fucking hate them after light mint chocolates. can’t stand them
Same here in Australia, right down to the brands. They’re sitting on supermarket shelves for less than the Lindt 3 inches away, but it still feels *premium* because they’re shaped all fancy like (and mum said so 20 years ago).
Growing up is realising you can just buy yourself a box of seashell chocolates, they aren’t required to be a gift for someone else
The chocolate seahorses are posh, I won’t have it any other way.
Sara Lee Gateaux always looked really posh when I was a kid
Honestly, Ferrero Rocher are shite. Took me way too long to realise this growing up.
is it just me or does anyone else think posh chocolate is wank? idc about your nougat or your artisan chocolate made by a man in a hat just give me a wispa
Ferreo are very expensive now
I mean Ferrero Rocher are kind of like the Volkswagen of chocolates – class agnostic – you could just as easily picture them being eaten in a council house as you could a swish reception event
It’s all flipped around these days – Tony’s Chocolate is expensive (and very good with it) but branded like a treat for toddlers.
I hate seashells they are sickly sweet. Back in the day you thought you were so fancy if you had a box of ‘Black Magic’ chocolates. Oh posh was my neighbours who served your dinner in tureens and not just on your plate. Terrifying
Haha have you tried a Viennetta recently? They’re terrible! its ice-something, but its certainly not ice-cream!
Why is Toblerone not on this list?
Vienetta was always wank anyway, the ice cream tastes of nothing.
Like when you get Cadburys flake ice cream or creme egg, they use the cheapest possible cold white mass and think the chocolates going to hide it, while charging you the same as a tub of Ben and Jerry’s fuck off
I thought Vienetta was posh until we got one from KFC alongside the family bucket
Oooo Vienetta. Ice cream & chocolate lasagna.
Those seashell things are nice though eh. I remember when Thorntons (is that still going?) first opened in my part of town in the late 80s – it was a game changer. Same as when M&S started doing ‘Chinese chicken’ sandwiches.
As a kid it was kettle chips that were the posh christmas snack. Then they started being everywhere.
After Eights are the zenith of dinner mints. They’re individually packaged!
Twiglets. They only came out for parties. They tasted like actual twigs.
These are all the same for an Australian born in the 70’s…
Strange, but Vienneta is falling out of this list for me as it was a typical “family ice cream” we ate regularly.
Not in GB tho
Me and my siblings viewed mint flavour matchmakers as posh food
Also turkey dinosaurs and lucky charms.
Pop tarts.
That shit was expensive.
Either it’s just not as good as I remembered, or the quality has gone downhill since, but Vienetta doesn’t feel special any more. We bought one a couple of years ago for old time’s sake, and both thought it was a bit “meh”.
Elizabeth Shaw Mint Crisp chocolates pissed all over After Eights, which remind me a little too much of toothpaste.
