I love a bar of chocolate, but even I see that running the ‘confectionery gauntlet’ isn’t good for me, so this has to be a positive step in the battle against obesity. Everything in moderation, hey?
Kantar Worldpanel sent me some interesting statistics about the British confectionery market, which I’ll share with you.
That’s a lot of money and a lot of chocolate. Time will tell if Tesco’s decision will affect sales. Of course, that shelf space has to be filled with something else. At my local Marks & Spencer, there’s a mix of options that includes chocolate, sweets, crisps, nuts, seeds, dried fruit and hand gel. All options seem to be at child’s eye level, but Tesco has said it will change its policy in this regard, too.
Fruit would be good, and perhaps bottled water. I’d love to see a small fridge at the checkout that contains milk, as I nearly always forget it.
