

Me too ..now it's plastic tubs and cacky wrappers

can someone post a pic of the new wrappers?

I've just opened a pack and DS (18) was extremely vocal in his disappointment at how 'un-Christmassy' the wrappers were, which is unlike him as he's usually too busy being 'gangsta' to care.

He also said 'It's such a load of bollocks about 'being green' when they shove them in a great plastic tub!' which I agree with.

Thank you @vodkaredbullgirl .I totally see the problem.
Can you really not have climate friendly wrapping that is less ugly?

Yeah, I’m not impressed with the new wrappers, but I’m sure both the green triangle and crispy orange were still there last week.

No

Agreed, they look all look like cheap toffees now. However I had crispy orange and green triangles in my most recent tubs (plural), both still in foil.

Out of the same tub

I don’t even bother buying them anymore now. Crappy plastic tub that’s got barely anything in and now not even the proper wrappers.

I agree. I know I’m supposed to be all right on about them being more eco friendly and I genuinely am about most changes like this, but I just cannot feel happy about this one. All the twinkly Christmassy joy has gone from them. It’s bad enough that they don’t taste as nice as they did 20 years ago (and don’t get me started on Roses which are actually inedible these days and have been for years), but I miss those shiny wrappers so much.
