No Bounty in Celebrations tubs this Christmas, Mars Wrigley announces, details inside

Celebrations tubs are a holiday favorite, and you can purchase them without a bounty. Mars Wrigley stated on Thursday (November 3) that the divisive coconut-filled chocolate bar is removed from a limited number of Celebrations tubs.

Tesco has teamed with the startup to test the No Bounty tubs.

Customers may exchange leftover tubs purchased in-store that day for the new No Bounty Celebrations tub at certain Tesco stores displaying the Christmas Market pop-up.


To compensate for the shortage of Bounty chocolates, Snickers, Mars, Galaxy, Milky way, and Maltesers bars will be added to the tubs.

This removal comes after a study indicated that 39% of Britons wanted the chocolate removed entirely from Celebrations tubs, while 18% said they would be angry if they opened a Celebrations tub only to discover Bounty chocolates remaining.

A further 58 percent indicated that seeing only Bounty bars left in a tub would cause a family fight, while 18% said they would avoid romantic engagement with someone who had different chocolate tastes than them.

A quarter of the 2,000 respondents who participated in the poll, aged 18 to 65, said they enjoyed Bounty bars the least of all the Celebrations chocolates, and 28% felt coconut has no place in chocolate.

However, the poll indicated that the Bounty bar is a favorite of 18% of Britons, rising to 38% of those over the age of 55.
