Cadbury's "eat more chocolate & get healthier" Campaign
Cadbury have launched a scheme thro primary schools (upto year 6 i believe) where if u collect the tokens on the back of chocolate bars, collect x amount, hand them to ur school and get free PE equipment.
Its such a backwards swiss its unreal, the ratio of tokens to gear is obseen, it worked out for a volley ball setup inc. net, net stands and ball, 1500 bars of chocolate!!
This is all supported as an official sponsership health scheme. how theyve even been allowed to do this i have no clue.

er you are joking right? A school of 500 kids who eat and average of one mars bar a week each would get a full volley ball setup in 3 weeks. How is that a bad thing

i don't reckon it'd make that much difference really.
when i was at school there was this massive 'books for schools' thing which i think was on crisp packets. i didnt eat any extra crisps i just saved the tokens off the ones i did eat.

yup thats what i thought when i saw this on the news, walkers crisps do a similar thing, and imm sure crisps are more un-healthy than chocolate bars to

Exactly wot i was thinkin. Kids wont eat more chocolate, they will just collect the tokens and give them into their school. The school benefits, so no real big problem. And anyway chocolate tastes nice, and its better than crisps

I read about this in the Sun, apparently once you have eaten your way through enough chocolate bars to get the volley ball set up, you then have to work out for 900 hours just to burn of the calories!
