Revels roulette
« on: July 25, 2005, 10:53:42 am »

Has anyone seen this ad? It's a spoof of the scene from the Deer Hunter. The loser collapses on the floor because he gets a coffee one.


It's a great ad, but it does raise a question - if even the manufacturers know everyone hates the coffee one, why do they still make it?  Bring back peanut!

I have seen this advert and thought the same thing. I would like the raisin one removed too as it doesn't fit in . Swap the coffee one for a big nut, the malteser for a coconut one and the raisin for nougat or marzipan.

I like the coffee one but could do without the malteser and the raisin ones. I would love a marizpan one.

I know, get rid of all of them and leave only the flat one. Then re-name them Counters!


I think Revels have had their day. The current mix is so bizarre, nobody likes nearly all of the centres. They should do TWO types - hard centres (peanut, toffee, biscuit etc) and soft centres (coconut, raisin, turkish delight and various creams).

Old but spicey!

I think you're wrong, people will still buy them despite not liking all the flavours - can just pass them on to someone else.



The ones I don't like are: coffee, Malteser and toffee. The Malteser
because it doesn't fit in, toffee cos it's like eating a rock and
coffee...is self explanatory.

I like all revels except the coffee one. I wouldn't miss the raisin and it's nowhere near my favourite but I will eat it.

I agree they could expand their centres. I mentioned on a previous post
about having an 'exotic' bag with different centres in. I think there
is a market for it.
