Christmas is a time for many things: spending time with family, giving gifts, decorating the tree. But secretly, we all know that the best part of Christmas is the food.
There are many controversies surrounding Christmas food traditions. Is turkey too dry? Is cauliflower a traditional trimming? Which Christmas sandwich is the best?
This year, one argument has come out above the rest. Which Quality Street is the best one?
Bit of spare time on my hands today so I audited the unopened Quality Street tin. Just 4 purples (4.7%) and yet a massive 11 (12.9%) orange ones. Another blow for 2020. Who do I complain to? #inequalitystreet pic.twitter.com/8cDu6yDbcP

It all started with Stephen Hull on Twitter complaining about the unequal portions of each chocolate in the tins. Someone else complained that the new cardboard boxes are inferior to the beautiful traditional tins. Others complained about the decreasing size of Quality Street boxes.
So the Raven team set out to answer the most important Quality Street argument of all: which one is the best one?
Quality Street: The Official Rankings
We asked people on Twitter and Instagram to tell us what their favourite Quality Street is. There were strong opinions across the board and participants were not afraid to argue their corner.
Our users have come to a decision:
The Green Triangle is the best Quality Street of them all.
One Instagram user responded: “The green triangle [is the best] or you’re sick.”
Another said she adored “all three sides of that beautiful green triangle”.
Despite coming in a respectable second place, Strawberry Delight fans were the most vocal in their opinions.
One respondent said: “Strawberry Delight is a personal favourite of mine… it’s super erotic vibes.” He followed up by calling the Toffee Penny “basic” and describing the Fudge as “eww”.
Another called Strawberry Delight “the elite choice”.
A small portion of commenters were upset that we were debating Quality Street altogether. They claimed other Christmas chocolates have been forgotten almost entirely and were far more worthy of discussion.
One tweeter summed it up, writing: “All Quality Street are bad. Cadbury Heroes [are the best].”
