To think that Cadbury’s have way missed the memo?

[chainofevents]

Just seen an advert for the new Cadbury’s buttons treat box thing - think they’re called Treasures?

Plastic box. Two big compartments. Shite plastic toy. About four buttons.

Have Cadbury’s missed the cutting-down-on-plastic memo? What’s wrong with a bag?!? And why the need for an additional treat when you’re already giving buttons (or a Freddo)

Am I a miserable bitch, or is this just ridiculous?

Is the plastic pot recyclable?

Just saw a TV add for it!

Agree, ridiculous

Honestly? I think you’re being miserable. We can’t just never use plastic again.

What’s wrong with a bag?!?

But bags are plastic too?

Op I’m with you, this is the type of thing that should just be banned!

I thought exactly the same OP. Ridiculous.
Kids do not need more plastic crap. It will not get recycled, it'll go into landfill.

I did some market research on something similar but it was a fredo yoghurt/moose and a toy.
I think it's trying to be the new kinder surprise.

Very true, the pot (and plastic crap toy) may be recyclable, but will it be recycled at the park, or just popped in the bin when clearing up?

Also, should the chocolate not be the treat in itself (on a diet, chocolate buttons are my weakness - appreciate this is likely to be me being highly miserable)

And, well, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it...? are button sales slowing THAT MUCH cos they're in a bag? 🤔 or is it cos the chocolate is now shite?

I agree entirely, OP.

Totally agree OP.

They missed the memo by making them freddos treasures and then putting in buttons and not freddo heads!

Hmm I kind of want one now...

Also it is the attitude that the "suprise toy" is being bought for the sake of buying something. It'll be a surprise far all of thirty seconds. Unlikely that it will be a toy that is enjoyed for long or treasured.

If you want chocolate, then fine to buy chocolate. If you want a specific toy, fine to buy it. But this encourages buying for no reason other than to satisfy a kid's need to be bought stuff.

They missed the memo when they changed the Dairy Milk recipe.

We can’t just never use plastic again

Well, we could at least try to stop producing pointless plastic tat.

How is it different to a Kinder egg? No-one complains about those.

I do love a button but why call them freddos when they are buttons and yes another plastic piece of shit to get rid of. Also the advert where the dad lobs himself off the kids climbing frame closely followed by his child is pretty dangerous too.

I do twosoups, not nearly enough chocolate in a Kinder Egg to satisfy my current salad-ravaged state 🥴

To be fair that probably is recyclable while the bags are not.

So, what is is is plastic, more plastic, palm oil and sugar.

Perfect.

Recycle is the last option.

First reduce, then reuse. Very much missed the memo

I agree totally, if they wanted a chest shape why didn’t they use an egg box type material...

My heart sank when I saw the advert too OP!

I agree. I also love a good kinder egg but cba with the toys. I know you can get the kinder chocolate bars which are lovely but the thin chocolate egg beats all. I'd love if they just did the eggs on their own
