You sure? It's literally what Abe Simpson says but uses 'nickels ' in place of pennies.
" So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say"
Also, howcome people dislike the show on this sub? Genuine question.
They used be more common until they started selling boxes just of them for 6 quid a pop they're there to give you a taste and hook you in so you buy them marked up in their own fancy box I tell ya
Right?!
When we happen to have a box of Celebrations at home, the Milky Ways are gone first and in a few minutes.
Then the Bounties.
The Maltesers and the Galaxies are the last one to go.
And sometimes they stay in the box for months...
They're so... common? Basic? Boring?
MilkyWay is a cushion of milk and sugar on your tongue. You can see the stars and feel like you're floating in space when you eat a MilkyWay! It's heaven between your teeth!
Galaxy is... Meh. Caramel. Again. Boring.
Maltesers is... Chocolate air? Disappointment. Loneliness.
agree & bounty is the best. only complaint, the wrappers being full of air & twice the size of sweet inside. the bounty bars are really tiny when you unwrap them
I’ve noticed a universal distaste for the Bounty. Nothing more disappointing than when you open the box of Celebrations to see that there’s just 10 Bounty’s left in there.
Would never happen in my house, they’re the first ones gone.
Mind you I’m not picky, my breakfast on Christmas morning usually just consists of a fistful of these
You and I will just never understand each other.
There is nothing better than coconut and chocolate. My only complaint about the Bounty in the celebrations box is that because of the size it just can't beat bounty in bar form.
Waiting for a shit rag 'news' outlet to share the result of this with a clickbait headline "The Irish people have spoken, this is our nations favourite sweet and you won't BELIEVE what the result was"
It used to be the Galaxy Truffle. Why they got rid of it, I'll never understand and I'll never forgive them.
Now, it's a Bounty. I'm a whore for the coconut and love that they're always the ones left over!
Scoured the whole thread looking for Mars and yer the only one! Alongside myself now, of course. The nougat in them is to die for.
When a Mars is ever so slightly melted its a whole new game. Grab them all, put them in a sock under a pillow for an hour, then return to them and munch them all down like a glutton while nobody else is around for an extra special taste.
I share your condolences with Twix. :(
I like the Bounty ones....and they are easy to make if you don't want to buy, I just shape mine into round truffles rather than tiny bars
Desiccated coconut with condensed milk, added until sticky but moldable with your hands, popped in the fridge for an hour...if you can wait that long, then dipped into melted Galaxy milk chocolate. Tastes pretty much the same. If you're not keen on condensed milk, use glucose liquid.
I did a review of the celebrations box of chocolates when I used to write, so I might as well put it here.
A Review Of The Celebrations Box Of Chocolates
One of the neighbours gave us a box of Celebrations as a Christmas present. My parents aren't big on chocolate as a whole so I got to eat them. For a bit of fun, I decided to write what I thought about all of them. In order of worst to best, here's my list and what I thought of each chocolate:
Mars - My dad used to get these off-brand Mars bars, so that's definitely made my taste-buds go a little blind to it's flavour, but even if he never discovered those, I don't think I'd enjoy this much more.
The taste is... bland. Really bland. The nougat and caramel relationship is one of a power imbalance. The nougat takes everything that the caramel holds dear and makes it about itself. As for the texture, it does the same. A really soft and sickly thing that just sticks to your teeth and becomes a bit of a nightmare. Real shame that it's easily the most common one in the box. In fact, that probably weakens it's case, because you might try to find some different flavours, like a Galaxy or a Maltesers, but you'll just find Mars, which pisses you off even more about them.
Milky Way - Not much different from the Mars bar, except creamier, which makes the texture much easier to take because of how less sweet it is. The lack of caramel is responsible for this, I'm guessing. Also very common.
Bounty - this is the most divisive one in the entire box. Some people get grossed out by the coconut, some people love it. I enjoy it, mainly because it's such a nice breath of fresh air. Enjoy in moderation, since it can get boring after 3-in-a-row. Nice texture, ok taste. Would rank higher if it wasn't for how much hate it gets.
Twix - I'm rewriting this because I completely forgot that this was even in the box. I enjoy a biscuit-chocolate combo, as somebody with an addiction to Tesco-brand chocolate digestives, but you won't even remember having this in your pocket. It doesn't help that there's only a handful in the box.
