Revels Roulette... I say, bring back the coconut!

It's surprising how much fun you can have on a Saturday afternoon with a couple of friends and a bag of revels! Have you every played revels roulette? Try it and see. Revels used to be maltesers, minstrels, coconut, orange, toffee and peanut. Then "Lord Revel' decided in his wisdom to add a bit of 'love and hate' to the experience by replacing the coconut with coffee. A BAD move, though it makes the game more interesting. They know we hate the coffee flavour - well, most of the population do. In July 08, revels started a 'revelseviction' campaign. I was a little like big brother but featured real, intelligent chocolates, rather than flaky nutters! Guess which flavour got the most votes? Coffee of course, with almost 50% of the votes. So, 'Lord Revel' reluctantly removed the coffee and replaced it with... strawberry?! A slight improvement but it wouldn't have been my first choice. Strawberries go much better with whipped cream or champagne! Now it's 2009 and the horrid little coffee creature has returned. Thankfully, as we found, there was just the one little blighter in the packet and luckily for me... I didn't get it! x
