Why would he even mention that!…..

They are not the same since they changed the wrapping - bring back the old wrapping I say.

If my DH had come out with a comment like that, he would have discovered very quickly that I did not find it either encouraging or amusing, but then he doesn't always see things as I do! Sadly, I am now lactose intolerant, so no Celebrations for me , not even if I consider myself to be a Hero ! However..... the National Trust property a few miles away sells a vegan chocolate cookie to die for... I think I feel a visit is essential in the very near future !!

I can't pre buy anything before the date it's for otherwise I eat it and have to buy another lot !

I can easily resist any of the Cadbury's products, the chocolate has a horrid aftertaste, same as Quality Street.
But show me a packet of Tangfastics! I really can't resist those.

Fruit & Nut - one of the 5 a day.

I ask my DH to hide all chocolate, biscuits etc away. if I want some I tell him and he gets some out for me. Eg I say please get me two biscuits/three chocolates or whatever and he fetches then.
I find this means I can have some if I really want to but it keeps me from nibbling until they're all gone... which can definitely happen.

The chocolate cravings bypassed me! I have no desire for chocolate at all and am not tempted by it in the shops. I buy it for DH, who LOVES it. I don’t know anyone else who feels like this. There might be a genetic link? My parents didn’t buy it either🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m a chocoholic too. Aldi’s hazelnut milk choc bars. I tell myself they are good for me because they contain whole hazlenuts.Who am I trying to kid ?

I too am useless at keeping chocolate for any period. They sing my name, constantly calling and teasing me. It's most unfair.
Heroes, celebrations and roses galore can be consumed in eye-watering quantities. But, then instead of eating a proper meal, I don't, to win back a few calories and fat grams.
So, so naughty. I'm helpless.

I don't buy them as I have no self control.
I've heard that they're taking the Bounty out of the Celebrations .... sacrilege!!

Oh the shame! Katykrunch. Guilty secret: My Mum always bought BIG tins of QStreet and the other ones. Put them in the bottom of her wardrobe hidden amongst long coats and stuff. The tins were firmly and intricately sellotaped shut but we’re “calling my name” I was not deterred and carefully slit the sellotape and taped it back up after selecting a my favourites. I was about 10 or 11.
The proper tins were deeper and nicer then and came in useful.
AussieGran59 yes all individual choccy bars have shrunk and Mars Bars are now nothing more than Milky Ways in a different wrapper. Trust me I am something of an expert.
This “shrinkage” is supposed to be for our own good, nothing to do with …erm profit then 🫤

Yes too tempting.
My weakness, Jaffa Cakes. Don’t buy them now as eat the whole packet in one go.

Seems I am the odd one out here! I still have an almost full tin of Celebrations chocolates which I bought for Christmas last year - bought because my sister in law loves them but has been on a diet for the last year. (However, I would fight you for a packet of crisps!)

I just stopped buying them. Self inflicted temptation is something I can really live without.

Oh so true.

Better not in the house.

Oh the temptation to pop in the car round to the little Sainsbugs full of goodies...superb selection snacks and chocs and biscuits..mmm let me see now that's closed but there is the 24/7 hour garage....

I could resist AS and Ro ses but not Ferraro Rocher or Hotel Chocolat so I won't be buying those until Xmas week

Save me a green triangle, please, katykrunch. I don’t dare buy the tins any more. I don’t trust myself.
There’s a similar thread about a missing Smarties tube.

One year I also secretly ate a whole tub of Roses Chocolates in the run up to Christmas. Did I feel guilty? NO I enjoyed every one.

I used to eat all the chocolate sweets not given out at Halloween until one-year one pulled out a huge filling that ended up as a crowned tooth.
Now I buy the softer ones. They still disappear.
I am actually worse with Pringles I buy them for the GC and only half come out of the cupboard and the others disappear somewhere.

Oh I do like Roses. I managed to walk past the tins and boxes in Tesco yesterday but can't guarantee to maintain self control.

Can’t have tins of sweets in the house, they call to me. Often I could cope and wouldn’t touch then but all it takes one bad row or family upset and I’m there stuffing my face. I’ve also had to go and buy a new tin so no one realises what I’d done. Nowadays, not allowed over the threshold. Know your enemy.

I bought some fudge, to eat at home after our short break away.

I lasted until we were on the coach home, then just had to have a taste. Where did it all go? 🤔

I think the quality of Quality Street has deteriorated over the years, they no longer seem to use good chocolate . I don't buy them any more prefer a small amount of dark chocolate.

I bought four tins of them on offer at Tesco but I will not open them. I don't want to go the dentist.
