Quality Street fans have been ‘auditing’ this year’s tubs to see how many of each flavour are included in the mix – and some are ‘disappointed’ about the lack of one option in particular.

The followers of X account Inequality Street, said to be ‘holding confectioners accountable for chocolate inequalities’, have started to submit their audits, whereby they count the selection of sweets available in their Christmas box.

The account was first set up a few years ago by ‘honorary president’ Stephen Hull, from London, who shared his own findings and encouraged others to do the same.

This year, some Quality Street fans bemoaned the lack of Green Triangles in their tubs compared to the other sweets included in their tub’s collection.

The Green Triangle – a favourite for many – boasts a smooth hazelnut centre surrounded by delicious milk chocolate.

Writing on X, formerly Twitter, alongside a picture of their results, one fan wrote: ‘Quite an even spread, not enough triangles as usual.’

The social media user’s box appeared to contain five triangles, compared to eight pink fudge and seven Strawberry Delights, for instance. 

Meanwhile, the Inequality Street account reposted another photo uploaded by a Quality Street fan who shared their own results after buying a tin earlier this month.

The fan captioned their post with ‘My first audit of 2023’ and revealed that out of the 63 items included in their Quality Street tin, the highest number of chocolates were nine Fudges. 

These were followed by seven Caramel Swirls, five The Purple Ones, four Toffee Pennies and four The Green Triangles. 

Fellow Christmas chocolate consumers shared their outrage after prying open the lid to their tins, with one writing: ‘There are only 3(!!!) Green Triangles in my Quality Street tub! 3!!!!!’ 

‘November needs to be erased from the calendar and Quality Street chocolate selection team need a serious shake up!’ 

A hairdresser, who often shares tins with colleagues while at work, wrote: ‘We look forward to a chocolate and a cup of tea between clients and I was gutted when I opened my tub of Quality Street and no orange cremes or green triangles!!’

Several fans of Quality Street tubs took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their shock over the lack of personal favourites in their recent purchases

MailOnline has contacted Nestle for comment. 

This week, Cadbury apologised and explained the reason behind the random quantities of various chocolates in their tins after fans complained they’re not getting enough of their favourites.

One disgruntled user vented on X, formerly Twitter, and said: ‘Where are the tangy orange chocolates? They’re my faves.’

Cadbury was quick to respond and explained: ‘Sorry about that! The tins are filled at random, so we have no control over the contents of individual tins.’

MailOnline also reported in 2019 of how researchers counted, sorted and weighed almost 1,300 chocolates from the UK’s most popular Christmas tins after asking people what their favourites were in each box. 

The results revealed the most popular sweets – including Malteser Teasers – were not among the most abundant, with Nestlé, the maker of Quality Street, explaining at the time that this was down to keeping the weight, nutritional value and cost of each tub steady.
