Hi folks anyone bought a tin of Cadbury Heroes recently! out go some real favourites such as cadbury fruit and nut and in come Bournville and a real baffler - chocolate eclairs! (just dont belong in the cadbury heroes range as far as im concerned!) come on cadbury get your act together!

Mars Celebrations changed theres last xmas changing the shapes of many of there range which angered me also, such as the malteser changing from being oval in the celebration range to just half of the oval. Awe well that me rant over had to get it off me chest! raging, anyone else?

I hate these selection boxes, I only ever like one or two. Quality street are anything but, if you ask me.

Don't like chocolate eclairs. Very dangerous where fillings are concerned! Come to think of it don't like dark chocolate either so the Bournville is not going to be welcome

Last year Quality St. did a specialised tin with no toffees it was a bit smaller than the normal one, that was really nice!

And the topics have gone from Heroes!
Cadbury's Dream has gone too?
There's so many nice selections that have been ruined now because they nice chocolates have been taken out. I remember I used to really like dairy box but now they've changed it all and it isn't like it used to be...

Don't Cadbury's manufacture in Poland these days... one great decision after another. :sleep: They should stick to making films about monkey drummers and give up on the chocolate, I went off them big time after the salmonella outbreak

The toffees (pennies and sticks) are the only two I like from Quality Street, which suits me, 'cause no one else seems to like them!

do u think that when the manufacturing get moved to other factories they get superseded and some other quality manager comes in and makes drawing for a new batch to be manufactured hence the omission of dream,fruit and nut and then topic when it comes to the mars range and the different manufacturing of the malteser

The toffee pennies are the only good think about QS. The chocolate on the rest of the sweets is disgusting

Eclairs are a showstopper. Us oldies have fillings from before anyone knew any better.

I'd call 'em more of a jawstopper. You know the moment you're merrily chewing away, then, suddenly something very hard is felt amongst the toffee (i.e. tooth or filling). Well it makes my jaw stop whilst I feel around with my tongue for the missing bit of molar!

I love Bourneville, so helloooooooo!

But Eclairs? Aren't Heroes supposed to be mini versions of big chocolate bars? If so, get them out!
