Not so quality street

going_nowhere_fast

Have cracked open my tub of Quality Street - so disappointed. A lonely triangle, three purple ones, a couple of each of the others and about 20 orange cremes. I dont like orange cremes!

I miss the days or rummaging for the choccy i want. In one evening ive eaten all the ones i like already.

Anyone fancy an orange creme? Plenty to go around.

You're joking me? Life is so unfair.

We had a box of Quality Street... 1 green triangle, 1 purple one, 2 toffee pennies... dreadful

Also the Milk Tray selection this year has the weirdest chocolate in it...

A milk chocolate shell containing an apple-flavoured white chocolate truffle with cinnamon flavoured crunchy bits.

Admittedly the only other one I didn't eat was the Strawberry Temptation so I probably did quite well. :rotfl:

We were just on about Cadburys Roses tins reducing in size and hubby found an old tin in the shed from 2003 (the BB date was 04/2004) and the weight of the tin was 1.8kg inc wraps.

Shocking!

Is it that shocking though? We as consumers demand the same for the same money, costs will not have stayed the same now compared to 12 years ago.

you can bet your life it it still had a price tag on it then it would have been a lot more expensive than the £4.00 you could get a tin of roses for this year

Must have been a fairly new tin? We found an old quality street tin and that was 2.5kg.

This is a yearly moan.

I think those large tins cost £9.99 each back then, sometimes discounted to £7.99.

Tesco was selling 729g tubs for £4 recently.

And I saw two tubs of Quality Street advertised for £6 a few days ago.

According to this inflation calculator:

£9.99 in 2003 is £14.52 in today's money;
£7.99 in 2003 is £11.61 in today's money;
£5 in 2003 is £7.27 in today's money.
