Paul Chuckle demands answers as he spots huge change to Quality Street tin
Paul Chuckle fumed as he opened up a box of Quality Street chocolates to find the family favourite had undergone a huge change - seemingly without anybody noticing.
The 76-year-old comedian took to his Instagram page to share a close-up photo of an open box of Quality Street chocolates after treating himself early this year. He noticed the colour of the wrappers looked less bright and shiny than in previous years and demanded to know what had happened.
"When did @qualitystreetuki lose their shiny wrappers?? [inquisitive face emoji] #dull #qualitystreet #treats," he wrote as the caption. Fans tried to provide some reasons for the change, with one user writing: "Is it not because they are recyclable now? I hope so because I've been putting them in the recycling bin."

Quality Street quickly provided an answer (Youtube)"Naughty! You just couldn't help yourself...opening them before Christmas although they do look rather depressing," one person said while another added: "They look rubbish now, not enticing at all. Just makes me not want to bother with them."
Thankfully, Quality Street came to the rescue and provided an actual answer to Paul's confusion. "The cellulose material we used previously for our Quality Street wrappers is not recyclable," they said. "In line with our commitment to make all our packaging recyclable or reusable by 2025, we have needed to find an alternative that will be recyclable."
Chuckle Brothers' tragedies - hidden cancer and baby girl's heartbreaking death
Last year, TV legend Paul revealed he had a strange encounter with a fan. A fan found themselves at the heart of the confusion when he mixed up the two Chuckle Brothers and claimed Paul Chuckle was dead on Twitter, leading to a bewildered response from the entertainer.
Older brother Barry was the one who died in 2018. A fan responded to a Twitter question of 'What celebrity death was the most unexpected?' and mentioned Paul Chuckle. The entertainer from Rotherham simply retweeted the response with '??' signifying his confused response.
Others who spotted the mix up were quick to joke. One person tweeted: "I'm sure Paul Chuckle was very surprised to hear he's dead." Another wrote: "He's already replied saying "that's news to me... to you". Whilst people stepped in to correct the mistaken fan, one user simply explained: "It's Barry that died, not Paul."
The Chuckle Brothers double act comprised of brothers Barry Elliot and Paul Elliot who found themselves in comedy capers for their BBC children's programme ChuckleVision. The TV show aired from 1987 until 2009, before going on to celebrate its twenty-first anniversary with a tour in 2010.
