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.

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

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.

No such thing as bad publicity, as they say.
