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.

Yanbu. I'm not given to hyperbole, but this is a national disgrace!

DrManhattan · 03/11/2022 08:17

They will be replaced by something that is cheaper to manufacturer and source. The price will remain the same.

Then and snickers are the only reason I don’t eat the whole tub to myself 😬

Roselilly36 · 03/11/2022 08:20

Bounty is my fave! Celebrations no more in this home, if they ditch these little gems from paradise

Munchyseeds2 · 03/11/2022 08:20

I like bounty, I love a plain chocolate bounty (when I can get one)
Wish I could buy plain choc mini ones

Snugglemonkey · 03/11/2022 08:21

Bounty is not my favourite one, but I do like them. It just takes ages to get through them because I am a savoury fiend and only get the odd notion for something sweet. I do love milky way ones though. Leave them alone!

VictoriaWoodwasfab · 03/11/2022 08:22

YABU But then celebrations/ heroes are now ALL utterly disgusting slimy sugary palm oil concoctions these days.

Treat yourself this Christmas and spend a bit more on some decent chocolate treats!

reigatecastle · 03/11/2022 08:26

I don't like Bountys so this is good news for me!

But the only really nice ones in Celebrations are the Malteser ones. I prefer Heroes.

LynneBenfield · 03/11/2022 08:27

Bounty is the best. They are the first to go in my house, we all like them.

Picklewicklepickle · 03/11/2022 08:28

RIP Galaxy Truffles

I love a Bounty bar but the Celebration ones are shit because the ratio of coconut is too small, makes them too dry. Actually all Celebrations are shit these days, taste like wax, as do Quality Street and particularly Roses 😞

FlickyCrumble · 03/11/2022 08:29

Lidl make better versions of bounty. This is what we’re having as our Christmas choc. Also they do great Turkish delight in large bars.

Enko · 03/11/2022 08:30

I love milky way. Maltesers r Mars can go as far as I am.concerned

I like bounty

Why do I never see these votes

Babyroobs · 03/11/2022 08:30

I'm shocked and upset that bounty's have gone, they are my favourites. Mars should have gone, too sickly and sweet.

MayISuggestSomeThickCutSteakChipsToGoWithThat · 03/11/2022 08:31

YANBU!!

Thatsshallot1967 · 03/11/2022 08:33

My DD got two tubs for her birthday this week and I got the lot as she hates them, as so does DS and DH. I wouldn't get any in future if they did that. Maybe there's a silver lining though and they'll increase the number of Malteser ones or the Galaxy chocs?

PuppyMonkey · 03/11/2022 08:36

Celebrations are the worst of all the chocolate tins imho, I wouldn’t be arsed if they axed the whole brand. Quality Street all the way.Grin

oldstudentmum · 03/11/2022 08:36

Yeah get rid !!!!! Bring back galaxy truffles!!!

BellePeppa · 03/11/2022 08:37

The milky ways are my favourite! The bountys are my least favourite.

muchprefersummer · 03/11/2022 08:57

I love Bounty. If they get rid of them - I won't get a look in any of the other ones. I only manage to eat the Bounty's cause no one else likes them!

Dotjones · 03/11/2022 08:58

Fantastic news, good riddance to the Bounty! Just need to get the Fudge out of Cadbury's Heroes and Xmas will be sorted.

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.

Oh yes, I loved that mini Dairy Milk bar too and they were always in short supply so it felt like a real find if you got one.

I remember my Mum's catalogue used to see these mini dispensers full of those little bars and you had to put in a penny to get one out. I always wanted one but my Mum said it wasn't worth the money!

Back on topic: I am one of the 61% who likes the Bounty. Possibly my favourite. What is wrong with people?

ApolloandDaphne · 03/11/2022 08:58

I hate the bounty ones. The Mars bar and snickers ones are my favourites.

RockingMyFiftiesNot · 03/11/2022 09:06

That makes no sense - it means that 61% do like them. Why not just reduce the amount of Bounties rather than remove altogether?. Everyone has their favourites and ones they don't like, tends to work out across a group. And I am very happy to scoop up the leftover bounties if not!

Roselilly36 · 03/11/2022 11:37

All this talk of bounty bars, is making me really want one now 😂
