Dont know whats happened to Cadbury Roses, but the taste is not as good as it was and it seems that half of the chocolates are now missing....

Wont be buying them again

Oh I find them to be as nice as ever, especially the fudges, love those.

Quality Street are nicer.

Kraft Outrage!

I love the malteser celebration ones yummy

It's those nasty Americans, we should grab back all the companies they own.

And give them back Greyhound Buses, Coach USA, Pacific Corp, all the banks RBS own etc.etc.etc.

i think most chocolat bars have gone down the pan, unless its just my taste buds evolving?

How exactly have they changed? They still taste the same to me...

Yep, same with quality street, the choice's have changed in both QS and Roses over the years and TBH not worth buying anymore.

The taste is fine, it's the range that's the problem.

I had a tin of Roses at christmas and I agree that they have changed and are not as nice. They have too many caramel ones and not much of a variety at all

I'm a complete fan of Roses and enjoy the changes in selection over the years. Things change.

I miss butterscotch.

agreed. I sometimes get given them as gifts - which I then give away to someone else

Even my fave orange cream has been revamped to something less tasty.

I got a tin as a present at Christmas.First time i'd had them for years.They've definitely gone downhill.The chocolate tastes worse and the new selection is mushy crap.Even the caramel is too soft.I thought they were maybe past their best before date,but they weren't.
I certainly wouldn't buy them over Quality Street.

In general I prefer Quality Street to Roses but Roses have my favourite the Brazilian Darkness.

There must be a reason why there discontinued them surely? I liked the Orange crisp

Quality Street - Too many toffees

Yes and it was always those penny toffees that were the last to consume.

Indeed.Fascinating but useless fact:Quality Street were Saddam Husseins fav chocs.Furthermore,his favourite from the selection was the toffee penny.
You might get that question in Trivial Pursuit sometime.

Nothing more annoying than going to the tin on the 29th December and finding only a dozen of those bloody things left

Or a pub quiz..

Thanks for the useless info.

Says it all

Noooo not the orange crisps

He liked the military uniform guy on the outside of the tin(the drummer?).
Couldn't beat a nice toffee penny when you were putting someone(feet first) through the plastic shredder.

Montelimar Noooooooo, but Orange Crisp...YAY!
