Tea bag or bad gag?

Suits their image. Cheap. They know they can't lose sales. People love a bargin and cheap goods and plenty of poor people out there. Can get some decent stuff in poundland.

Yaayuh! · 22 Dec 2017 at 08:33

Publicity bad no such thing etc blah.

I find them quite funny and something a bit different.

People don't have to look at it, they choose to visit their twitter page, if they don't like it, don't look!

I love it in a cheap way which Poundland is so it's perfect.

Vonhelmet · 22 Dec 2017 at 09:13

Goes to show how pointless twitter is...

Also, **** that elf.

dirtychinchilla · 22 Dec 2017 at 10:37

That's hilarious. I don't understand why it says spot the difference, though...

This is a thoughtcrime. Only goodthink please.

If you've never had your corpse teabagged whilst in a shooter you've lived a very sheltered online life.

Everyone that's assumed the dolls gender should be ashamed. The outrage!

Cleisthenes · 22 Dec 2017 at 11:08

I laughed, but mainly at the replies.

That woman getting up in arms that she looks unconscious, it's a doll for goodness sake!

LiE · 22 Dec 2017 at 11:08

I approve of this.

The original had a Twinings teabag box in it. Twinings weren't impressed, understandably. I suggested they were missing an opportunity for a new flavour in their overpriced poncy tea range... Plum & Prickly Pear.

I wasn't aware of the campaign until yesterday, but it made me smile. If Poundland were a seaside resort it'd be Blackpool, not Eastbourne, and this is end of the pier stuff. The Twin Peaks bar's not bad either, as my festive cholesterol level would no doubt prove.

We see what you did there.

There really are some crazy women on twitter complaining about how the teabagged doll is unconscious and it's not consensual WTF!

Someone zoomed in and you can clearly see the eyes open. Christ, people finding offence in everything need to get a life - what a miserable existence they must lead.

HAz · 22 Dec 2017 at 11:22

lol yep some right wet farts on there, all up in arms offended. Get a life.

antijoke · 22 Dec 2017 at 11:27

I will await the announcement from Theresa May that they are banning all future sales of Elves and Twinings tea bags. This filth must not and should not be allowed.

Narj · 22 Dec 2017 at 11:31

I now want to try one of those Twin Peaks bars - I abandoned Toblerone after they did the ripoff narrowing of the segments. :mad:

dirtybeatfreak · 22 Dec 2017 at 11:38

I thought they were pretty good. The Elf getting cocky one was hilarious

Nasher · 22 Dec 2017 at 11:52

lol...some of the comments.

They clearly did it knowing what the response would be. Triggering sensitive people on twitter seems to be the best way to get your brand name spread around the internet for free. Most people will find it funny.

The poker pic make me chuckle.

The marketing manager for Poundland has outdone John Lewis' effort - bravo, well played.
