Christmas cakes, pies, puddings, chocolates, and other treats have started appearing in supermarkets, signalling that Christmas is getting closer and closer.
Among these holiday odds and ends are the classic Christmas bon bons. These colourful tubes surely do bring back memories of celebrations spent with loved ones!
However, one Woolworths shopper was in for a shock when they decided to take a closer look at the $15 bon bon they spotted in the store.
He expressed his confusion on social media when he saw a metal spring, a piece of string, a bulldog clip and a keyring included in the 'Deluxe' Christmas Bon Bons.
'I'm in Woolworths in the middle of November, a couple of months before Christmas. I get that, right,’ he said in the video.
'These bon bons are for sale, and you get to see what’s in them by looking at the back.’
‘Let me show you what’s in these bon bons, right. There’s a spring with a paperclip, there’s what I presume is a bookmark.’
‘I have no idea what that is, I think it’s a piece of string. A padlock, if you need a padlock.’
‘Like it’s Christmas morning, and you pull your cracker, and you get tweezers.’
‘I get this one, it’s a keyring. And equally, that’s a bottle opener.’
‘But this is literally one of the prizes—a bulldog clip is one of the prizes.'
He picked up the box and repeated, ‘In one of these is a bulldog clip.’
Watch the video below:
Several online users were shocked by the contents of the 'Deluxe' Bon Bons.
One commented, ‘Sounds like they raided the junk drawer for that stuff.’
‘Gotta get rid of their excess office stock somehow,’ another said.
‘What’s next, Q tips and banana peels? This is one step above trash,’ a third said.
Another wrote, ‘It’s like the factory forgot to buy little toys to put in there, so they just used office supplies.’
This isn’t the first time Woolworths received backlash with its preparations for the holiday season.
In a previous story, several Everyday Rewards members were disappointed when a certain feature was not appearing in their Everyday Rewards app. Read more about it here.
