In this tub, there were seven Toffee Fingers and five Toffee Pennies - accounting for around 18% of the chocolates.

A spokesperson for Nestle said: "We balance our Quality Street selection by grouping the sweets into three categories that we know our consumers love: Fruits; Toffees and Fudge; and Nuts, Chocolates and Caramels, with each making up roughly one third of the total.

To settle the impending disputes and with my 14-year-old and six-year-old nephew and niece helping me, I decided to see how many chocolates were in each of the four big tins - and which flavours are the most and least found in each one.
