ARO thread 3

[Thedom]

Couldn't resist opening it with this from the last thread 😁

I just saw that. What is she selling with those pictures?

That is amazing, can't believe how many people from US are donating to a small UK charity.

The comments reflect why H&M are repeatedly voted the most unpopular members of the Royal Family, or just unpopular in general.

I expected the donations to have peaked long before now.

And if could have been so different . As has been said before , there was a lot of goodwill towards towards them ……..

The Trussell Trust can do so much with this. It's amazing.

Is there a link for the UK charity one? Can't find it anymore.

Here you go.

This is the link via the “ARO UK” site
If you want to read the story behind the just giving page

Ha! The automatic link thing got me. I was trying to link to the ARO uk page. The original link is on the previous thread near the beginning

Thanks @smilesy @EmpressOfTheThread. Some great messages.

Nearly everything on the Highgrove Savouries and Preserves page is showing as sold out! Chutney and damson jelly don't seem to be popular, and there's still some Transylvanian honey available.

Header at the top of the page says "DUE TO EXCEPTIONAL DEMAND, DELIVERIES ARE TAKING SLIGHTLY LONGER THAN NORMAL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.".

😄😄😄😄😄

So funny!

@Abouttimeforanamechange That’s great 😀

😊

If ARO is really planning to sell jam for $30, it’s going to start a new wave of ridicule when Highgrove jam is only a fraction of the price. She should have launched the price at the same time as the influencer baskets so there was only one wave of ridicule.

I just checked the Waitrose website and Duchy organic jam is £2.80.

Highgrove is not her competition, that would be flamingo estate where $30 a jar is extremely low they’re in the region of 80 for a jar of honey

It might not have been her intended competition, but, inadvertently, that is who she is currently being compared to. Part of the problem with ARO is that the target audience is unclear, so punters are drawing their own conclusions 🤷‍♀️

Tiffany Haddish’s honey is going for $250 but it looks like 100% of the proceeds go to charity

Sorry, I forgot to add the photo!

How many of the fifty jars of jam have surfaced on social media? Someone must be keeping count.

Many thanks to the pp who posted a link to Trussell Trust/ARO just giving, I've given a little.
So funny! I really hope it grows and grows to a substantial fundraiser.
If I was H&M, I'd make a sizeable public donation and laugh it off, which might win back some support. But then I'd also be linking my own product launch to a local charitable cause.
Doubt that will happen though!🤷‍♂️

The comments on the Just Giving page are great but the prize goes to
'What a jammy move'! 🤣

Why, thank you!😂🤭

The Sussex Squad have got themselves very worked up about it all……this post would be funny if it wasn’t targeting and bullying a charity.

Good luck with that Sewer Squad 🤣
