It’s Time To Admit That The Celebrations Chocolate Mix Is Way Better Than A Box Of Favourites

It’s not Christmas without a controversial opinion from someone close to you.

In this case, it’s time to sit up and take notice of a deep truth that’s been staring us in the face for a long time. Please, take a seat, we’re about to go on an educational journey.

OK, now you’re settled, here it is: The Celebrations box of assorted chocolates is far superior to the Cadbury’s Favourites box.

If you’re not convinced by that simple statement thrown out as the gospel word, I don’t blame you.

As always, it’s time to provide some cold, hard evidence to back it up.

1. The selection is far superior — in fact, the Celebrations box only has ONE bad chocolate

Think of it this way: Every time you have a box of Favourites there are at least three dud chocolates left over that no one really wants… usually a Cherry Ripe, a Turkish Delight, sometimes a Moro (the shit Mars Bar) or a Crunchie (the shit Violet Crumble).

When you have a box of Celebrations, you’re usually only left with one leftover dud: The Bounty.

Now you’ve thought about it properly, I bet your mind is truly blown.

But we’re not done yet…

2. It doesn’t have Turkish Delights

It’s a known fact that the only people who like Turkish Delights are your dad, your grandma, and a couple of your weirdo work friends who are just plain wrong in their opinions.

3. The mini Malteser choccies are like a gift from the heavens

If you don’t believe me, go eat one. It’ll change your mind instantly.

4. Everyone’s so used to a box of Favourites, you can probably bring a box of Celebrations over and eat it all by yourself

While your family fights over who gets the Boost chocolate (arguably, one of the best in the Favourites box) you can just be smashing your own box.

A box of Celebrations that is.

5. They’re currently one dollar cheaper at your local supermarkets, so they’re also a bargain!

I realise this line probably sounds like I am now the passionate PR person behind a Celebrations box, but in fact, I am not. I am just a girl, standing in front of a box of Celebrations, asking it to love her.

Also, I’ve had this argument at work numerous times now so I just want to get people on my side. 

Read all this compelling evidence and still think I’m wrong? OK, that’s fine, but you are too.

Merry Christmas, and whichever chocolate you choose to indulge in, I hope you at least get the best one out of the box.
