If you pay £12 for an advent calendar you deserve all the inevitable misery that you’ve got coming to you.
I’m waiting for the story about the lucky cunt who 24 curlywurlys
Literally indistinguishable from NewsThump at this point.
I’m impressed anybody was able to complain after 4 Chomp bars
> 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.
The way the economy is going if it was filled with Fredos the calendar would cost about £200
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.
why would anyone fume at chomps? Chomps are sick cuz.
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???
I have a Toblerone calender and I’m very happy with it.
£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!
My son has this calendar and made exactly the same complaint last night! I only paid a fiver for it though.
Tbf…. 10 quid is not a lot to expect huge amounts of the best treats.
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.
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!
I quite like a Chomp but fuck me the chocolate coating doesn’t half get everywhere.
Mondelez went to shit years ago. Buy shit, get shit.
I needed this laugh today, brilliant! Chomp is such a satisfying word.
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.
I read this as “Boris left fuming…”, had an amusing – but reasonable – image in my head.
The British public being taken for a pile of Chomps once again, I see.
And don’t forget the Halloween selection bags that had one flake if you were lucky!
I’m happy that there’s nothing worse going on in the world for us to be upset with.
I agree, its nothing but champs or fudge. Think I’ve had 2 dairy milks
The Chomps aren’t that bad. The other half of the calendar that’s Fudges can do one though!
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.
Cadbury’s chocolate has gone to shit since the American buyout. Friggin’ bollocks.
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
I think Brits are fuming more about their government filled with chimps
It’s an artistic statement on capitalism. Anyone who buys it must be a chomp 😉
