Yesterday we were conducting an experiment into the Distribution of Revel sweet types per bag, a highly worthy piece of research I'm sure you'll agree. One whose conclusions may reverberate around the halls of Whitehall for some time to come.
So we asked you to help us increase our sample size in our experiment, counting the actual number of Revels that you got in a bog standard bag, and counting the number of each sweet type.
The reason? Well we're trying to find exactly how it is that Revels are dispensed into each bag. We had long and heated arguments about how this might be done, and this research goes some way to proving/disproving cases.
So let's have a look at the new data that has been sent in by some of our readers:
Now, whilst the average number of Revels per bag stays *fairly* constant at 17 or 18, some bags did contain only 16 sweets. These readers wrote in about feelings of disappointment and sadness at this fact.
Next FACT! It is clear that the individual sweet types are not counted per bag and then dropped in. As we can see, Orange flavour sweets in particular suffered from wide swings in numbers.
A trend is forming in that coffee sweet levels were lower than average per type - making us wonder if Masterfoods realise that we all hate them and reduce the numbers per bag.
Our important research continues. Send us more data! |

Leave off the orange ones - them and the coffee ones are the only reason to buy revels - otherwise you can just buy peanut M&Ms, Maltesers, Minstrels etc.

oh bugger - a workmate has just pointed out that you can buy the orange and coffee ones individually - they're sold as Poppetts!
There goes my arguement to justify Revels :(

Ha ha!
Poppets are stinky, apart from the minty ones. They're recently updated their packaging to appeal to the snazzy youngsters demographic.
p.s. I just had a bag, and according to the graph, it technically shouldn't be 'Minstrels', it should just be 'chocolate'.

Yeah, but technically they are all 'chocolate', aren't they? While calling them Minstrels made it all clear.
Except for Americans that is.

Minstrels have a crunchy outer shell that melt in your mouth and not in your hand, unlike the choco revels. I'm just relaying what it says on the packet, since I did have one this afternoon.
