All fall down

For years we didn't think these actually existed in a tin of Quality Street. We believed their picture was on the outside purely for decoration because every year, Mum got their first, removed all the green triangles and then sealed the tin back up again.

As we got older, we realised what was going on and if we found one that she'd missed then we were jubilant and much teasing ensued.

Many years later, it turns out I don't like them after all - shall I save them for her?
