Chocolate lovers who don't quite like Bounty bars will be pleased to hear that the coconut-flavoured treats are being removed from Celebrations tubs.
Mars Wrigley is to remove Bounties from its Celebrations boxes in a pre-Christmas trial after finding 39% of consumers want those sweets banished for good. Customers at selected Tesco Christmas Market sites will be able to exchange tubs bought in store that day for a new "No Bounty" alternative until December 18.
The limited edition tubs will include additional Mars, Snickers, Milky Way, Galaxy and Maltesers sweets to make up for the missing Bounty bars. Mars Wrigley said its own research of 2,000 Britons aged between 18 and 65 suggested that 18% would feel irritated to find only Bounty bars were left in the tub, while 58% believed it would lead to a family argument.
