The makers of Quality Street have run out of the famous green foil to cover the green triangle sweet.

It's going to be wrapped in gold foil due to a shortage in green foil.

Similarly the orange crunch sweet will be in bronze foil.

Producers say they don't have enough green or orange foil to cover a current production run, but that the chocolates inside are entirely unchanged.

Quality Street's Senior Brand Manager, Jemma Handley, said: "I promise this isn't a publicity stunt.

"We've not added full size chocolate bars to the tin or removed the coconut flavour from a handful of tubs.

"We simply didn't have enough of the right coloured foil to cover the production run of the two sweets in question and, rather than leave them out of the selection altogether, we decided to use different colours for a very limited period."

It's expected this batch will land in shops in Ireland and the UK in the coming weeks.
