Back in the day, when Quality Streets came in huge metal tins, that weighed more than a kilogram .......... :wink:

It's shocking the decline in standards from the Quality Street of yesteryear, shrinkflation has really taken it's toll, the plastic tub is smaller as are the chocolates inside plus the quality has been reduced as well. I recently bought the 2 for £7 tubs of QS and Roses and even at £3.50 a tub I won't ever be buying either again as the decline in standards really is unacceptable.

Hmmm 53p/100g.
So the Tesco £4 780g tub is still better value at 51p/100g!

They don't make them like this anymore, oh wait a minute....
Might work out marginally less attractive than the £4 boxes but theres something about these big tins, must be nostalgia.....

Yes although the 10KG Quality street tubs were annoying to lug about.

Aye, and when the tin was empty you had a cheap drum. Stick a hole either side of the tin, thread some string through it, then hang around a kids neck. Give them a couple of sticks and they could annoy the whole street for weeks... Of course, elfin safety, would never allow anyone to put string around a kids neck these days and even if they did, they would be forced to wear ear defenders.

I miss the cracknell, that was my favourite, what they have now is a pale imitation of the QS of old.
