Wow. How disappointing it would be during the holidays , to open up the SAME item 1, 2, 3, 4 times . A calendar NEEDS to have a different item in each day, and should start smallest , less expensive, etc, and get better with every other day opened.
To be honest it is not Lindt that is scamming you , it is Costco they will have got then for £80 wholesale then marked them up to make a profit just like most supermarkets do.
The UK charges 20% VAT for chocolates. The cost of the calendar is only 150 pounds. The 30 pounds for VAT doesn't go to Lindt or Costco, but to the UK government. If you buy this elsewhere, it might be a better deal. I think in France, the VAT for food is only 10-5.5% depending on the food.
You're so right! it is upsetting that especially for the occasion of Christmas, Lindt couldn't offer something amazing! hey ho... I was willing to spend the money!
Do you work for them, or they paid you to write that. It's a fricking joke so many repetitive items. Really crap I will boycott lindt from here on in its plain scamming
@hunkhk ... nope, don't work for them. Yes, I get the "outrage." Not cool. I liked the video cause I thought this guy was funny to watch his reaction to each door 😂. That's it. It's just chocolate. Not that serious!
@ljupkadobrosavljevic8267 ... LOL ok well... you go ahead and let it be serious to you then. Read carefully before you post on something you didn’t understand. But let me simplify for ya.... I LIKED THE VIDEO, GUY WAS FUNNY, CHOCOLATE IS GOOD, WAS FUN TO WATCH HIM OPEN......THAT'S ALL! 😄 With all the REAL serious stuff we have going on in the world, I'm sorry chocolate is so upsetting to you. Take a deep breath, it's ok 👍
Cool video I love the chocolate bears. They probably expect people to give it as a gift and never know that they paid a lot more than the items are worth.
A scam. Also... in the US there is a class action case against a number of chocolate brands including Lindt for bringing chocolate with high levels if lead and cadmium on the market.
Not that this adds much value but I noticed a lot of them have a charm on them which they dont have default so I wonder if they're claiming the charms are worth something like if they're gold plated or something.
It costs 150 pounds. VAT is 20% which is 30 pounds. VAT doesn't go to the company, but to your government. Where I live, we only have 12% VAT. I'd say if you buy this in a country with no VAT for chocolates, or lower than 20% VAT, then it could be a good deal. Yeah, 50 pounds is still a lot of money if the cost of everything is only 100, but if you're buying this for all of your nephews and nieces, or for a large extended family, then it will save you the time it takes to buy several other gifts, plus transportation, plus wrapping paper, plus the time and labor to wrap everything, and the cost of your time and labor. So, you can just buy this and say, "Here you go. You can just figure out for yourselves who gets what, or maybe just share everything."
@@louiseoakes776 No, I meant if you lived in that other country with the lower VAT. France also has Costco. They only have I think 5% VAT for chocolates, not sure.
I was gonna get one but not now, I was waiting for an ornament or even a mug , something other than same duo over and over , am not fan of dark chocolate or hazelnut but it's a surprise in every section I guess , glad I didn't order one
Agreed. I would still keep the charms though and put them on a miniature tree. I would be over the moon with this as a gift overall. Agreed more variety needed - instead of all the Santa's, have Mrs. Clause and a male and female elf. Swap a few of the reindeer out for some other Lindt products or limited edition exclusives. Eg. Christmas theme bauble and ornament. Even a mug with Lindt logo on it. It would be worth the cost then.
I bought the regular Lindt Advent Calendar. It was retailed for $20 Cdn. (Was used to be around $13 before pandemic...) But got it on blackfriday for $13. (40% off)
Not only there are lead and other elements inside their chocolate,not top of the line ingredients just better than average , absurdly expensive ,they do shrinkflation And now this , this is exactly why everyone hates corporate people should understand writing french made , swiss made or italian made doesn't mean it is a nice product The craftsmanship and materials used determine its quality even if it is made in china
Yeah that sucks. I could only find U.S. prices and it came to a value of $196.25 or £153.99 so quite a bit short of the £179 investment. Very disappointing.
It's not, you never get exact costs (or more "value") with advent calendars. Usually you spend $10-ish dollars for a mere $1 worth of chocolate...and packaging...You're never getting more than your money's worth... But, the expense is in or should be in the experience and marvel - a daily little surprise. Imagine a family doing this together... And there's a little bit (and probably enough) for everyone.
wow they should be ashamed of them selves charging that much for this crap unless you are a real fan of the stuff but even then its a lot of money for chocolate when its not even that good not for that price imho
FYI I’m from 🇨🇦 & our Lindt costs a lot more. I did purchase an empty special box to create a beer advent calendar & with shipping, handling, taxes cost $56.48 from Amazon. You should factor the cost of the huge special advent box which did look like they made sure the chocolate wasn’t damaged in transit.
@@hunkhk yes Americans are loud I am one and can agree with that, I've met a few Brits in my life and they were loud or at least to me they were that's why I said that, it also could have been that his mic wasn't working well which made him sound like he was shouting. This is the first video I've ever watched of his so I have no idea how he normally talks
Currency exchange is different most countries. Australia is closer to the US and a lot of those choc boxes go for similar here. $12 - $14 Sometimes there's a deal and they go down to $8.

