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 Wink

Minstrels strangely absent from the recall apparently.

Do you think if I bought cheap Malteasers from Home Bargains or similar I could flog them back to Mars at market rate?

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

Imagine doing my malteser challenge with rubbery maltesers. Wouldn't be good at all.

That's typical - I had my first bag of Revels in about 20 years this week after hearing that the peanuts had been removed. I'd forgotten about the coffee ones though.

BRING BACK THE PEANUT

I'd be happy if they replaced the coffee with peanut.

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."

I always think they sound aggressive when you walk in the Takeaway, they say, "WHA YOU WAN!?
