What advent calendar did you choose this year? Whether it was Cadbury, Kinder Bueno or Lindt, supermarkets have had so many to choose from.

But shoppers who have been eagerly waiting to open the doors on their Celebrations advent calendar throughout the first few days of December have been left “fuming”.

Taking to social media, many have complained they found Bounty chocolates behind the doors of December 1, 2 and 3.

For some, the coconut milk chocolates are often classed as an “unpopular” sweet treat, compared to the likes of Mars, Maltesers and Galaxy.