By the ways guys, so far I have made £61.15 from the views on this video 🤣 Thankyou all! ❤
That bunny was a reindeer in disguse.
It is from their Easter chocolate.
At least you helped others know not to throw all that money away. 😊
Lindt should be fully ashamed. Wow.
I genuinely agree! to have only £100 worth of chocolate in a £180 advent calendar is shameful. it has tarnished my opinion of the brand!
All advent calendars are like that.
@@zyxw2000 No, they aren't.

Don't get the Avon advent calendar then. It's wax melts, candles Reed diffuser. Only 12 days as well, I was hoping for a lipstick or some perfume
Never seen a bunny with antlers 😂😂😂😂thank you for sharing, I'm so happy I didn't buy one
Jackalope?
@furbysmith3240 🤣🤣🤣
80 quid of chocolate missing. I hate these greedy companies.

I think every advent calendar’s shouldn’t have any repeats in them. A lot of advents do it.
There are no "deals" anymore. Companies use the holidays to jack up the price and lessen the amount of their goods. We're all tired of it 😮💨
You're so right! it is upsetting that especially for the occasion of Christmas, Lindt couldn't offer something amazing! hey ho... I was willing to spend the money!
it is actually rare to find an advent calendar that has contents worth more than the price of the calandar, especially with chocolate!
everytime you say bunny i..😂😂
Everything that was in the calendar was drawn on the box. No surprises.
People usually don't look for spoilers. And it is suprise if you pay for something more than it is worth.
I actually liked this video. I was excited to see each door. Lindt is my FAVORITE, so I'd be happy with it all. Thanks for letting us in on it!
Do you work for them, or they paid you to write that. It's a fricking joke so many repetitive items. Really crap I will boycott lindt from here on in its plain scamming

It is that serious if they charge more than what is worth individualy, no matter is it chocolate or something else.

In American Costco‘s or Sam’s Club’s, you can return anything even if it’s opened or halfway used. I say you return the thing.
I watched this as we are lindt fans . But I can't handle the voice😂
The bunny was a jackalope
It’s a reindeer
Are you from Wyoming?
@ no Illinois
@ I know the WY jackalope is quite famous. That is why I wondered.
Cool video I love the chocolate bears. They probably expect people to give it as a gift and never know that they paid a lot more than the items are worth.
That bunny had antlers

I was wondering that too
unfortunately not! the charms are worthless :(
Dark chocolates my favourite id happily steal the dark chocolate items 😂
I watch the box in a video, I was curious. I think lindt has more variety of chocolate

Except that the prices online also include vat so you'd still be losing out .

