My instant reaction to the email flyer was disgust.

I fear I am turning into Mary Whitehouse

I think you should be more disgusted.

This promotion is only because the kids are on half term next week.

Wilco's boardroom says 'lets fatten the kids up with a large dose of sugar and additives this week'.;)

What a load of Mary Whitehouses.
All in moderation I say so I shall be stocking up on cherry cola bottles this weekend with a smile.

I would guess (I work in the grocery industry & spent 9 years in confec) that Wilko see a spike in sales over school hols but perhaps the pick & Mix rate of sale doesn't go up as much as the rest of their confectionery.


The category managers would pick up on this and look to address it. Perhaps it's seen as potentially lower quality than elsewhere due to it being Wilko branded so they've put on a promotion to drive trial and convince people that theirs is as good as anyone else's therefore encouraging repeat purchase and fixing the under-trade issue going forwards.

Wilko's Pic'n'Mix is Candy King brand so its not completely unbranded. They just charge less for it that cinemas do!

I don't get why some people are being so snobby about it, there are no articificial flavours or colours in Candy King sweets. Yes, they are almost pure sugar but what sweets aren't!

Yes can confirm that cinema pick and mix is Candy King.

Never eat them whilst I worked there, too many horror stories.:eek:

Also Wilcos pick and mix price reduction does effect my local cinema sales as it's in the same shopping centre.
