Ok mini magnums are off. Gawd I love them. The Aldi and Lidl one don’t do it

Tesco,do a dead nice ice cream on a stick with almonds and stuff but only bigger ones. They were very good

(Although it’s unlikely that their Food brands or Home Care brands have any idea what their Personal Care brands are doing)

@VaggieMight

Nothing wrong with trans representation in sport, but in the correct sex category.

I wonder if Dove celebrated the other trans Olympians, or is it just LH they're celebrating.

I'm sure that Dove have been cheering on every single trans man who has taken part. Every one of them.

If you're struggling to find Dove's tweets supporting the trans men at the Olympics, don't worry. There weren't any. Now why didn't any qualify?

Unilever own a lot of brands:

“Women’s sports are NOT a retirement plan”

Favourite so far.

Laughed unkindly at Lardy Cupboard on that twitter thread.

Unilever own the Magnum brand I believe, littlebrowndog.

@nzborn - the relevant address should be on the product. Although I’d suggest calling the customer number will have more of an impact.

@AfternoonToffee
Bahahahaha!! Just woke up small child sniggering at that lifting comment! 😂

MummBraTheEverLeaking · 02/08/2021 22:34

🙄 grrrr, we use the Baby Dove head to toe for DD. Johnsons we didn't like, Aveeno doesn't lather well and takes a bloody age to rinse out.

Any recommendations for a kids hair/body wash that doesn't celebrate women being kicked out of their own sports for males welcome!!

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 02/08/2021 22:33

Dove have always been supporters of women

and sometimes you wear l’air du temps BUT NOT TODAY.

BoreOfWhabylon · 02/08/2021 22:32

Or elsewhere if Amazon is a no-go!

icantlivewithouttea · 02/08/2021 22:32

One of my favourite independent skincare brands has just posted a post on Instagram to celebrate LBGTQ inclusion at the Olympics. I was very disappointed to see LH among the mentions. I can see nothing to celebrate in the exclusion of a female athlete to make way for a male bodied cheat. Angry

Lovely french and italian soaps on Amazon!

littlbrowndog · 02/08/2021 22:29

It’s a roll on. I don5 like the sprays

littlbrowndog · 02/08/2021 22:29

The lacura active from Aldi. It’s dead good and cheap. They do several differen5 smells

@Antinerak

Dove have always been supporters of women and women's charities, how good of them. I'm sure they'll really really miss the customers who flounce away from their products.
I'm pretty sure that Amazon doesn't miss my custom, but I am happy in the knowledge that they don't get any of my money. Sometimes it is just a personal decision to make.

You go ahead and furnish your bathroom with Dove products bought from Amazon that's your decision to make.

It isnt a flounce not to want to give hard earned money to a company putting political statements before its customers.

Purchasing from a specific brand is a choice. I'm pro-choice.

Jeez I love mini magnums. But they can fuck off

But before they can fuck off what did the mini magnums do 🤞🙏

AfternoonToffee · 02/08/2021 22:23

@N4ish

Aw no! Won’t miss Dove products at all but so sad to say goodbye to mini magnums :(
Aldi do a reasonable copy.

@KittenKong

But in today’s ‘good news’... the ‘vagina’ museum isn’t getting its lease renewed (ahhhhhh) and they can’t find an alternative ‘suitable’ space up in Camden. It’s going to be (yet another) clothes store (for teen tourists to but overpriced knackered old stinky second hand duds).

I guess their target market didn’t step up and fill the gap of the women they hacked off. Sales and marketing 101 - don’t alienate your target and don’t tell honking porkie pies.

Seen that. Might off sniggered at that bunch getting the 👞
