Whopping 60% of readers pick Bounty as their No 1 Celebrations sweet

A staggering 60 percent of Express.co.uk readers picked the Bounty bar as their favourite Celebrations chocolate. It comes after Mars Wrigley announced it would be removing the coconut-based sweet from some of its tubs. A survey carried out by the chocolate manufacturer found that almost 40 percent of people hate the chocolate.Last year, the brand made the surprising move to allow shoppers to return unwanted Bounties.It asked 2,000 people aged between 18 and 65, and found that 18 percent would feel irritated to find only Bounty bars left in a tub, while 58 percent thought it would lead to a family argument.However, according to the survey, some 18 percent of people still rated it as their favourite chocolate.Now, a limited run of “No Bounty” tubs will go on sale at 40 Tesco stores in the run-up to Christmas.
