Bountys out of Celebrations!

Just heard that Bounty bars are to be removed from tubs of Celebrations after 39% of people asked said they didn't like them.
I'm disappointed as they're one of my favourites & Milky Way should definitely have gone instead!
Not sure if they're being replaced with something else but AIBU to say they are not the worst chocolate in the tub?
YANBU- they're lovely & should stay.
YABU- no place for the taste of paradise any more.

YABU! Bounty's are the worst and milky ways are the best.

Hobbesmanc · 03/11/2022 06:58

Everyone knows Maltesers are the best. But I'm a Bounty fan. Mars bars to go.

I love them but the one I had out of a box yesterday was horrible! It felt like desiccated coconut but did not taste like it. So, quite frankly, the hideous imposters can sod off.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 03/11/2022 06:59

YANBU. The big bounty bars have too much coconut filling in proportion to the chocolate, but the tiny ones are just right.

Foxfeeder · 03/11/2022 06:59

Bounty’s are my favourite!

mum11970 · 03/11/2022 06:59

Absolutely love a Bounty, they’re my first choice in Celebrations tins.

oopsfellover · 03/11/2022 06:59

YANBU. Bounties are lovely. And there’s room for all chocolates in the tin. Embrace diversity.

It's just a limited edition that you can get from selected Tesco stores. You can't even buy them you have to swap an existing tub.

No drama.

pastabakeonaplate · 03/11/2022 07:02

What are they putting instead? Just taking them out and giving you less for your money?

AnImaginaryCat · 03/11/2022 07:04

Panic no. They are trial boxes and there's a limited number of these evil Bounty-less boxes.

I mean if there was no Bounty there would be nothing for me to fight with my nephew over!!

WhiteRabbitCandy · 03/11/2022 07:05

DD will be gutted she loves a bounty!

CherryLongIsland · 03/11/2022 07:05

Celebrations were bad enough recently without the removal of Bounty's. They should never have got rid of the galaxy truffle.
Hero's are dreadful now too.

sellthesizzle · 03/11/2022 07:05

YANBU - I LOVE bounties! How disappointing that they're taking them out ☹️

WhoWants2Know · 03/11/2022 07:06

I love a bounty

KangarooKenny · 03/11/2022 07:06

I always pick the Bounty out first, love them.

illiterato · 03/11/2022 07:06

Country’s going to the dogs! But thanks for saving me the pain of buying Celebrations and then being disappointed.

Apparently the limited edition tubs will include additional Mars, Snickers, Milky Way, Galaxy and Maltesers sweets to make up for the missing bars.

JE17 · 03/11/2022 07:08

YANBU, I’d be happy to see the back of Milky Way too. I’m also campaigning for the return of the long gone but never forgotten Galaxy Truffle which was my favourite.

I read the other day quality street have 20 less sweets in them today than in 09. Npt suprised, recently opened 1 of the containers and it was half empty looking.

SocksAndTheCity · 03/11/2022 07:09

Maybe they could do a special tin of just tiny Bountys with the red/dark chocolate ones in too. I could make my way through a few of those.

RainbowsMoonbeams · 03/11/2022 07:09

Sounds like an excuse to put less chocolates in again to me! The sizes of the boxes get smaller each year it seems.

Bounty’s don’t offend me.

they cut that because of costs. The topic was the worst addition and buntys are rotten too. Celebrations are shit these days-fill of mars and snickers.

Whinge · 03/11/2022 07:11

I'm surprised they haven't made the containers smaller. It would help them look fuller as like you say when you open them it's mostly empty space.

HalfWower · 03/11/2022 07:13

My dog got hold of a tub of celebrations one Christmas and ate them all...except the bountys. True!

PuckleP · 03/11/2022 07:15

While we're talking about Bountys, why can't I buy the dark chocolate o e anymore. None in any shops near me 😭
