Quality Street fans divided as woman works out the ‘worst sweet’ in the box – but do you agree?

CHILLIER months are on the horizon and that can only mean one thing – it’s nearly time to crack open Quality Street boxes. 

While the chocolate treats are a Christmas staple, one woman has sparked a debate after claiming to have worked out the “worst Quality Street.”

The chocolate fan took to Reddit to share her findings after a box went round her office.

Posting to Casual UK, she shared a photo of the unwanted sweets that remained untouched.

And it turns out the toffee penny sweets were the least favourite. 

She captioned the snap: “The office have silently voted. This is the worst Quality Street sweet.”

Of course, it didn’t take long for people to weigh in with their own thoughts.

One passionate fan said: “They’re my favourites. The only ones I even eat are these, the caramel sticks and the solid lumps of chocolate.”

Another joked: “Are you looking for a new job?”

And a third commented: “Strawberry cream is the worst, clearly green triangle is the best.”

One continued: “Strawberry delights bang. Orange creams however, yikes from me.”

Meanwhile, one Reddit user wrote: “How can this be worst when there is a coconut sweet?”

And a chocolate fan said: “Blasphemy. Gimme them all.”

The Quality Street website says: “We have 12 varieties in our Quality Street range. 

“From original favourites including The Green Triangle and Toffee Finger, to newer sweets such as our Strawberry Delight and Lemon Zing.”

Nestlé recently announced that it would scrap the iconic see-through plastic packaging and foil used to package Quality Street chocolate.

The 12 brightly coloured plastic wrappers surrounding the famous chocolates have been around for 86 years.

In a bid to become more environmentally friendly, the chocolates will be wrapped in a duller form of waxed paper, which is recyclable.

The move is designed to stop around two billion wrappers a year from being thrown into landfill.

But the packaging surrounding two chocolates remains exactly the same.

The foil-wrapped orange crunch and green triangle chocolates will remain in use, according to Nestlé.

The purple one, orange creme, toffee finger, milk chocolate block, strawberry delight, fudge, toffee penny, caramel swirl, coconut eclair and lemon zing chocolate sweets will all now get new packaging.

According to Nestlé, around 1.7billion Quality Street chocolates are gobbled up in Britain every year, the equivalent of about 63 per household.
