Better Holiday Treat Beloved By Chinese People: Ferrero Rocher or Almond Roca

Roca

It's funny how perception/taste shifts as you age -- I used to think Ferrero Rocher was some kind of ultraluxury brand and now it seems kind of like whitman's sampler or something.

ferreros for me -- I like rocas but I get tired of crunching on them after awhile

also ratio of nutella in ferrero's is <3

ferreros were a thing at christmas with my family & friends back home --- but rocas are a thing with mr veg's family here. i get bummed that no-one gives me ferreros anymore but it seems lame to buy them for myself

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I think I have to turn in my Chinese card, I don't even know these.

Leeee don't worry just go to your nearest Asian supermarket, I guarantee you they'll have both of these

Once you've done so report back to me and I will stamp your Chinese card

They'll probably have different versions too. The rectangles and the heart shaped ones and the pyramids

I mean, the packaging. All the Ferreros are the same. At the checkout you'll have an opportunity to buy the three pack for a dollar

god I could murder a 3pk of ferreros right now

Judging by the packaging, none of these look appetizing. :\

Judging by the packaging?

I just had two Almond Rocas

The worst is a stale Ferrero Rocher. There's no crunch

Dayo we clearly do not agree on fast food, but we agree on the second-rate holiday candies. Roca ftw!

never had Rocas, voting for them cos Ferrero Rocher are lame

You are entirely correct.

Voted for Almond Roca, because in the UK Ferrero Rocher are a bit commonplace and not really considered special. They're the kind of thing you buy when you're going to see relatives and can't be bothered to get anything nice. Also the over-exposure of this advert.

And they're sold all year round here, so not really a 'holiday treat'.

Haha quincie

Does your ILXmail work? Or maybe you can ILXmail me

...but...but...
~filled with nutella~

We get our Ferreros from Sam's Club or Costco. I don't think I've ever had Almond Rocas.

I'd just buy a jar of Nutella #euroILXor

i can do that too #usailxor

Feel bad for the Chinese People if these are only consumed as holiday treats.

(voted Almond Roca but love each equally)

a coworker told me she did her graduate work studying the rise of almond roca and got to walk around the factory and spend time there and i was like <3333 best factory tour ever i bet

i don't really care for Nutella, probly explains my Ferrero ambivalence

By company tradition, a small amount of the original 1923 batch of toffee is carried over into each subsequent batch of candy.[5]

My mom loved both Almond Roca and Ferrero Rocher. She wasn't remotely Chinese, but she did have an easily pleased sweet tooth. I must say I'll eat either one, too, if they are given to me. Not too interested in buying them for myself, though, of the two, it's Almond Roca for me.
