Cadbury's Roses...

[bitchstewie]

Got given a pack - what the fk have they done with them?

[Ransoman]

Every year they get even more disapointing. Blame Modelez. The same company behind the Toblerone fiasco.

[funkyrobot]

Indeed. No more Cadbury's products for me. They are slowly being wrecked. Taste is off (more bitter like American chocolate) and the pack sizes keep shrinking.

How on earth they get away with their Easter egg packaging is beyond me.

[Shakermaker]

Yeah, I've been disappointed ever since they stopped the Peanut Crunch one years ago.

[Steamer]

I thought the same about Heros too.

[PurpleMoonlight]

I bought a tub for the office.

The packaging on each item is huge so as to make it look like there is much more in there than there really is.

Agree, the chocolate isn't what it was and neither are the centers. Couldn't taste any nuts in the brasil nut toffee!

Never been a fan of Caburys chocolate. I dont like the texture of it. Much prefer galaxy *runs for cover*

They seem to have missed the whole point of Roses which is unwrapping the foil.

This is 100% NOT the point of Roses for me.

I'm yet to find a sock in a box of roses.

[chrisga]

Wondered what the fuss was about. Just opened the box left in the office by a supplier and concur. What have they done? Won't bother buying them again.

Secondary point maybe?

Nestles are up to their usual tricks with Quality Street too!

Whenever Cadbury's post an ad or promotion on facebook, read the comments. An unrelenting list of complaints about the taste, the size, the packaging, factory closure, Fairtrade, Halal, Easter labeling etc. etc. It's a PR disaster, and Kraft/Mondelez only have themselves to blame for ruining this great British brand.

Not seen that one before & therefore not a rose tinted memory of my childhood where the Christmas tin of Quality Street would seem to last an eternity until you ended up with just a load of toffee pennies left Barst*rds.

You can still buy a large tin though. The main difference is that they won't be the ones in big stacks at the end of the aisle in the supermarket with the "2 for £8" offer or similar on them, they will be elsewhere.

Several people are sitting on a beach in the Caribbean being served $75 cocktails from the deal, so it's not all bad.

They had 4.5kg Toblerones in Iceland a few days back for £50, went home to check if the price was competitive (it was), but all sold on return - would have kept it as an ornament/talking point rather than ate it though!
