BOF Posted November 3, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 3, 2022 Mars Wrigley are removing the Bounty from boxes of Celebrations in a UK trial because 39% of people wanted them gone. Now I'm no mathematologist but doesn't that **** mean 61% wanted them in? I guess they factored in the publicity it would all get, and that that would cover their ad cost for Christmas and put Celebrations front and centre. The decision being based on a minority still pisses me off though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTR Bounty's are horrible 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Bounty is my favourite. They should get rid of mars, to this day I’ve never understood how anyone can like a mars bar. Disgusting things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted November 3, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 3, 2022 It seems Mars will be making "No Bounty" boxes available in some Tescos. So it's not a blanket removal. Also we're unaffected. That was another worry. Sometimes you do something and we get affected as collateral. They've said we won't this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decision being based on a minority still pisses me off though. They factored in the publicity? That's the only **** reason they did it and all the 'sensible' news organisations **** fall for for it. Now THAT pisses me off. Saw another one yesterday; an obvious typo on a massive billboard. It's a campaign for an internationally recognised snack food brand. Of course everyone producing noticed it. It was deliberate. Then come the online articles 'such and such brand' embarrassed as typo slips through etc. It's deliberate to make things go 'viral'. And it pisses me off that the media will **** lap it up, not because it's news, or even newsworthy, but because it'll generate clicks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
