Maltesers and Revels have been recalled (see the above BBC posting), because they might contain pieces of rubber - cue jokes about that being better than coffee revels
Minstrels strangely absent from the recall apparently.

Are you sure they haven't just got them confused as rubber can taste like coffee Revels.

What I don't get is, Revels has a brilliant ad campaign based around the fact that most people hate the coffee one. So if they know that, why keep it in???

Do you think this recall was started by accident after a Chinese customer telephoned mars to tell them their Revels and Maltesers are 'rubbery' (lovely)?
Good grief! Judging by the age of that joke I am surprised you didn't decribe them as Manchurians.
It also reminds me of the joke of the man who phones his local Chinese takeaway and is greeted by the person on the other end of the line saying, "I am Foo king". He replies, "Oh, I'm sorry! I'll call back later."
