Both rubbish, you might was well just tip a bag of sugar down your throat. Buy some proper chocolate instead.

You mean there's sugar in sweets?

You seriously telling us what we should and shouldn't enjoy based on your rules rather than the evidence of our own senses?

Heroes for me. Celebrations aren't as much of a treat, I think because I see Mars/Twix/Snickers as everyday chocolate.

I feel cheated with the way they've hollowed out one side of each segment, it detracts from the joy of a choccie orange 😂

Of course, this is STW.

I'm suggesting that confectionery that actually tastes of something is preferable to something that merely tastes sweet. And if you just want something sweet, you can save even more money by buying a bag of sugar and just spooning it in.

If you don't want the coconut ones, I'll have 'em! Those are the best 🙂

Celebrations in our house. I think it's harking back to my Northern working class roots.

Never really got on with the chocolate orange and Toblerones are full of bits of MDF.

I  occasionally eat fun size Mars bars whilst secretly pretending to be a giant…. or King size Mars bars whilst pretending to be a dwarf.

My favourite, though,  is to  eat the tiny Mars bars out of a box of Celebrations and pretend to be a dinosaur.

All the chocolates at that price point are pretty nasty these days.

It's not uncommon for the families that actually work growing cocoa beans to never taste chocolate, as it's too expensive.

I have mixed feelings about the whole thing to be honest.

Both are preferrable to roses or quality street, however, heroes clearly win. I'll also eat all of your coconuts too as those are the best!

Slightly queasy and like i really should go for a ride is my usual feeling after a tin.

I find them a complete letdown, as they don't have enough goo.
