This year’s Celebrations advent calendar has already gone down like a sack of potatoes after people were devastated to find Bounty chocolates behind doors one and two.
And when we say devastated, we mean the-end-is-nigh devastation.
We all know Bounty is an unpopular choice, of course – and a similar reaction happened last year when the calendar started with a Bounty chocolate, but was swiftly followed by a Snickers.
Barney Leigh took to
Twitter to share the sad news about this year’s calendar. “If that’s not an accurate representation of 2019, I don’t know what is,” he tweeted, alongside a photo of his findings.Days 1 & 2 of my Celebrations advent calendar were both Bountys. BOUNTYS! 😩🤢 If that’s not an accurate representation of 2019, I don’t know what is. pic.twitter.com/3uNGyr0rtR— Barney Leigh (@barneyleigh) December 2, 2019Some were more riled up than others. “Who is the troll at Celebrations starting the month with TWO BOUNTYS?” an utterly outraged Natalie Kempston asked.This advent calendar could not have started any worse!!

Just a heads up, anyone who has a celebrations advent calendar and was disheartened that day 1 was a bounty, well guess what.. i got peckish and went to eat day 2 a few hours early and that’s a cunting bounty too, whole calendar is going in the bin
