I ♥ Quality Street

Advantages: Cheap, good selection of sweets to choose from
Disadvantages: Orange and Strawberry ones taste horrible

...Nestlé Quality Streets are delicious and are sold in a few different sized packages. Quality Streets are a firm favourite of mines because they taste great and there is a good assortment of chocolate in each box or tin. Nestlé Quality Streets were launched in 1936 and are still an extremely popular boxed twist wrap assortment. Packaging Quality Streets can be bought either in the form of a carton, jar or hexagonal shaped tin. You can buy a ~ *275g carton *480g carton *1.2kg hexagonal tin *2.2kg hexagonal tin *900g plastic jar Even although Nestlé Quality Streets are sold in different sized cartons and tins the colour and logo of the packaging remains the same on each of them. They all still have the same bright purple coloured packaging with the bold white Nestlé Quality Streets logo printed on them. So they...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

Quality Street, yum!!

Advantages: great variety, yummy taste
Disadvantages: need some white chocolate!!

...You and your family and the majority of the UK will probably buy a big tin of Quality Street or Roses at Christmas, For me its Quality Street all the way!! So I decided to review these gorgeous chocolates that seem to have been around forever! ~The History~ Established back in 1936! When they were first launched a tin cost two shillings (10p). 'Quality Street' were named after a JM Barrie play and the two characters on the tin wre based on two characters from this play. ~Quality Street Facts~ The Nestle Rowntree factory that makes the sweets is based in Halifax, West Yorkshire; Nearly 7 million sweets are manufactured here every day! Quality Street are now available in over 70 countries including Canada where they are very popular. According to the Rowntrees website, the Purple Hazelnut in caramel chocolate is the most...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

***QUALITY CHRISTMAS***

Advantages: Something for everyone, snazzy packaging & value for money
Disadvantages: You get the odd one you don't like & they can get sickly after a while.

...This is my special Christmas review I don't normally eat this many chocolates in a row (honest) but for ciao I will make an exception. THE START OF QUALITY STREET Quality Street have been around forever haven't they? Along with Roses I think they were invented with Adam and Eve, that wasn't leaves covering their modesty it was the green triangle! Produced by Nestle in 1936 they came out in pretty boxes costing around 2 shilling and in the 50's moved on to the tins which I think was the best and will remain the best packaging for Quality Street. Quality Street is exported to over 70 worldwide countries and remains one of the most exciting chocolate varieties you can buy. They were no1 bestseller for twist wrap assortment in 2005, 06 and 07 proving they still have what it takes to please people's taste buds. PACKAGING You can...

Quality Street

Advantages: central location, cheap(ish), large room
Disadvantages: hanging space limited, rooms on a walkway

...Mack was on the lookout for a holiday in September, and just by pure luck she saw an ad in one of the Sunday papers for half price holidays with Virgin. With frantic text and phone calls to her travel buddy, within the hour a 10 day trip to Orlando was booked. Quality Inn International sits almost plum in the middle of International Drive, just past the crossroads at Sand Lake Road. If you've seen the world's largest McDonalds (and how could you miss it?) then you've seen the Quality Inn, which is right next to it. * Checking in * After an eight hour flight, the last thing I needed was a lengthy check in but I only had to give my name at Registration and the lady had everything ready for us, including two key cards. She also gave my friend and I some little 'extras' including a voucher for a free drink at the bar, two free...

Review of Quality Inn International, Orlando

Quality Treat

Advantages: Fantastic value
Disadvantages: Moreish, can be easy to over indulge

...I love Christmas and am lucky to have friends and family to enjoy it with. A product I always associate with Christmas is Quality Street as it always seems to have been around at this special time of year. Today somehow it appears much more ordinary and less luxurious than the packaging and media hype would have you believe. Still popular in offices and mess rooms, it seems many people still feel the urge to dip into a tin and select their personal favourite. Please indulge me as I try to explain why I think this assortment still represents a savvy buy at Christmas or thereabouts. Value For Money Local supermarkets were knocking out a 1.2 kg tin (which is 1.16kg sweets if you exclude the wrappings) at the rate of any 2 for £9.00 just before Christmas. This equates to less than 39p per 100g for a well known and branded...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

