Free McCains chips- Feb & March

So join us in giving chips the credit they deserve and appreciate them just as you would a fine wine or classic cheese.
McCain is taking to the road with a nationwide tasting masterclass. Just look out for the Home Fries tasting marquee at your local supermarket throughout February and March.

  • Absolutely no offence intended to the OP, but 'nationwide'?! Not one in Scotland as far as I can see, nationwide in England maybe, but as per usual, sc**w the dumb jocks. Thanks McCain, one customer lost.
    If your scottish boycot McCain, if they don't need to come up here to give demonstrations then they obviously don't need our custom.

    If you send a polite 'Disappointed' email and include your name and address, there's a good chance they'll send a voucher through the post.

    Thanks very much, but my dates are all end of Feb. Oh well, fattening anyway (that's what I'm telling myself to stop being upset about missing out again)!!
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

    I boycotted Heinz products after a similar Nationwide ( English ) taste tour a while back , turned out for the good as I now buy HP beans which are cheaper and nicer tasting IMO.

    i got this email just now

    Many thanks for getting in contact with us and I'm sorry to hear your
    disappointment that the Home Fries Tasting Masterclass was not at a
    store near you. Although we did want to visit stores all over the country,
    due to the time we had for the tour and taking into consideration
    logistics, this was not possible and unfortunately there are no foreseeable
    plans to extend the tour at this time. Stating that it was a
    "nationwide" tour has been misleading when we were not able to accommodate your
    area.

    Please accept our apologies that you were not able to sample our chips
    and enjoy the tasting experience. We will be sending you a coupon
    shortly, giving you £1 off any of our McCain product. We hope that this
    experience has not put you off using our product in the future.

    Kind Regards,
