YANBU.

They are horrible.

The strawberry ones in particular remind me of this particularly foul medecine I had to take as a child for worms....

CuppaTeaJanice · 13/01/2010 12:49

Well I love orange & strawberry creams - always snaffle them down first when the tin is opened.

Have also been known to scoff a couple of spoonfuls of calpol when ds has been ill - it's just so yummy!! They should make a non-medicinal version, would make great ice-cream topping!!!

I love strawberry and orange creams, but I don't eat Calpol.

There was a thing in the Guardian about the order in which a box of chocs tends to disappear and their conclusion was that nobody likes the fruit creams, but this is NOT TRUE. I was quite . Apparently most people like the pralines and truffles ... as afar as I'm concerned you can have 'em!

YANBU I like strawberry but not orange ones. I hate toffees and since I am the primary chocolate eater in our house there are always toffees left over and in some boxes that is alot of toffees!

LetThereBeRock · 13/01/2010 12:58

YABVU.They are delicious.

TrillianAstra · 13/01/2010 12:59

Quality St ones are better than Roses ones.

Pikelit · 13/01/2010 13:11

Orange creams are mine in this house. Strawberry ones are only fit for Satan.

LetThereBeRock · 13/01/2010 13:13

Bring back coffee creams.

RJRabbit · 13/01/2010 13:13

No, you have that around the wrong way, Trillian, Roses ones are better than Quality St.!

They should sell boxes with just those flavours - yum!

PersonalClown · 13/01/2010 13:17

I lurve Strawberry and orange creams!

But Why do they make that disgusting large Green Triangle and not a Strawberry one ??

Harumph

ButterPie · 13/01/2010 13:23

I love all the soft ones, but particularly the fruit ones. Worst are the chewy toffee ones that get all stuck in your teeth - urgh.

The best chocolates IN THE WORLD are the cherry liqueurs from fenwicks food hall, with full cherries in the middle. Mouth is watering just thinking about them!

Dumbledoresgirl · 13/01/2010 13:25

Eh? What is this nonsense? The only chocs I pick from the box are the fruit creams. Oh and the coffee creams.

BertieBotts · 13/01/2010 13:25

Strawberry, Coffee and Orange creams are the best. They seem to be love or hate though (especially coffee) - I've never found anyone who is indifferent about them.

Flavoured lube tastes like calpol

thumbwitch · 13/01/2010 13:29

I love people who don't like orange/strawberry/coffee creams - all the more for me! Yum.

What I can't understand/ bear is peanuts encased in chocolate - disGUSting.

I've never tried calpol but calprofen is a nice strawberry flavour - DS always wants more than his dose.

BrahmsThirdRacket · 13/01/2010 13:30

Strawberry and orange creams are my absolute favourite. I chose my DP solely on the basis that he doesn't like them but will eat all the hazlenut and praline crap that I hate.

ShutUpandDrinkYourGin · 13/01/2010 13:31

the cream ones are disgusting - peppermint especially

tethersend · 13/01/2010 13:32

YABU.

I would kill a man for an orange cream.

As long as it were a milk chocolate one. I'm not an animal.

FreakoidOrganisoid · 13/01/2010 13:36

No need to kill tethersend, I'll send you mine.

I will also gladly take any green triangles, coffee creams or other nutty ones off anyone#s hands.

YABVU, they are lovely.

Calpol tastes foul!

I had to take ds1's 6 plus calpol yesterday as fell of my bike and no paracetomol. It was one of the most foul things ever. Had to have 4 spoonfuls. Bleurgh!!

Nothing like strawberry creams. If you have any spares send them my way please

fiveisanawfullybignumber · 13/01/2010 13:40

I only eat the strawberry & orange cream ones, no others.
Am i strange???

RJRabbit · 13/01/2010 13:47

Hmm. Perhaps a chocolate exchange should be set up? I bags the orange and strawberry ones, and can offer in return: everything else in the tin

gtamom · 13/01/2010 13:49

I love the creams, my favorites.

BonjourIvressedeNoel · 13/01/2010 13:52

We need to organise a quality street swapping service. The coconut onesa and the fruit creams are the ones that are left in our house - the toffees go first.

Pikelit · 13/01/2010 13:53

Where have the coffee creams gone though? Neither the Christmas tin of Quality Street nor my box of Black Magic contained any.