A NEAT TREAT ON ANY STREET

Advantages: It`s Chocolate
Disadvantages: They can be sickly

...I have never really gone for boxes of chocolates in a big way, mainly because you have no choice as to the contents of the box and have to take the chocolates you find less appealing with those you like. Never the less, when I was given a box of Quality Street by a friend last week I set about them with relish. And I have to say they were a thoroughly enjoyable alternative to my usual form of chocolate consumption, yes there are one or two that I found less enjoyable but they were outweighed by the decent mouth watering selections. As I received these as a gift I was not immediately aware of price details but a quick look on the Tesco website tells me the 480g box I was in possession of costs £3.28. The chocolates inside are an eclectic bunch but I?m sure there is something for everyone if sharing is unavoidable. I have reviewed each...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

Quality in a box!

Advantages: CHOCOLATE! Good variety. Different size containers. Yummy!
Disadvantages: You cant just have one!

...Its very rare that i recieve a box of Quality street chocolates, but boy, when i do they do not last for long. After babysitting my two little cousins last week, my Aunt and uncle decided to treat me: to a huge tin of Quality Streets. (Think they're trying to fatten me up). I was thrilled with my gift and couldnt wait to get stuck in! The tin was octagonal and weighed a whopping 1.2kg. Im not sure how much this would have costed as i got it from somebody and im not rude enough to ask. The tin was quite good looking, bright purple with QUALITY STREET written in white writing. There were also a few pictures of the sweets inside on top of the tin and around the sides. Opening the tin, i didnt get a strong smell of chocolate, this was probably to do with the fact all the chocolates were wrapped up in foil paper. The tin was...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

Quality Street... more like Poor Quality Alleyway

Advantages: i suppose if you need chocolate they do the job
Disadvantages: just not as good as similar products (namely Roses)

...Did you know that Nestle was founded in 1866? I was quite surprised when I found that one out, because you would have thought that after nearly 150 years, they would have finally worked out how to make nice chocolates. It wasn't until the 1980s that they suddenly went around buying up all the great confectionary companies in other contries. Remember how nice Rowntree fruitgums used to be? Well if like me, you suddenly noticed their flavour go down hill, then that just happened to be the same timem that Nestle took over. So you get the idea that I don't like Nestle that much then? Well you would be completley correct, so you won't be surprised when my opinion of Nestle Quality Street isn't particularly nice either. A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY The brand was introduced in 1936 and named after a JM Barrie play (of Peter Pan fame...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

Streets Ahead

Advantages: nice selection
Disadvantages: nasty peanut cracknell. And dead children

...This Christmas, whilst wolfing down the traditional eight kilos of Quality Street, I tried very hard not to think about the fact that the manufacturer, Nestle, are responsible for the deaths of several thousand children a year due to their milk-marketing policies in the Third World. This wasn't so difficult when experiencing the delirious delights of a Caramel Cup ("mmmm - meltingly beautiful caramel - dead children are the last thing on my mind - mmmm"), but was more so when struggling through the gritty horrors of the quite frankly disgusting Peanut Cracknell ("ugh - the bitterness of this foul confectionary immediately brings to mind the evil-doers at Nestle and their irresponsible milk-marketing policies in the Third World - ugh"). Many of you no doubt suffered similar dilemmas. I don't want this to turn into a tedious political...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

Quality's Treat

Advantages: Excellent choice
Disadvantages: Some people may find them a bit too sickly-sweet

...Nestle Quality Street is something you can crack open whether it?s Christmas, you?re having a party or you?re just in the mood to spoil yourself. With so many wickedly tempting varieties, it?s a timeless selection that never loses its appeal to me. I am writing this with a newly opened box and generally feeling a bit sorry for myself (the kids have so far been off nursery for two weeks and it?s just starting to get on my nerves a bit). So I thought to myself, rather than just stuff my face and feel worse for it, I would just stuff my face (or share, seeing as how Marc is right next to me!) and write a review about them at the same time. Perhaps this will make me feel a bit better too! THE PACKAGING Nestle Quality Street comes in a few different packages. You can buy these delicious sweets in large hexagon tins (hmm? I think it...
