Can only buy 2 of

- Cadbury's Heroes
- Celebrations
- Roses
- Quality Street

I'm leaning towards the Heroes and Celebrations, but I'm in real trouble here. Can't have more than 2 though, the amazon delivery is bonkers. Don't know what to do.

Cheers everyone. Vote quickly though, going to pull the trigger tonight.

street & roses. traditional wins every time.

A tub of Cadbury's Heroes should see you right!

I think it really depends what you're going to do with them.

I don't see why this can't go in General Bullshit.

celebrations and heroes absolutely wank over the old school stuff

maett

Fuck Cadbury's to hell the bastards.

Heroes & Celebrations for me, as the others contain stupid strawberry and orange chocs, although I'm very partial to the QS green triangles

Ferris

Went Heroes and Celebrations, cheers.

Lock thread, we are done here.

Mix them up in the same tin, like some horrifying interspecies orgy.


Shit Good Nose

Should've gone with the Lidl/Aldi equivs - Champions, Partytimes, Excellent Avenue and Geraniums.

Heroes and Roses. Why is Quality Street even on the list? Subpar Cul-de-sac, more like.

Chocolate in Canada is shit!

Shipping the from the UK, I got a guy (his name is amazon). The cost of postage is mental, which is why I've stopped at 2 tins.

Celebrations have the malteasers ones, Heroes have the caramel ones. Roses are for wankers with ideas above their station, and Quality Street are shite. Imagine them, all rustly packaging and disappointing toffee coins. Useless.

I won't do the Aldi knockoffs because a) I don't live in the UK, and b) I'm not a complete fucking animal.

Cheers!

The start of a decent Lovely Eggs song there, I reckon.

Chocolate in the entirety of North America is shit.  Even the expensive artisan stuff I had over there was about as good as decent cooking chocolate over here.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - no one outside of Western Europe and South America knows what to do with chocolate.


Having said that, I'm unashamedly VERY partial to Hershey's Cookies & Cream bars, and Reeses products.

If that's not serious troubles, I don't want to know what is.

Celebrations delivered today. Holding off on opening them until 12/25 out of sheer Xmas loyalty.

Ferris

Lads.

Listen.

Listen, lads.

It's gone wrong.

Mrs Ferris' parents came over, and in a clamour of uncharacteristic UK patriotism I opened both tins to show Canadians (like me) how British people (like me) make chocolate. It was carnage.

I've ordered a tin of Roses to make up the shortfall, but it is touch and go whether they will arrive in time - I think they got the last christmas chopper out of Saigon the Cadbury's factory.

I have about 50% of each tin left, though Mrs Ferris ate all the malteaser ones from the Celebrations.

In this time of strife and hour of my greatest need, in this holiday season, please: keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

All the best.

Ferris.

can't you get them smashed on Marechal Foch so they crave a bit of savoury instead?

Fuck your chocolates, tube of twiglets and mini cheddars.
