...and she has the same favourite quality street as me.

Would I be unreasonable to send her home?😂 I'm usually the only one with this favourite, I'm not used to sharing!

Can you not take your favourites out of the tin before she comes?

Namerequired · 22/12/2024 20:37

Just buy 2 tins 😜 Which one is it?

Jellycatspyjamas · 22/12/2024 20:37

Remove all but two of your favourite ones, reseal the box and mourn loudly that they’ve only given you two orange creams (other favourites are available) - terrible how unbalanced quality street is these days. Enjoy your secret stash in private.

Buy one of those bags with the single flavours now I think? Favourites? Stock up!

She's already here - I didn't realise before she arrived!

Get them all out now. Buy another tin.

buttonousmaximous · 22/12/2024 21:42

If it's strawberry or orange eat them now!!

GiddyRobin · 22/12/2024 21:54

It's a dog eat dog world, OP. Elbow her out the way, rummage furiously and then make a run for it. Lock yourself in the bathroom to gobble and then reemerge victorious.

(If you value your friendship, then do not follow this advice. Buy another tin. 😂)

RhodaDendron · 22/12/2024 22:11

Is it the orange creams or the orange crunch?
Perhaps a secret stash of these in your sock drawer?:

Quality Street in tins? Where? Not in the UK for at least forty years. What madness is this? You'll have a disposable polythene tub and like it!

I bought a tin last year, and am refilling it this year.

You’re not compatible as friends.

Sack it off. Send her home.

CookiePookie · 22/12/2024 22:25

You can buy the proper tin on Ocado :)

You can definitely get tins! Saw loads in B&M today.

Cantrushart · 22/12/2024 23:46

I wish the tins were square or rectangle. Better for reusing as storage.

MumOfOneAllAlone · 22/12/2024 23:48

This means you're going to have to buy and consume extra, really

It's one of those things that can't be helped x

sesquipedalian · 22/12/2024 23:57

I bought a tin yesterday in Aldi. In answer to your dilemma, I think you’re going to have to send Friend out to buy some more….

WeAreOnTheRoadToNowhere · 22/12/2024 23:58

How can anyone have a favourite that isn't the green triangle
And does anyone love the toffee penny?

Stick a fucking mousetrap in there.

How very dare she!

I used to fight over the green triangles with my Dad 😥

This. Sorted.

BrieHugger · 23/12/2024 00:41

I tried to get a full tin of the green triangles at John Lewis pick n mix, but it was the only one that had completely sold out.

LarkinAboot · 23/12/2024 00:42

John Lewis has the pick n mix style quality street pop up where you can select just the ones you want.
