Am I the only one who didn't have a clue what a pomp bear was before today?

Well I've bought two 6 packs in the past couple of weeks so I've helped out Grin

Good for the economy as well.

Also, its about time the grinning icon got their braces off, don't you think? They've had them absolutely forever, and now with Invisalign and all that, it seems unnecessary...

Seriously though, the Brand Manager for pombears must be seriously bewildered - probably wetting his/her knickers/pants with delight. I can imagine it's a bit of a dog of a brand.

Yeah they're not very rock and roll.

Can't afford Gary Lineker for their ad campaign.

Well, couldn't. Now they can have anyone - Kate Middleton?

The site was a little slow. Maybe we aren't the only ones....

I have a photo of a Bear relaxing on a sunlounger Grin my friend and I had a fondness for pom bears when we went to Majorca about 7 years ago. They were almost too cute to eat!

I have bought them for the kids before but end up eating most of them myself, they're addictive...

DH reckoned the entire original thread was a 'viral marketing campaign' for Pombears.

He is a cynical thing.

I bought a six-pack yesterday, but that was mostly a DD-led initiative.

Wouldn't it be great if the Pombear equivalent of OcadoAnnie were to come on here and chat. Something like Pombear Pam.

I'm starting to think we may need a separate bear section for all these threads. A bit like the royals...
