Forget all your Brexit nonsense, whether migrants will steal your roast dinner or if Matt Hancock will be forced (hopefully) to eat testicles everyday whilst in the jungle, it turns out that 40% of you hate Bounty chocolate bars and worse still is the woke snowflakes at Mars are considering giving in to this vocal minority by considering trialing Celebrations without them!

Bounty bars removed from Celebrations tubs in trial https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63497187

Before riots break out and we descend into civil war over this, should Mars give in to the clearly deranged minority who don’t like Bounties? Should we be gluing ourselves to newsagents in protest? Should Matt Hancock be force fed kangaroo testicles?

Only ones I like

Jesus why can't things be left as they are.

Need to go back a few decades too to get the tubs back to the size they were.

Removed from some promotional boxes crucially. As the article points out it’s pretty genius marketing as clearly people are talking about it!

Bounty are the worst in the tub. Would be pleased to have any other choccy as a substitute

But getting about 200g of chocolate in about a cubic foot of plastic packaging is the most objectionable thing about the seasonal barrels of sweeties.

Nice they dress it up like its by popular demand. Coconut must be the only real thing the put in. Must cost more to source.
Everything else is some sort of goo. A machine can spaff out any sort of goo you want pretty cheap.
And a bit of social media engineering will convice people its what they wanted. Like brexit and high energy costs.
Brexit is like the goo lol.
Personally I prefer the full size bounty . The brainwashing wont work on me but I may forget and buy a tub one day by accident.

As a coconut fan, I dislike bounty.

Over-done ‘coconut’ flavour but without any of the goodness, subtlety, quality, etc.

What’s not to dislike?


Now if they actually used coconut fat in the chocolate, and coconut fat in the filling, and so on?

It's always the bounties which are left at the bottom of the tub. Great idea if you ask me!

I heard on the radio this morning that only 39% of people surveyed wanted the Bounty's removed.

We all know the planet is over populated so why not just remove the 39% from the population?

In the US they call bounty bars 'Mounds' they are fking horrific, don't ever try them!

They aren't my favourite but they have a different taste so make a break from the other ones.

I'm sure it's some sort of "ism" removing the only chocolate with a white centre from the selection!!!!
