To think encouraging people to send chocolate secretly is not a good idea?

So Cadbury do this thing where you can send chocolate anonymously to someone. AIBU to think this is not something to be encouraged? I'd be disturbed receiving unexpected chocolate to my home address.

You do realise that if someone knows your address, they can (and have always been able to) send you anything anonymously, at any time?

This isn't something that has only been made possible by Cadbury's. Anyone can put some chocolate in a jiffy bag and post it to you anonymously any time they like. Cadbury's haven't enabled anyone to do anything they couldn't already do before.

You’re right. Cadbury’s is awful now. If it were Tony’s …

It's a marketing campaign, not a siege. I think we'll all be okay

...why? Genuinely, why would you find it disturbing to receive chocolate? Do you have a history with someone stalking you?

Like if you don't want the chocolate fair enough, bin it, but in what way is it disturbing?

I'd be delighted with proper free chocolate, Cadbury's not so much as it's palm oil filled shite.

There are many more creepy things that people might choose to do.

I’d be over the moon if this happened to me 😁

Would you freak out if someome knocked your door too.

No because it wouldn't be anonymous

The vast majority of people will take this as intended. I really wouldn’t worry about it.
