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.

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.

* Caramel Keg - Half-Barrel shaped, gold wrapper.
* Hazel in Caramel - Purple wrapper
* Hazel Whirl - Purple wrapper with orange twists.
* Strawberry Dream - Pink foil wrapped.
* Tangy Orange Creme - Square shaped, wrapped in orange foil.

Discontinued varieties

* Praline Moment - Silver foil wrapped.
* Chunky Truffle - Shaped like a chocolate brick, wrapped in blue foil.
* Bournville - Small bar of Bournville Dark Chocolate.
* Almond Charm - Blue foil-wrapped milk chocolate, with almond nut pieces.
* Coffee Creme - Coffee flavoured, fondant cream soft centre, covered in dark chocolate.

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

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.

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

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.
