Got some this year and was saddened the iconic wrapping with the semi see through coloured plastic is gone.
This is the first year we have not bought quality street, hero’s or roses. Quality and package size has dropped drastically over last decade.
Really think this is just a diversionary tactic to mask the fact that there are only eight in a tin now.
Bet they bring back the original wrapping in an ad
campaign next year.
No, it’s Quality House of Multiple Occupation now.
Taste like shit nowadays as well. Why bother anymore?
How are kids meant to make stained glass windows at nursery with those wrappers?
Imo because they wrap the orange and strawberry cremes so badly (and when they had the old wrappers) means all the rest of the chocolates taste off because the aroma has infused it all.
In fact, I know this to be true because I got a tub without cremes one time and it all tasted delicious
“Quality” street
Did you also experience the smell of the strawberry slap you across the face as soon as you opened the tin?
I bought two tubs – didn’t even have any of those in your pic. I had more toffees than anything (both the long and round one.
I was going to get another as I opened the tubs earlier than usual. But I decided ‘No, that is the last time I will be buying you anymore’
No more cadburys, no more quality street – no more tubs.
No point in buying just a plastic tub with chocolcoate that is awful in taste. I am simply done with it and with them taking the utter piss out of us all!
The wrapping doesn’t bother me, but the fact that the pralines themselves are now so obviously an inferior product to what they once were is infuriating.
Bollocks Bulevard
They don’t get the sweets from Quality Street anymore they get them from the next street over. There’s now a market gap open there for any company that wants to fill it
They made the purple one.. round, what the actual fuck.
Won’t eat these any more. Protest with my wallet now.
why have a lot of british choccies gone to shit?? i’m genuinely sad about it. i know it’s the palm oil stuff they use now, but it’s truly inedible. Cadbury’s used to be amazing, can’t stand it now.
We didn’t bother with Quality Street this year, decided to get the Big Mix from M&S for a change of scenery (spoiler: it was actually FULL!).
Palm oil – Sad, because it’s one of the few (supermarket sold) chocolates without soya left.
Can’t find much without either/both soya and palm oil.
Enshitification is real
Not only are they really bad now, but they’re also Nestle so avoid them anyway.
The wrappers are cheap, the chocolate is nasty.
Gone downhill big time.
Boycott
Dog shit alley

I can only assume it’s so they can use the same moulds in the machines and it’s more efficient, probably saves £20 a year. Got to claw and scrape every penny at the expense of the products and workers. They can just ride the brand forever.
The m&s equivalent fucking smacks!
Yeh fuckin shit ruined my Christmas. Laid in bed. Watching the YouTube. Just want some lovely chocolate and made the interminable mistake of biting into a once loved sweet treat, which has now been replaced by the bitter, unmistakable taste, of late stage capitalism, corporate greed, and the inescapable decline of all things. Merry Christmas one and all, except Nestle. Fuck you Nestle.
Not even signing off cos I’m cross
Never buying these again
Had a long conversation today about how beautiful Quality street were in the early 90s – everything about getting a tin was gorgeous, the chocolate, the enormous quantity, the selection, those *gorgeous* wrappers. I wish someone was offering something similar. I wasn’t sure how they could get any shitter last year, but bloody hell, look at them, such a shame. I’d happily spend £25 on what they used to be.

I propose a new name for them: Mediocrity Road.

#Palm oil street
– nothing quality about them!

Needs more residential zoning.
I’ve given up on these and the rest of the tubs. They’re not special any more and VERY overpriced
Someone in here recommended the M&S version – it’s very good.
Enshitification Street
I was excited to find a box here in Canada.
Excitement lasted until the first chocolate.
Not only are they boring now, the chocolate is awful. Less Quality, more Street.
Would you like some chocolate with your palm oil?
Quality Street has been the worst of the selection boxes for at least 20 years now. Also fuck Nestlé.
Never too late to Fuck Nestlé
