I don't get them any more though, they've lost their appeal imo

Quality Street (huge disappointment last time I got them, they almost ruined Christmas!).
And I like toffees too so Quality Street are quite good.
Not sure what comes in Heroes or Celebrations but the one with Mars, Milky Way, Bounty etc are the worst.
I wish that Quality Street still tasted like I remembered them I used to love the huge tin with the delicious smell of Christmas as the lid was taken off.
A few years ago, Netto were doing 1KG metal tins for £3. This year I see 750g plastic boxes for £5. But even when they were still metal, they shrank to 950g, then 900g, then 850g, etc.
I no longer see the point in buying big cumbersome boxes of gooey sugar over the big cardboard boxes, let alone better chocolates.

Roses - we never buy these ever.

Quality Street/Roses - can't decide but far inferior to the others.
They were like crack and even then there were only about 3 in each box, the stingy gits.
And then I found out make sure the 'favourites' have the smallest amount so that people are more inclined to buy another box.
I did get lucky once and buy a box from Family Bargains that was going cheap as it was nearly out of date and had the incorrect weight inside (I presume this is why it was in Family Bargains) and it was filled with just Malteasers, Galaxy and the Truffle which were my 3 favourites from that selection. That was a good day.
I swear with the Heroes and Celebrations they never quite have the perfect selection on purpose.
Not much bothered about the others.
Roses definitely had a coffee cream last year, I'm hoping it's still there this year but it seems to be fashionable to get rid
Celebrations and Heroes I can take or leave. Are celebrations Mars, Twix etc? I tend to have about five or six at a time to pretend I'm half way to a proper 'bar'
Quality Street has always been anathema to me, more like 'Council Estate'!
I used to love the coffee creams, hard to find & expensive, but Poundland are doing boxes of coffee creams. We bought 2 boxes for Christmas, a week later I had to go back and buy another 2 boxes

This.
Yes but they were the equivalent of £20 today. So if you buy 4 of them at £5 each you'll have the same amount.
