Brits left fuming at disappointing Cadbury advent calendar filled with Chomps

  1. If you pay £12 for an advent calendar you deserve all the inevitable misery that you’ve got coming to you.

  2. > One fed-up man tweeted: “Day 4 of my Cadbury advent calendar and I’ve had a Chomp for the f****** 4th day in a row.”
    >
    > Another added: “I got my [son] a Cadbury calendar and 9 out of 11 days he gets a s***** Chomp. It is a Cadbury, not a Chomp calender ya tight g*** have a word.”

    Now that’s the spirit of Christmas.

  3. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to buy a 4 pack of chomps, curly wurlys, dairy milks, etc than to buy the advent calendar ?

    Also I can’t quite imagine the mind set to get that angry about chocolate tbh. That’s quite impressive.

  4. The parent moaning that her kid doesn’t like chomps made me laugh. There’s about 1000 options for advent calendars out there and you get your kid one that features a chocolate bar they don’t like???

  5. £10 !! and those tiny chocolates. Do people not check the weight. That’s a good clue as to what you’re getting in chocolate! Better off buying a £4 tub of sweets and putting one sweet in each window of any normal advent calendar!

  6. Chomp, Curly Wurly, and Double Decker are low tier chocolate. I’d be annoyed too, but the I just bought the bog standard £1 Dairy Milk advent calendar to avoid such a situation.

  7. I have this one and, admittedly I’m an adult so able to rationalise things like this but…I honestly didn’t even expect standard sized chocolate in every window and personally I’m glad it isn’t.

    When I was a kid I had advent calendars where it was basically a very wee chocolate star or teddy bear in the window so I just assumed tiny chocolates are normal. Apart from Christmas Eve, you usually get a bigger thing.

    I agree the variety in this one is shite though. And I love Chomps!

  8. I have this and it has been disappointing, the freddo was a surprise but for the first few days it was curly wurlys and chomps.. they may also have added Heroes size Cadbury dairy milk and fudge bars, so why didn’t they just make it have the rest of the heroes line up. I knew I would be getting a couple of chomps but it is the lack of day to day variety I’m annoyed with.

  9. This is hilarious, I got this calendar from work and it’s just full of curly wurlys and fudges. Been complaining to the misses but she doesn’t appreciate it.

  10. Tip for anyone looking for it: a 1kg bag of Lindor on your end of November Subscribe & Save is like £11.

    And then you not only have 24 Lindor, you have 1kg of the fuckers
