And so, as we approach Christmas we are faced with one of the most delicate dilemmas of the year.

Most of us have navigated our way through Covid. We have come to terms with having a new Prime Minister every month. And we are also getting our heads around a World Cup being played in winter.

But all this pales into insignificance with the biggest conundrum of the lot - the battle of the mini Bounty bar.

Far too many column inches have already been written about Mars Wrigley’s cynical attempt to gain pre-Christmas publicity by expelling the coconut chocolate from its box of Celebrations. But I can’t let it go without adding my own tuppence ha’penny.

The confectioners claim two thirds of their customers fall out when they discover a stash of Bounty bars in the bottom of the tub. So bonkers bosses at the Willy Wonka’s sweet factory are now offering Bounty-free boxes.

Instead, they are selling tubs in Tesco with only Mars, Snickers, Milky Way, Galaxy and Maltesers inside. This is quite clearly racist, or whatever its sweetist equivalent is. In these days of tolerance and understanding, we should be looking for inclusion and welcome our Bounty brothers with open arms. Or should that be mouths?

Having said that, there is a part of me which applauds what rivals Cadbury’s are doing with Quality Street. You can now select your own favourites, although that somewhat defeats the concept of a selection box. But in this case, they have a point.

"In these days of tolerance and understanding, we should be looking for inclusion and welcome our Bounty brothers with open arms..."

Everyone knows the best bits are the long golden sticks of chewy Toffee Finger, closely followed by the Toffee Penny. No one at my house eats the ridiculous red Strawberry Delight or the ‘orrible Orange Creme out of choice. Although strangely, everything is Hoovered up when the Boy Childs come to call.

Perhaps we need a sweet exchange on social media? What about Food Swap?
