Why has Nestle Changed Black Magic?
These used to be a fantastic collection of chocolates, now reduced to a few humble truffles.
Is this a focus-group initiative? If so, where did they conduct it. Obviously a place where everyone has weak teeth. Time to storm Westminster and demand the old-style Black Magic selection box is re-instated!! |

I agree with you - they used to be fab - now they're all the same
![]() they're all square shaped with a groove cut at various places on the top and they all taste the same, don't care what truffley nonsense each one is called - they're all the same

All chocolate boxes these days are infested with these hideous, tasteless, truffley crud.
I used to love Black Magic, Milk Tray and Dairy Box - now they're all cloned truffles with a ghastly texture and no taste whatsoever - whatever the flavour's supposed to be. Best chocs ever (IMO) were 'Weekend' chocolates and candies, they were yummy and have now disappeared forever. I bought Milk Tray at Christmas, they were awful. I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice. |

Belgium chocolates are the best these days for variety and quality - what a shame you have to go to Belgium to get them!

Fruit gums and pastilles are rubbish now too.
I used to love the boxes of fruit gums in all the fruity shapes as a kid. Now they're much softer and all taste the same. Dire. |

Time to storm Westminster and demand the old-style Black Magic selection box is re-instated!! I'm a newcomer to the Digital Spy forum and wanted to join in on the Nestle Black Magic discussion...... This is a perfect example of a company (Nestle) thinking they can do no wrong and that the buying public will follow them wherever they lead, no questions asked. Well here's a BIG question: WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU CHANGE / RUIN A BOX OF CHOCOLATES THAT IS A TOP-SELLING, UNDISPUTED BRITISH CLASSIC? I felt so strongly about it that I started a petition (see below). Please join, in the hope of making Nestle see sense! http://www.petition.co.uk/bring_back...gic_chocolates

Blimey, that just took me right back! IIRC there used to be a bright green candy one.
