Uch. gross things. Why do they always put more of them in then any other type? It's the element of suprise that I find the hardest, they creep up on you whilst you are engrossed in a film, disguised as a malteser/toffee/coffee ball then all hell breaks loose when you bite into them, they destroy the taste of everything else as anything after them is just tainted with that vile orange taste.

I've even tried guessing by sniffing them individually but they all smell alike on the outside. What am i to do?

Keep them and send them to me- those and the coffee ones are my faves!

FoghornLeghorn · 18/04/2008 17:39

Oh I lurve Revels - all the better now they've removed the peanut ones !

StealthPolarBear · 18/04/2008 17:39

yanbu
they should be banned,, replaced with toffee ones
(did you think of this after reading the jelly babies thread? )

hifi · 18/04/2008 17:40

coffee and orange are the work of the devil. you should be able to pick and mix your own bag.

peanutbear · 18/04/2008 17:40

YABU they are the only ones I like

Lucycat · 18/04/2008 17:41

totally agree with FoghornLeghorn - I hate all nuts so could never eat revels for fear of striking unlucky and getting the dreaded nut one.

You could switch to maltesers?

Blandmum · 18/04/2008 17:41

Coffe is the worst, and then orange

ellideb · 18/04/2008 17:42

don't know who mentioned it but we def need a sweet swap thread
or just do what i do - eat dairy milk. no nasty surprises

twinsetandpearls · 18/04/2008 17:44

I love the ornage ones it is the coffee I hate.

constancereader · 18/04/2008 17:45

toffee are rubbish, I like the orange ones the best. Followed by coffee.

Lauriefairycake · 18/04/2008 17:45

I love 'em too

DH won't even buy Revels as he's scared of the coffee ones

hifi · 18/04/2008 17:46

constan, you are not normal

emj23 · 18/04/2008 17:46

Revels are just generally wrong. The coffee ones are foul, the orange ones are so sweet you can feel your teeth melting, the ones that look like Minstrels aren't Minstrels, therefore naff. The toffees are too chewy and the Malteser ones are always stale. I agree with StealthPolarBear, Dairy Milk wins every time.

Dottydot · 18/04/2008 17:54

YABU - they're the ones that are sent from heaven and because they're not gluten-free, I can't have them. . I miss orange revels

princessmel · 18/04/2008 17:56

I hate the orange and coffee ones. Gross.

I take a tiny bite into them and when I discover they are the yukky ones I give them to dh. He's getting fed up with this deal though. Especially when I've half chewed them.

I am with constancereader on this one. I love the orange and coffee ones and find the toffee ones revolting. However I do have a 95% success rate in identifying various flavours by the shape prior to eating them so usually manage to hoik out the toffee ones. A highly useless talent I know but hey ho!

SquonkTheBeerGuru · 18/04/2008 18:11

now they've ditched the peanut ones, I like them all.

All of them I tell ye!!!!

(lapin - I got my dongle today )

Heathcliffscathy · 18/04/2008 18:16

orange ones are what you buy revels for!!!

SheWillBeLoved · 18/04/2008 18:18

Any sort of fruit or coffee chocolate makes me want to projectile vomit all over the eejit that invented the things. Complete waste of chocolate!

YABeing Insane.

I love the orange and the coffee ones, the toffee are dull, the maltesers are dull - i just want a packet of pure fondant fillings ideally.