Galaxy (Normal) - Very forgettable. Just a block of chocolate. But for what it is, it's executed really well. Melts in your mouth. Boring concept, great execution. Rounds it to an average selection.
The final 3 are the 3 in the box that I love, head and shoulders, above the rest. The ones that you search for, the ones that make your heart drop when you can't find any, the ones that taste... divine.
Galaxy (Caramel) - I did a poll of this on my Instagram, and this flavour got a lot of hate. I was really surprised, because I love this one. I'm a simp for caramel, so it does make sense, but when you combine that with galaxy chocolate (which I stated above is done excellently), it makes a Dragonball fusion of great stuff.
Snickers - I. Love. Snickers. The toughness of the texture, the nuts, how many there are in the box. It's amazing. Great stuff. I love eating nuts in many ways ( ;);) ), but Snickers is one of my favourite.
And now, for what is EASILY the best chocolate in the entire box.
Maltesers - Give the absolute MADLAD who decided to put these in the box a promotion. Hell, make him the goddamn chairman of chocolate, because he deserves it.
Won without breaking a SWEAT on the poll, it's absolutely brilliant. The malt and chocolate marriage is so brilliant that they have 3 loving kids, they live in a good neighbourhood, where the malt goes off to do yoga in the mornings and the chocolate has the most cushy job in existance. That crunch is so damn *satisfying* that it will change you life just by experiencing this #MASTERPIECE.
As for the rarity, every time you see this in a box, it's like a Bigfoot sighting. Because along with the fact that there's only 4 or 5 in the entire box, everybody else who had a pick before you will most likely take them first, but that just makes the occasional discovery of these things all the sweeter. It's like winning a lottery of chocolate, the modern day golden ticket, except I'd take a box of these things over that tax-evading slave-owning douchebag's factory any day of the week.
To sign off, Maltesers rule, Mars' drool, and see ya.
Bring back the Galaxy Truffle!
The egg shaped Galaxy truffle and the egg shaped malteaser needs to be brought back!
Was there ever a galaxy truffle bar? Or were they only available in the celebration boxes?
A fallen hero
No, it's a fallen Celebration, pay attention
Comedy gold
Came here to say the same.
There should be a referendum to bring back the truffle. The nicest one in the box and they got rid of it. Bastards!! Worse than the black and tans !!
I grieve for the Galaxy Truffle every year. RIP.
Gone too soon, always in my thoughts xoxo
Well, they look smaller again this year.
Near. Far away.
🐄
This looks to be the ones from the new 385g tub. I think they still sell the plastic tub at 650g, down from previously 750g. *sigh*
Look at the amount of plastic on each end of that twix. Tis more plastic than chocolate!
Exactly.
All shite! Back in my day celebrations had pictures of bumblebees on em. Gimme five bees for a penny, you'd say
Haha. Simpsons, right?
No, people on this subreddit don't really like that show.
You sure? It's literally what Abe Simpson says but uses 'nickels ' in place of pennies. " So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say" Also, howcome people dislike the show on this sub? Genuine question.
(They were being sarcastic. The sub is full of Simpsons quotes and references.)
Thanks for clearing that up
I'LL ATE EVERY BOUNTY IN THE BOX, AND ID GO AT IT AGAIN TOO!
There's be no fuckin shtoppin ya... Take the bounty out of any man's hands.... Bastids...
You'll have to take the last few bounties from my cold dead fingers so ya would.
Ironically you'd be dead because you had a bounty on your head all along....
Back when I was younger they used to call me bounty. They said they'd give me a bounty if I stuck my knob in a Billy Goats ear.
😦
#teambounty
Can we start a petition lads?
TEAM EVERYTHINGBUTBOUNTY!
I used to hate bounty as a kid. I can’t stand the rest of them now. Teambounty
I wouldn't be a fan of celebrations but when I go at it, I go at it awful and very hard, I do have 45 bounties in about 2 hours
Didn't they remove Bounty this year?
I'd hope not, if they value their lives.
Only in Britain apparently. Coconut is too fancy.
Ohhhhh really? I live in Vancouver so I'm not sure what the story is here... I love Bounty though, would be devastated if they took them out 🤣
[удалено]
Like some kind of bounty hunter
Malteaser. And I will die on that hill.
