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 all Cadbury chocolate is disgusting sickly sweet oily muck.

Betahydroxybutyrate · 03/11/2022 07:54

Ditto Mars in case Celebrations are made by them 😂

Lalliella · 03/11/2022 07:56

Bountys are DH’s favourite! They stop him eating my faves! They should stay, and Snickers, Mars and Milky Way should go!

Long for the eighties when Bounty had a rigid tray and you could nibble off the nice chocolate - ditto Mars bar and I could weep with what happened to the Caramel bar. It was wrapped in foil with long rectangular pieces.

I would pay the price to have those proper size bars back. Even the double kingsize don’t cut it as they are the wrong shape and width.

Its criminal.

LaGioconda · 03/11/2022 07:57

Bountys are definitely the best thing there. I won't be buying if they're removed.

Celebrations aren’t Cadbury’s!

Dragonskin · 03/11/2022 07:58

Ffs, they just keep making celebrations worse!

Brefugee · 03/11/2022 07:59

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

you are so wrong, it is exactly the other way round.

Hooray! Nobody in our house likes bounties, they normally end up in the bin. I’d much rather more of the others although a swap for the Galaxy truffle would definitely be better.

I remember once having so much work to do I went in the office on a Saturday and being grumpy about it, we had a big tin of Celebrations only just opened, I tipped them all out and ate all the Galaxy Truffles! Then I had to fess up to my workmates on the Monday!

Dragonskin · 03/11/2022 08:01

They should get rid of the weird malteser impostor (or put an actual malteser in)

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.

What on earth is the point of that? If you want one, you have to go through all the faff of buying a different tub and then swapping it? Is that really supposed to encourage people to buy them?

Brefugee · 03/11/2022 08:02

Only if you're a psychopath

them's fighting words! Grin
Of course in an ideal world the pair of us would share a tub of celebrations where i get all the bountys, you get all the milky-yuk-ways and we share the rest.

Won't be buying celebrations then! Bounty is the best.

IrmaGord · 03/11/2022 08:06

We've had a couple of boxes of Celebrations this year and no one in our house will eat the Galaxy caramels. They're disgusting. If they'd going to get rid of anything, it should be those.

Brefugee · 03/11/2022 08:06

League table of Celebrations:
maltesers teasers
galaxy
galaxy caramel

bounty
milky way
snickers 🤮

so many wrong 'uns on here (apart from @girlmom21 who is my new bestie)

it is:
galaxy caramel
bounty
snickers
mars
twix
galaxy
maltesers teasers
(long long gap)
milky way

Jimsbooks · 03/11/2022 08:07

Slightly off topic, but I was totally gutted when they took the green pralines out of Roses. I can't eat Celebrations, so the lack of Bounties does not directly affect me. I am sorry for those that are though. Everyone in Gavin and Stacey seemed to think a Bounty is a bit of a disappointment.

PissedOffNeighbour22 · 03/11/2022 08:09

Bounty are one of the nicer chocolates in there. Can't stand the mars bars and the twix & snickers don't even taste like the full size bars.
I struggle to contain my disappointment when I get handed a tub of these every single Christmas 😑

Roses are a massive disappointment alll round now. I used to love the old style box with all the different shapes & wrappings & the lovely mini Dairy Milk bar.

I think you'll all find the correct order is:

milky way
galaxy caramel
galaxy
snickers
mars
malteasers
twix
bounty

Whinge · 03/11/2022 08:10

it is:
galaxy caramel
bounty

Head tilt, are you ok 😂

You seem to have your list a bit backwards. In what universe are Snickers 3rd and malteasers 7th out of 8. 🤯

Brefugee · 03/11/2022 08:15

in my universe, obs Grin

but the good news for all of us is that if we got a box or two between us, we'd all be able to eat our favourites 😍
