Quality Street fans confused as wrappers change after 86 years - but new look is 'dull'

There's one thing we can probably all agree on - when it comes to things that are firm family favourites, we're creatures of habit and don't like change. That's why it's caused a stir that Quality Street have decided to change their iconic shiny packaging in favour of something a little... well, duller.

But, there's a good reason for ending the 86-year tradition.

The decision hopes to prevent two billion wrappers a year from being thrown into landfill, and consumers will start to notice the change in the coming weeks.
