Whitestar Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 There was a time when opening a tin of Quality Street near Christmas was a real treat, it even smelt of Christmas and all the brightly coloured chocolates & toffees looked like Christmas. Now, all dull and cheap looking plastic wrappers doesn't even smell Christmassy, bahhh, I'm out.😡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said I didn't know so many had existed. New ones on me for sure. Certainly would like coffee creams back- could dispense with one of the orange flavours, don't need two.

Whitestar Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 In the 70s a box of chocolates was quite a luxury item, good quality classy looking box , well packaged and not cheap. Now you go in Poundland and they said do you want a box of all gold for a quid , and you say nah your all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted December 10, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2023 If you still want it to be luxury, buy Hotel Chocolat, or only buy them occasionally! Quite good now that chocolate is readily available. Chocolate Orange- forgot about those. Dark or milk, they're fab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadbury chocolate fingers, Bahlsen Leibniz and a box of M&S chocolate biscuits are a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
