Bountys out of Celebrations!

Allschoolsareartschools · 03/11/2022 06:56

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.

Everyone hates them at work.

Which meant I could eat them.

It is most unfair. 😖

Milky ways are the only ones that no-one in our house will eat. Yanbu

I don't understand why they would get rid of something that 61% of people said they liked, just sounds like a ridiculous marketing ploy to me.

It's one with potential to backfire.

People get fed up with things being changed, and once fed up just buy other stuff. Even if the change doesn't happen, it dents the brand.

Look how Quality Street have declined, because they made too many changes

Ah no, I love Bounty bars!

DazzleRazzles · 03/11/2022 20:53

39% didn’t say they didn’t like them

They were ranked, 39% said they were the least facourite, they also scored poorly across the remainder of the cohort asked

61% didn’t say they liked them

The chocolates were RANKED

39% put them as the LEAST favourite

That doesn’t mean they were the top for the remainder

Goodness me, I’m glad statistics is back being taught for all at school these days, such ignorance around data analysis

NotMyselfWithoutCoffee · 03/11/2022 20:59

1 Malteasers
2 Bounty
3 Everything else except Mars, Twix and Milky-way can all fuck right off. 😂

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.

Galaxy Truffle was lovely!

I love a Bounty though - I eat them first

QueenoftheNimbleFlyingCat · 03/11/2022 21:03

No this is completely unacceptable if true. They are my favourites and I love that everyone hates them because it means I can eat them ALL.

Indeed. It is a wonderful first subject for a lesson.

At least 98% would recognise how condescending that post was….

@5foot5 I had one of those - it was fantastic. My Nan knew someone who used to work at Cadburys so I got refills for years.

Lovely memories for me

YABU for having Celebrations when you could just buy lots of Heros.

Heroes have my top two of the mini-chocolate bar tubs - the Creme Eggs and Crunchie.
If they would just ditch out all the Eclairs from the Heroes tubs and replace them with Maltesers (putting the rejected Eclairs into the yukky Celebrations box) - my Christmas would be complete.

I hate Heroes aside from Eclairs - we
Could work a swap?

A late very clever chemist relative of mine worked at Mars uk in the 50s & invented Bounty... my claim to fame!!

SommerTen · 03/11/2022 21:28

He also either invented the 50s uk version of Galaxy or contributed to it. He invented Topic bars (which I vaguely remember).

Nobody cares

Reminds me of the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special where Nessa gave everyone a Celebrations sweet each as their presents, and they all commiserated with Gwen for getting a Bounty 🤣

Wow you lucky thing! 😋

RedDiamond · 03/11/2022 21:46

I have just given away all my Milky Ways from my tin.

Milky Ways were the poor man's Mars Bars.

There is no flavour or substance to a Milky Way. They have always been the cheapest sweet so WHY would suppliers fill their tins with them? Answers on a a postcard please.

SommerTen · 03/11/2022 21:52

I care!!

Yes but you’re confusing an open forum with your personal diary

Oh @DazzleRazzles it's a lighthearted thread about chocolate.
Calm down or sod off eh?

They should get together with Cadburys and make an ultimate tub with just Galaxy's, Maltesers, Wispa's and Twirls in it 😋

Allschoolsareartschools · 03/11/2022 23:38

And Bountys @Boombaker?
Love Twirls & Wispa...
