Thorntons

[loveallthingsitalian]

Considering my Poundland sells bags of Thorntons for £1, at £35 plus postage that leaves the other 3 items in the pack at a premium price. Oh well they only deliver to UK mainland so won't be tempted. Who buys at these prices when they must be available most places if even I can get them in Hicksville.

This guy sounds just like Liam from the show Benidorm!!

I don't consider Thorntons to be a classy brand. It's above Dairy Milk / Milk Tray etc but only a notch.

Yes, I agree and I found it really distracting. I bought a huge bumper pack direct from Thorntons before Christmas for £20 which was much better value than anything I saw today, plus I got some cashback as well

I need more info on the 'no added sugar' range before tasting a sample.
They are suspiciously coy about what goes into them instead of the evil white powder...

 

[Weathergirl]

Never understood why they bother selling chocolates.

In the Chocolate Selection bag it is Maltitol and Isomalt that are the sweetners.

Had several boxes of Thornton's bought me for Xmas , I wasn't impressed by them at all, the taste was poor and wont buying anything from them in the future

That means it is The Flatulence of Doom if I eat more than 3.
Ah well, you've saved me an unpleasant learning curve.

Thank you!

I can buy them for a pound a bag at my local newsagents and I only live in a small village/town. I can also buy Yankie candle here too for much less price than qvc.

I always thought that Thorntons WERE a cut above Cadbury's et al - based purely on their image and the look of chocs - until Christmas when I too was given some. And the solid chocolate wasn't only mediocre, it was properly nasty! The truffles all tasted sweet with little to distinguish them too. Think I shall save my pennies (will need quite a few!) and buy some hotel chocolat next time. (Though I do have to say that I do rate Thorntons toffee and fudge).

I too had Thorntons at Christmas, I was so disappointed imo they are not near as nice as Cadbury's.

Galaxy is my fave. And the Lindt ones (black wrapper)

A while back, I resentfully moved into dark chocolate, because it has less sugar (obviously I couldn't give up chocolate completely, just had to transfer my addiction). It took a few months, but now I love it. Tried one of those marvellous creations bars last week, and found it sickly, too rich and bland. Astonishing.

To my shock and dismay I have turned into a chocolate snob!!!

Thorntons chocolates are like Bayliss and Harding gift sets ie. you see them everywhere, they`re cheap, everybody gets at least one given to them, they look the part but are a let down and have no substance !

iAny of the Lindt for me too, just realised that I didn't get any this year and the diet starts tomorrow! Could I eat a full box today? Yes yes yes

 

[I Love Chocolate]

Well, I love Thorntons. So if you'd like to PM me, I'll give you my address and you can send all your unwanted chocolates to me!!!

I happily would do but I`m afraid I have a husband who is a chocoholic and hoovers up anybody`s unwanted chocolate !

Never understood why they bother selling chocolates.

Or selling meat and pies, I'd never order from them!!

 

[warwa100]

I just confess I ordered the TSV last year cos the sales pitch was pretty good and then I was really annoyed when it arrived because most of the chocolates had a used by date of Jan 2014, but they said they would last until Easter.

So the items I wanted to have out at Christmas we had to put away and eat the boxes that were going off first.

I won't be buying Thornton's chocolates from QVC again.
