Hi there, this is my first post!

Does anyone remember 'Weekend'? They were a box of chocolates and candies and I can't think who actually made them, was it Terry's or Rountrees Mackintosh? Or am I wrong on both of those?

If anyone can help and if anyone knows where I can maybe seek out a place that still sells that particular box of chocolates, then please let me know! My big brother seems to think that you can still get them but are very hard to find.

I used to buy them for my Mum every mothers day, and that was over 15 odd years ago!

Cheers guys

AJ

Hi! Welcome!

You are not the only Weekend fan on the Forum! Some time ago i posted a picture of them in the "general" thread. If you scroll back to archive threads it night still be there.

You cannot buy Weekend anymore. I think they were originally made by Mackintoshes, which became Rowntrees, which became Nestle. Nestle decided to dump some of the most popular lines and cover the rest in cheap, nasty chocolate so I am afraid you won't see a box on sale.

Keep posting!

I've just located the picture. Go to "search" at the top of the page and type in "for lou lou". The correct thread should pop up ready for you to open. There you will find a picture of the chocs.

Good Luck

Thanks for all your help guys, much appreciated!

It's a shame you can't get weekend anymore, but I'll be sure to have a look at the picture.

No Bounty Hunter, I'm not Chocolate Chicks little sister, It was just a very quick name I thought up when I signed up to the forum

Thanks again guys, and I look forward to chatting with you all about other choccy goodness.

Oh man!

Thanks for posting the pic oldspice, I don't think I remember those boxes. The one I do remember was like a creamy-white (bit like Dairy Box colour) with flowers in the corner. Ahhhh. They just dont make them like they used to huh?

I miss weekend, 'Bring Em Back!!'

If you took a immaculately preserved box of these to the Antiques roadshow I am sure they would tell you that you could get something for the Weekend.

Did you think about that or just burble it out?

Something for the weekend Sir?
