Those tubs

[Gemini]

I think someone mentioned this on Chatbox, but those tubs of Roses, Quality St and the like are in Tesco at £5

My mum gives several of these at Christmas, but I wait to get them for her as they go down to £4 each for a while.

Yes,Gem, it was either Nana or Mimi that mentioned them.
If we go into a Tesco,i will get some.
Might check to see if Morrisons have them, seeing as they have offered me free delivery on my next online shop.

Wouldn't last in hear B would get through them like a lawn mower and we would have to keep renewing them 😂😂😂

I live with Willie Wonker the sweet tooth bloke

I know it sounds as though I'm being a sour puss about that event in December (I'm not really, it's just that for me it's too soon to start thinking about it in August!), but both OH and I have become steadily more and more disappointed with both Roses and Quality Street. The taste of the chocolate itself is chemical-ally, the centres don't have much taste of anything, and even whole nuts seem dry and stale. OK, I know I haven't got a particularly sweet tooth, but I used to enjoy a few out of each variety, but if it was left to me I wouldn't get any at all - OH still has Quality Street.

Oh, and what happened to the tin? It used to be useful for all sorts of things from packets of seeds to buttons!

DD2 , when she was pregnant with GS2 told me that on some forum, perhaps Mumsnet, they were saying that the plastic tubs of chocolates were perfect to keep a placenta in before cooking it. For those who are into that sort of thing 🤢

Blimey! I've 'liked' your post, Gem, but I'm not sure 'like' is the most appropriate word!

[Mimi]

It was me who mentioned the chocolates , I won’t be buying them any time soon as I know for certain they will get eaten and I will have to buy more . OH seems to think that each year the tubs gets smaller. Remember how big they were when they came in metal tins and not the plastic tubs we have now.

[Gemini]

I think they were at least twice as big Mimi.
I only buy them on behalf of my mum, who as she has a steady supply of multi pack Mars Bars all year round, is less likely to eat them and have to replace

[Nanto2girls]

If i buy some,it will be me that does most of the nibbling.

[WeeGranny]

Something I've never been tempted to buy....says she running for cover! Makes you wonder as well what preservatives etc are in them if they're still edible by C********!

[Qwerty]

I’m still not getting involved with tubs of sweets 😬

[Qwerty]

Placenta I never want to see one of those again 🤢🤮

[WeeGranny]

Placenta I never want to see one of those again 🤢🤮

and the thought of taking it home and eating it.......yuck and yuck again!!

I remember Hugh Fearnely Whittingstall cooking one for someone's dinner party years ago. <shudders dramatically>
