And this year’s prestigious Scroogemas Award goes to (drum roll) …. The Kinnerton Peppa Pig advent calendar.
Winner of the Scroogemas Award
If you’re on a festive diet or want to avoid dental fillings then look no further than this wonderful piggy themed advent calendar, fully endorsed by the Obesity Police, it’s designed to give you the smallest sliver of chocolate every day so that you feel like you’re indulging in the usual Christmas naughtiness but without the calories.
No
need to rush down the stairs every day, fighting off the other half for the
honour of opening the special door as behind each one there’s a chocolate figurine
the size of a fingernail. To give you a
better visual idea of how large your daily surprise is, here’s a photo showing
some of the chocolates against my Gabapentin capsule.
Smaller than the recent cut to NI contributions
Yep, there’s more substance in the cardboard packaging than in all 25 chocolates!
Is
it me or do you remember a time when advent calendars contained all sorts of
larger delicious goodies behind each door that were worth fighting for? Clearly those times are long gone thanks to
shrinkflation and Scroogish corporate greed.

I’m saving up all my special bits of daily chocolate until the 25th to stuff in my mouth all at once so that it feels like I’ve actually munched on a proper Crimbo bit of naughtiness.
Bring
on the turkey!
