Everyone has their favourite chocolate when it comes to Celebrations, but none divides opinion quite like the humble Bounty. The coconut flavoured sweet has an almost Marmite-like effect on people, and to be honest with you, I absolutely hate the bastards and they can all do one. However, if I bought a Celebrations advent calendar I would be prepared for the fact there’s definitely going to be at least a couple of Bountys in there.

But some people have managed to lose their shit over the inclusion of the divisive coco-chocs, after the first two doors both contained a Bounty. And they took to Twitter to voice their anger, even going as far as to say their Christmas was ‘ruined’ by a simple chocolate. One angry calendar owner said: “Was excited to open my advent calendar to start the festivities and I get greeted by a BOUNTY. Way to ruin Christmas, Celebrations. Thanks, I hate it.” These people were in agreement:
Days 1 & 2 of my Celebrations advent calendar were both Bountys. BOUNTYS! 😩🤢 If that’s not an accurate representation of 2019, I don’t know what is. pic.twitter.com/3uNGyr0rtR
Just a heads up, anyone who has a celebrations advent calendar and was disheartened that day 1 was a bounty, well guess what.. i got peckish and went to eat day 2 a few hours early and that’s a cunting bounty too, whole calendar is going in the bin christmas is CANCELLED
Worst start to December ever. Got a Celebrations advent calendar. I was SO buzzing to open it this morning. Day 1 was a chuffin bounty. I feel mugged off. 😭 pic.twitter.com/6iustni6xv
just opened day 1 of my celebrations advent calendar to find a bounty. fuming. opened day 2 to salvage a snack. also a bounty. WHAT SICK FUCKER THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA
However, this enterprising guy decided to take advantage of the situation and set up a ‘Bounty donation centre’ for all the unwanted chocolates. Fair play:
Anyone who doesn't like bounty chocolate from ur celebrations tubs I'm setting up a bounty donation center at my gaff this Christmas and all donations are welcome for ur unwanted bounty chocs 😍🤷♂️😂
Celebrations didn’t shy away from the controversy, taking to Twitter to expertly troll everyone who was complaining about the double Bounty start to the month:
Day three provided a bit of respite from the onslaught of hate, as Celebrations decided to calm down on the trolling and put a Mars in the third door. One Twitter user summed up our feelings on the matter quite nicely: “Oh dear. Why do people buy a celebrations advent calendar and then complain it has a celebrations chocolate in it…” Well played Celebrations, you knew exactly what you were doing when you added the double Bounty to the start of the month…
