New Black Magic Selection
« on: November 08, 2007, 09:53:28 pm »
Today I bought two boxes of Black Magic as they were on special offer at Asda and I was feeling really greedy. I was just about to tuck into the first one when I discovered, much to my horror, that the selection had changed. What a disappointment. My favourite fruit soft centres, caramels, nut clusters, coffee creams etc, have been replaced by stodgy truffles and pralines. Hopefully this is a 'special edition' and not a 'new' Black Magic. In my opinion, truffles and praline chocolates are so old hat and boring. Please Nestle, bring back the fruit soft centres! I wonder does anyone else here share my opinion?

It really winds me up with chocolate box contents change with absolutely no warning to the consumer.  I would be incandescent if this happend to me. I love fruit creams and hate pralines.

 

I still haven't got over buying a large tin of Quality Street a few years back and finding a large part of the weight was made up with mini Yorkie bars with no indication on the tin. Yorkie bars are extremely vile. 

 

Black Magic used to be a lovely selection until Nestle got their hands on them. The contents have changed several times since.  I remember as a small child my mum saving the cherry ones for me. They were half a cherry with a liquid and fondant surround. My mum liked the hard centres and I liked the soft centres so it was a very democratic sharing!

Goldencup, please forget my previous post, I didn't read your reply properly. Sorry about that! Been overdosing on too many Wispa bars :-)

No problem - I just knew that Oldspice would be in total agreement with you!
