"Meh"

[kernow]

Whenever I eat Revels I always end up thinking "I wish I had just bought some Minstrels instead".

I was just talking about this yesterday with someone who complained about a strawberry revel, I told them revels sucked anyway and that minstrels >

how odd.

[Ady]

Strawberry Revels? Urgh!

That said, I'm not really a big chocolate fan at the best of times, but chocolate mixed with anything else (orange, strawberry, mint) is ****ing vile.

I really can't understand how people can like chocolate orange in particular. It's disgusting!

[funkydan]

I on the other f*cking love orange flavoured chocolate, the finest being Orange Revels, Orange Smarties, Fry's Orange Cream and the best of the best: Orange Matchmakers. It's delicious (Ady = miserable bah humbugging git )

[toythatkills]

I didn't even realise they were the mystery sweet at first, I thought they were there all along. I'm sure they used to be!

And yeah, add me to the orange chocolate loving camp. Nom

[Kieran76]

I am funny, in that I hate soft centre chocolates filled with fruit flavours but love a Terrys Chocolate Orange at Christmas. If I don't get one I sulk all morning.

Why do I always get ill when I take time off work?

I'm not a big fan of orange flavoured chocolate either, or any fruit fondants, or those soft sweets you get in choccy boxes, always go for the nuts, praline, toffees etc.

mm, I need a big tin of quality street right about now.

edit: or roses, I'm not that fussy

Can't you get the hours back? I had a weeks holiday once and was almost dying the whole time. Told them and they gave me the hours back and put it down as sick time instead!!

On the subject of chocolate oranges, has anyone ever been able to make them do that fanning thing they do on the advert? I try every time, but always end up having to prise bits off of it instead.

[Kieran76]

The base is far too thick for that. I should sue the company as the advert makes it seem that only a small tap will open them. As a young child I smashed myself on the head with the orange and nearly killed myself.

Sorry, but that's f*cking hilarious

Of course it wouldn't have been if you'd actually died, but you didn't...ok

Yeah, it used to be "tap it to unwrap it" or something, but that clearly was never going to work. Their new slogan is "whack it, don't tap it" but even that makes no difference! In a few years it'll be "don't tap it, don't whack it, just use a pneumatic drill."

Just once, I want to be able to marvel at it!

[cutmymilk]

I used to stab it. With a knife.
