Mutiny In The Making?

The owner of Celebrations boxes has chosen to roll out Bounty free tubs ahead of Christmas, and you’ll be able to exchange normal tubs for free.

Mars Wrigley has announced special tubs of the chocolates will be available at select Tesco stores in the run-up to Christmas.

Revellers who don’t care for the smooth coconut and chocolate delicacies can exchange normal tubs purchased in stores with Bounty-free ones for free, from November 8.

It comes as more than a third of Britons have admitted they don’t want Bounties in their festive red tubs.

Customers will be able to get their hands on the boxes at 40 special Christmas Market pop-ups in Tescos around the country.

For these limited edition tubs, additional Mars, Snickers, Milky Way, Galaxy and the all-time favourites, Maltesers, will be added in place of the banned Bounty bars.

Tesco Christmas Market is a pop-up roadshow, starting in Manchester on Tuesday, December 8 and making its way down the country, closing on December 18 at Gallions Reach Extra in London.

Customers who can’t make it to those places can enter a competition on Tesco’s website to win a Bounty free tub.

It comes as Mars Wrigley debuted the Bounty Return Scheme in 2021, where customers could exchange unwanted chocolates for Maltesers after the festive period.

Emily Owen, Mars Wrigley’s head of Celebrations Festive Cheer, said that Christmas was the time for giving, but it appears this year, the British public is keen for them to take away Bounty.

She said that last year, they gave customers the opportunity to return their unwanted Bounty chocolates and that now, off the back of public demand, they’re trialling taking them out of the tub completely, and she said that you don’t know what you’ve got until its gone, and to those loyal and secret Bounty lovers out there, there’s still a possibility they’ll make a return after the trial.

The problem with chocolates is that some people like some but not others, and then they’re other people that just can’t eat them because of allergies, but isn’t this just pure wokery?
