Unwrapping the Story Behind Quality Street®
Since 1936, Quality Street® has been making family moments just that little bit sweeter. Who could forget the thrill of popping open a tin for the first time? The joy of rummaging through the vibrant colours, twisting each wrapper to uncover the sweet treat inside. Every Quality Street® experience is like delving into a treasure box of surprises!
From the rich caramel and crunchy hazelnut of The Purple One and the fruity sweetness of Strawberry Delight to the luxurious Toffee Finger and ever-popular Caramel Swirl, Quality Street® has a flavour for everyone and every occasion. But it’s not just about the chocolates—it’s about the shared joy in every tin. Whether it’s a lucky draw during family movie night, making sure everyone gets their favourite on Christmas morning, or debating who gets the coveted last Green Triangle, Quality Street® brings people together.
A lot has changed in the world since 1936 but Harold Macintosh’s vision of picking, unwrapping, and sharing Quality Street moments remains. So, next time you open a tin, remember, it’s more than just chocolate. It’s a family moment just waiting to happen.
To add even more feel-good moments to your Quality Street® experience, we debuted our trial paper tub at selected Tesco stores in October 2024. These beautifully designed, recyclable paper tubs have the same number of sweets as our plastic tubs and will hold more than 150 tonnes of sweets this festive season. This simple change aligns perfectly with our Packaging Plan, further reducing our impact on the planet. Crafted in our iconic purple and elegant gold foil, this paper tub is perfect for sharing or gifting.
As well as the trial paper tub, shoppers will be able to purchase the plastic tub, tin, pouch, and carton at stores nationwide.
