When did Roses get a Upgrade?

[Mason-]

Roses purple > all.

And the guy who likes the strawberry and orange is a freak. They're the worst.

Your family takes chocolates more seriously than mine!

It's just me, I am a tight git! But it isn't unwarranted and not far off the mark!

To be honest I hate roses and quality street, more of a celebrations or ferrero rocher kind of guy .

The last time I had some roses, it seems they just contain several cleverly named sweets that all seem to translate as "some form of caramel covered with chocolate". They are all the bloody same, no orange one anymore Think they kept the strawberry though.

Heroes are where it is at!!

After reading OP these were the exact words in my head, spooky. Manager at work got 5 tins of the stuff, lucky git!

Not interested since both Quality Street and Roses got rid of the coffee cream.

You're joking? They were my favourite ones.

Lol.

Also, strawberry creme = ultimate nom. And no one seems to like this one so more for me.

Downgrade IMO, massively

This.

Is the green triangle still there in quality street?

I'm always gutted when somebody passes me a tin of Roses instead of a tin of Quality street.

Roses - Fail

Quality street, the clue is in the name tbh.

A big fat LoL from me.

Quality Street, for those that like to pretend a (now slightly less) tacky tin and nasty crunchy sweets makes for a 'quality' expierience. The proof of which is better is when there are hundreds of unsold tins of QS in your local supermarket after Xmas.

Not that the whole Roses/Quality Street thing gets me annoyed. Though Roses aren't as good as they used to be... Definite scrimping going on.

I remember the old caramel toffee type ones they used to do in roses, like a dime slightly but not quite, cant remember the name of them, they haven't done them for years now though they was by far my favorites.

 

[Broken Hope]

Roses got ruined once they changed the Strawberry creams, they were awesome when they were still wrapped in the blue foil.

 

[gigeorge]

Its all about the Leonidas.

 

[Mr-White]

Roses and Quality Street are horrible and cheap, give them to the kids.

[MeEsH BaKkA]

Celebrations are my choice, The Malteser ones are bloody lovely.

You sir, are correct!

Agreed. I miss the old style Roses that had coffee cream (only my mum and I liked them so there was plenty for us ) the mini bar of dairy milk and bourneville, the caramel barrel and I'm sure there were a few others that were taken out. Nowadays it seems to have about 4/5 slight variations on caramel :/

We tend to stick to Heroes or Celebrations now. (Though currently I can't eat chocolate )

 

[JCBeastie]

Ergh Roses and Quality Street just seem to be all toffee, caramel and orange to me these days. Seriously thought what's with all the orange? It's hideous.

Bring back coffee creams! >.<
