Bounty bars will be removed from some Celebrations boxes in a pre-Christmas trial after a survey suggested thousands of Brits could want the sweets gone for good.
The limited edition tubs will include additional Mars, Snickers, Milky Way, Galaxy and Maltesers sweets to make up for the missing Bounty bars.
Mars Wrigley said the survey also found 18 per cent of Brits would feel irritated to find only Bounty bars left in the box - and 58 per cent said it would cause a family argument. While 39 per cent wanted the bars gone for good, 22 per cent liked Bounty the least of all the tub's options.Over half of those surveyed said it would cause a family argument if only Bounty bars were left in the tub.However, Mars Wrigley said it was not prepared to make a final decision yet after 18 per cent named the Bounty as their favourite.
Polling suggested it was popular with a more mature palate, with 38 per cent of over-55s choosing it as their preferred bar. It follows a Bounty Return Scheme last year, in which Bounty-haters were able to return their unwanted chocolates and swap them for Maltesers after the Christmas period.
