If someone states in their order that they're a vegetarian, will you include a Mars bar or something instead of a packet of Haribos? (Haribos contain gelatine)

Just sayin' :p

I think it's only the sour cherrys that are produced in Turkey which are made with bovine gelatine; the rest of vegetable based, I think. :p
 
Personally I'd stick a big fat juicy steak in there. With a photograph of a raised middle finger ;)

I can see potential problems with both your business model given the cost of steak and also with your customer relations skills. :p

I don't know if there's a facility in the ordering process to state your dietary preference. Regardless though I wouldn't be expecting to get the sweets swapped, it's meant as an added bonus, not an integral part of the transaction so while I'd not be quite choosing TaKeN's option I don't think I'd be entertaining the idea either if it were up to me.
 
We can send you love letters if you like instead. :p

I heard customers loved those, especially forum members! ;)
 
Aren't Mars bars unsuitable for veggies?

Or have they fixed that now?

Mars Bars were suitable for vegetarians until 2007 when they announced that they were going to use rennet in the production of whey for their products, they rather swiftly withdrew this idea and went back to their original method after quite a bit of negative publicity. So essentially unless you have a store of Mars Bars from a relatively small period in 2007 then they shouldn't be a problem for vegetarians - I've got no idea the shelf life of a Mars Bar but I suspect 5 years might be pushing it.

It's more a case that it was "unfixed" for a short period of time than the other way round.
