Celebration chocs - filled with the 'rubbish' sweets!!

misses bought me a celebrations 854g tin as ive been good, lol.

upon opening them i was annoyed to find it filled with the 'low value' chocs!

for the stats amoung us they were:

18 Milky ways
17 Mars
17 Bounty
16 Snickers
12 Malteasers
6 Galaxy caramals
6 Galaxy
5 Twix

now thats hardly a 'fair' mix!

inbetween arguing how sad it is to

a) count them
b) moan about them
c) what people think are the 'best ones'

im going to have to eat all the 'best ones' (galaxy obviously), and face the music when she wants some!

  • Do they not have Galaxy truffles anymore? They were my faves next to the malteasers ones?

    I was about to say what happened to the truffles?!

    I don't like it when they fill the tub with bounty and snickers... my least favourite, and the bountys always get thrown away because nobody else I know likes them either! :(
  • Would have said truufles but as they are absent its looking like a draw between mars and snickers now

    I would have been happy with that mix, I hate Twix, yuck!

    My sister used to count her sweets and mark the number of them on the lid. Every time she ate one she would change the number on the lid. Meant nobody could steal one! :rotfl:

    Even now she still counts the sweets. If her and her boyfriend were given a box, she would count each flavour and separate them, then split them equally between her and the bf. think it started as a bit of a joke, but they do it every time now :rotfl:
    Can't think of anything smart to put here...

    I love the bounties!

    And I think truffles got retired when the twixes became a full-time celebration, which sucks because the little twixes are awful.

    That's rubbish - not keen on Milky Ways or Bounty! Where are all the Galaxies!?

    Heroes are rubbish now, too. The tin is half-filled with eclairs.

    I must be awkward, my favourites are Bounty, Snickers and Eclairs but I always seem to get more of the ones I don't like.
    Maybe there is a secret supernatural force that tries to stop me getting fatter by not giving me the ones I like best!

    I've never had a celebrations tin/box jar with eclairs in.

    can't think why;):
