Fantastic marketing by Mars in getting major news headlines for removing Bounty from Celebrations choc boxes.

Turns out they're doing almost nothing - 2000 special edition Bounty-free tins only in a handful of Tescos.

But they've got the masses talking and arguing about it. Genius.

I've never understood why people seem to dislike them so much (compared to the other choices in the tin).

More for me to hoover up though when that's all that is left.

PS Why don't they try putting in the dark chocolate version rather than the milk? Even better.

I hate them, although not enough to make a special trip to Tesco for a Bounty free box.

Oddly I like coconut in things - coconut milk in Thai curry, but I really hate the texture, and the fact that coconuts squeek like a dentist's drill when you chew it.

I hate them too, all bitty and foul tasting as well

Argh sorry, I'm propagating the marketing-manufactured fake argument.

No such thing as bad publicity, as they say.

I suspect Rolf Harris would disagree.
