While there were a few I'd quite happily never have again, apricot and banana in particular was a consistency that didn't appeal, overall this was a shift from the norm and something really fun for the festive season. Verdict: Having tried this coffee advent calendar last year, I have become a Pact convert and get a regular monthly subscription from them that brightens my days working from home.