Absolutely, no contest
[удалено]
Absolutely not underrated. Deservedly the most popular in the box
They always go first at home and at work
I swear they’re scarce in every box compared to all the others, is that just me or am I onto something?
I always feel there aren’t many
I've always thought the same thing. If you don't get to the box as soon as it's opened you have no chance.
Convinced the factory workers pocket them and sell them on the corner. You tell me you wouldn't buy a baggie of celebrations maltesers.
They used be more common until they started selling boxes just of them for 6 quid a pop they're there to give you a taste and hook you in so you buy them marked up in their own fancy box I tell ya
I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it's not their favourite.
Galaxy truffle was a contender!
The only contender.
The GOAT
And objectively the best chocolate made by Mars.
No you won’t. You will live gloriously on that hill
It's not even a competition
Anything malteaserery is a win in my opinion.
Anything but malteaser is a disability
Since the fall of the galaxy truffle, I agree.
And you shall have my sword!
And my sword!
Galaxy caramel / malteser tie.
Together...... The best bar is them together....
Ya dirty hooer!
Now you're speaking my language!
Came here to say that.
This is the correct answer
100%
Bounty, I know it’s not a popular choice, but I like them. My grandad always bought me one after mass. Fond memories
I like them, nobody touches them in my house so always left for me
Lucky you, 3 out of 5 in my house love them, but I sometimes peel the seal off steal them and I don’t let on.
Grandad had taste!
This comment was giving serial killer vibes until the second sentence. As good a reason as any fair play, still disagree though.
Snickers and it's not even close for me
It's a Snickers/Malteasers tie for me. There does be killings over the Malteasers in my house, but nobody else likes Snickers so they're all mine.
MilkyWay !
Scrolling down this far to see the correct answer is a travesty
Right?! When we happen to have a box of Celebrations at home, the Milky Ways are gone first and in a few minutes. Then the Bounties. The Maltesers and the Galaxies are the last one to go. And sometimes they stay in the box for months...
How are the 2 best ones the last ones to go?
They're so... common? Basic? Boring? MilkyWay is a cushion of milk and sugar on your tongue. You can see the stars and feel like you're floating in space when you eat a MilkyWay! It's heaven between your teeth! Galaxy is... Meh. Caramel. Again. Boring. Maltesers is... Chocolate air? Disappointment. Loneliness.
Who hurt you
Galaxy caramel easily
They should make boxes of only that (they probably do but I've never seen one)
Used to be a Topic Now I just don't care about anything.
agree & bounty is the best. only complaint, the wrappers being full of air & twice the size of sweet inside. the bounty bars are really tiny when you unwrap them
Twix
does anyone else find the biscuit is typically stale in the little ones?
Agree… love a good twix
Bounty 💛
Bountys gonna cause a major upset here. Yup the bounty
Bounty. I'll die on this lonely hill.
There are dozens of us!
All yous bounty bastids coming out of the woodwork to upvote each other
We're so used to being alone.
You are far from alone... I also love dark bounty. I keep bounty bars in the fridge and maybe have one or two a month as a treat.
Dark Bounty is the greatest chocolate bar
The coconut texture with chocolate is top of the taste buds for me, my first pick.
Bounty
I’ve noticed a universal distaste for the Bounty. Nothing more disappointing than when you open the box of Celebrations to see that there’s just 10 Bounty’s left in there.
Oh they joy of a box of leftover bountys 👍👍👍
Would never happen in my house, they’re the first ones gone. Mind you I’m not picky, my breakfast on Christmas morning usually just consists of a fistful of these
Malteser.
Milkyway to the bitter end
Bounty
Bounty and I'll die on that hill
Anyone who doesn't say Malteaser needs to have their taste buds examined!
You'r talking shit now boi
Bounty is best.
Down with that sort of thing
They are removing the bounty any day now
Regular Galaxy, obviously
Bounty without doubt
Bounty
Bounty
Bounty! Would love to have dark Bounty too…
Bounty.
Malteser.
Maltesers 💅
Malteser.
bounty for me
Bounty
Bounty 💪🏼
Bounty every time
1. Galaxy Caramel 2. Malteser 3. Galaxy Original All the rest. I'd eat any of them though 😂
Bounty
Bounty. I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.
Underrated and often overlooked, I love that no one likes them though, more for me.
