Twix - free tea with every pack

Posted by David Hurst in Food!, Rants on October 29th, 2009

This has to be the lamest prize giveaway/competition/inducement to purchase I’ve ever seen. Buy a Twix, get a free cup of tea. What does a cup of tea cost? 3p? If you don’t have milk, it’s even less.

OK, you do get to go and redeem your cuppa at a participating tea shop, and maybe this appeals to some people, but not me. I make my tea perfectly - just the way I like it. It’s not like coffee is it? You can’t make a great cup of coffee without all the kit, so it’s worth going to a coffee shop, but tea? All I need is a good quality tea bag and some boiling water.

Have I missed the point?

Certainly, it’s not making me buy more Twix.
