Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: loulou on February 20, 2005, 08:27:57 pm
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this before but I just had my first one. It's the toffee finger from Quality Street but bigger. I think it was 29p. Anyway I really enjoyed it.

Me too Lou, I think they are lush! I always eat those ones first out of the time of quality street...but being able to buy them in a big finger is fab

Jokes aside, I seriously do think it's too hard. When I used to eat
Quality Street I avoided them as they tend to want to pull your teeth
out.



Love the Big Purple One though

I avoid the purple one, even if they are all left at the end I would rather not eat them.

Why don't they make giant strawberry, orange and coffee creams (separately, not in one choc!)?


Talking of toffee fingers -  Cadbury's giant caramel chocolate fingers are nice

Post by: kevvosa on February 22, 2005, 10:41:48 am
Ooooh are they nice and sticky 
Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER

Make giant strawberry creams!!!!!!!!!
Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: chocolate chick on February 22, 2005, 12:01:32 pm

Perhaps they dont make them because too much of that strawberry creme filling might not be nice? I would love to see a giant coconut eclair!


I will have to try putting 2 in my mouth when I next get a box of Quality Street.

Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: goldencup on February 22, 2005, 12:02:09 pm
Instead of the usual six?
Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: salsa on February 22, 2005, 06:56:39 pm

i will too :)


eight are the order of the day.

I will try six....not sure it'll work though  


A strawberry/orange creme would be nice if it was double its size.


Has anyone else noticed that when you look into a tin of Quality Street the wrappers look nicer than Roses

I can remember after last christmas Asda were selling these off for about 15p each along, with the purple and green one and the chunky christmas pud one. As you can understand, I stocked up!

I think quality street rock compared to roses.
Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: kevvosa on February 23, 2005, 11:38:22 pm
Same here, Roses dont have that certain something that Quality Street has.



Has anyone tried Luxury Roses yet?


Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: roxy on February 24, 2005, 12:12:43 am
"Quality street rock" - I'm still trying to work what it actually sounds like. I'm not very hip.
Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: salsa on February 24, 2005, 06:41:07 am
rock means they are fabby. Im not with it, I just like to use words inappropriately.
Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: chocolate chick on February 24, 2005, 09:53:59 am

Roses are lacking that mmmm thing. I love all the Quality Street except the Purple One but my boyfriend loves that one. And they look more luxourious!


I have tried the Luxury Roses and they are nice. They aren't wrapped like Roses, just in a box like Dairy Milk etc. Nothing overly special and not really worth the £4.99

Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: smurfboy on February 24, 2005, 09:54:31 am

I'm shocked - I've always seen Quality Street as very much second best to Roses!


Luxury Roses are nice, but you don't get many for your money.

Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: chocolate chick on February 24, 2005, 10:05:29 am
Like Roses used to be but they are losing it a bit now. Too many truffley ones in there. I like soft centres.
Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: salsa on February 24, 2005, 06:50:00 pm

We had a talk from Mr Cadbury when I was at school, and he said the only reason Quality Street came in a bag inside the box was to stop the toffee penny going soft.


Strange but true fact.

Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: chocolate chick on February 25, 2005, 10:58:59 am

Interesting facts!

Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: salsa on February 25, 2005, 11:33:25 pm
I know, well worth two years in sixth form that fact was.
Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: roxy on February 26, 2005, 10:24:58 am

An eye opener, the promise of that knowledge.


Did you clap?

No, we ate a sh*t load of chocolate though.

Going back to the Toffee Fingers. Superdrug had they reduced to 15p!!
Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: kevvosa on February 28, 2005, 02:22:05 pm
Wow. They were 25p last time I saw them. Must be nearing sell by date.

They don't have maggots crawling through them yet do they?
Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: loulou on February 28, 2005, 08:26:07 pm
The shops just sell them cheap if they have too many in stock. My friend is manager at Morrisons and he says it is up to him each week what he puts on offer. that's why sometimes he has pepsi buy one get one free when the other morrison stores don't.
Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: kevvosa on February 28, 2005, 10:02:13 pm
I'd like that job. I'd but Dairy Milk on buy one get one free and Ben & Jerry's. 
Title: BIG TOFFEE FINGER
Post by: loulou on February 28, 2005, 10:12:51 pm
I'd put boxes of Dairy box buy one get one free and then buy them all up.

I saw a programme about Stilton cheese the other day and they said true Stilton fans only eat it when it's alive with maggots.

Post by: loulou on March 01, 2005, 11:27:13 pm
That's disgusting. I will never eat stilton again.

I found a real live maggot in my plum a few months ago. I haven't been able to eat a plum since.

My work colleague explained how the maggot got in there and that it had only eaten the plum but that didn't make it any better. When I got to the core it was sitting there looking at me.