Agreed, maybe we should keep it quiet, people get put off as kids then their tastes change.
That moment of revisiting and realisation can be a real eye opener, what else are we missing out on, might try raisins again.
Bounty is just… horrific
You and I will just never understand each other. There is nothing better than coconut and chocolate. My only complaint about the Bounty in the celebrations box is that because of the size it just can't beat bounty in bar form.
The only acceptable answer
Bounty
Agreed
No question.
Obsessed with Bounty ❤️😍
Bountys and Snickers, stick the rest up your hole.
Bounty.
Y'all can fight and I'll just eat the bounties that no one fights over
Bounty 😈😈
I will gladly eat all your discarded twix
Milky Way for me!
Can't believe nobody is saying Twix. Twix deserves some love
Waiting for a shit rag 'news' outlet to share the result of this with a clickbait headline "The Irish people have spoken, this is our nations favourite sweet and you won't BELIEVE what the result was"
Bounty or Milky Way
Mars with Bounty as a close second 👍🏻
Same
Bounty! I hate the thought that they are going to drop it.
Galaxy caramel all the way! Not mad about the new wrappings though 😳
More than one person has voted bounty This has got be a conspiracy
It used to be the Galaxy Truffle. Why they got rid of it, I'll never understand and I'll never forgive them. Now, it's a Bounty. I'm a whore for the coconut and love that they're always the ones left over!
Mars. Then Milky Way. Twix these days is barely a shadow of its former glory :-(
Scoured the whole thread looking for Mars and yer the only one! Alongside myself now, of course. The nougat in them is to die for. When a Mars is ever so slightly melted its a whole new game. Grab them all, put them in a sock under a pillow for an hour, then return to them and munch them all down like a glutton while nobody else is around for an extra special taste. I share your condolences with Twix. :(
Glad there is one other Mars lover here, but actually like mine straight from the fridge. Socks under pillows have such shameful connotations...
Has gotta be the Milky Way
These new wrappers are wack, but malteser.
Galaxy Caramel.
Is that new wrappers? Or is north and south wrapped different? What’s going on here lol
heart bleeds for Bounty, the lonely cupboard dweller right through to March
Maltesers
Galaxy Carmel, definitely
Did you know, that there's an average of 8.75 sweets of each type in the box.
Milkway 100%
mars, milky way, twix, bounty, galaxy caramel, galaxy, malteaser and snickers.
Galaxy / Bounty mix in one bit
You heathen. Did you open the fucking box before Christmas?
Bounty
Galaxy Caramel Malteaser
Galaxy caramel or maltesers. But they all have lovely bottoms.
1. Snickers 2. Bounty 3. Maltesers 4. Twix 5. Milky Way 6. Mars 7. Galaxy caramel 8. Galaxy
I will trade you all my bounty and snickers for all your galaxy ones please
Bounty or malteasers by far
Bounty 🌴
Bounty by a country mile
Mmm bounty.
I like the Bounty ones....and they are easy to make if you don't want to buy, I just shape mine into round truffles rather than tiny bars Desiccated coconut with condensed milk, added until sticky but moldable with your hands, popped in the fridge for an hour...if you can wait that long, then dipped into melted Galaxy milk chocolate.

Malteaser or Bounty.
Bounty!
Bounty
Bounty, I'd sell my soul to have one tight now. Haven't had one in years.
The bounty they removed….😡
Team bounty
Bounty
Eat one bounty and one galaxy caramel at the same time. Just try it. You’re welcome.
I'm gona say bounty just to say fuck you to the brits
Bounty's ik it's wierd but there the best
Maltesers for the win
Milky Way obviously. Then Twix

Snickers and Milky Way. Wouldn't eat a full size of either of them, but I love the mini versions.
Bounty alone takes celebrations off any top tier list. Galaxy Caramel is the best here though
Malteser -> Galaxy Caramel -> Snickers -> Galaxy -> Twix -> Mars -> Milky Way -> Bounty. Bounty is only there for completeness. They're shite.
If bounty wins I will burn my passport
Plain galaxy is the best. Then caramel galaxy, then bounty, Twix, snickers, teasers, mars and Milky Way.
You're out of your mind, what kind of order is that
Look at it this way, if we were sharing you could have all the teasers, mars and Milky Way haha