@Rainbowheart369 that would be awesome
Great video! Shame on Lindt for scamming people.
It a bunny 🐇at Easter 🐣and a reindeer at Christmas.
I bought the regular Lindt Advent Calendar. It was retailed for $20 Cdn. (Was used to be around $13 before pandemic...) But got it on blackfriday for $13. (40% off)
And a Partridge in a pear tree 🤣🤣🤣🤣 .
Didn't Santa have 8 reindeer?
That was a reindeer not a bunny. 😂
i had to stop watching. the screaming was intense 😂
Yeah agree it's as bad the advent calendar
Welcome to TH-cam.
I haven’t seen one advent calendar video that was worth the money. Chanel was the worst.
You should watch more videos.
Costco will take it back, they’ll take anything back 😂
Oh deer, it's not a bunny
You got your pound to dollar exchange wrong. The sign said it cost $149.99, switching to the american dollar would be $191.11. Only a $50 difference.
That’s before VAT! The actual price of the calendar was £179.99
They should have put a Lindt Christmas Ornament!
The animals have charms!
Shock horror - an advent calendar, whose contents is worth less than the cost of the calendar !!!!
Oh nasty 🤮 £80.00 gone poor you 😂
day 4 was a reindeer not a bunny
Not only there are lead and other elements inside their chocolate,not top of the line ingredients just better than average , absurdly expensive ,they do shrinkflation
And now this , this is exactly why everyone hates corporate people should understand writing french made , swiss made or italian made doesn't mean it is a nice product

Lindt probably doesn’t have 24 different products so there’s going to be repeats. £80 is a bit steep for the fancy box and “experience” though.
Yeah that sucks. I could only find U.S. prices and it came to a value of $196.25 or £153.99 so quite a bit short of the £179 investment. Very disappointing.
5:31 army? You mean herd
lol you have a very expensive herd of reindeer. Shocking. 🎄
Get ready for December 25, 2024? For A Great Christmas Day!

I really dislike Lindt chocolate. Don’t know why anyone goes mad over it. That calendar was a waste of space.
Too many repeat items 😢
Why is Santa so falical lol
I think it’s a good deal it’s huge big prizes you have to be a kid to get it.
No
BIG NO NO!!! Same items for several times?!
day 4 bunny?.... really?...it's a reindeer meng....
Not only is a crap deal imagine the waste and environmental impact its all bollocs
add in the money for the name brand and the novelty of a giant chocolate advent calendar. Chocolate is getting expensive, too.
Hey it’s Costco purchase, just return it.
That’s a bit pants. I would be taking it back, or writing a polite, yet stern email to Lindt.
I liked and subscribed to help you and now I am going to watch another video of yours. Hope that helps. I felt so bad for you! 😂
You are a great person! ❤️
I don’t think this is available in the USA. 🙁
I think know what caused the confusion , the ear shape is the same as the rabbit but one has hooves and the other does not
haha I have no idea why but I have just always thought they were rabbits haha
I'm in the USA and this chocolate is expensive and the balls are my favorite
What a rip-off.
wow they should be ashamed of them selves charging that much for this crap unless you are a real fan of the stuff but even then its a lot of money for chocolate when its not even that good not for that price imho
What will really get you is that it only cost them 25 to make if that

You are definitely right, but is the box worth £80 GBP? ($143 CAD?)
What a rip off!
2:28 why do you have to shout. Normal voice is fine
You have a microphone why are you shouting?
Some British people are just loud I think he's just talking normally never watched his videos before so I have no idea
@@Justarandomnerdygirlyou are getting confused with Americans
@@hunkhk yes Americans are loud I am one and can agree with that, I've met a few Brits in my life and they were loud or at least to me they were that's why I said that, it also could have been that his mic wasn't working well which made him sound like he was shouting. This is the first video I've ever watched of his so I have no idea how he normally talks
What a complete ripoff
I love lint chocolate
i guess some of that chocolate is more expensive in the states. the boxes run 12-17$ at like Walgreen's and target.
Currency exchange is different most countries. Australia is closer to the US and a lot of those choc boxes go for similar here. $12 - $14 Sometimes there's a deal and they go down to $8.
Could it be that this is meant as a gift item that bears no relation in price to its contents?
Put a dark and a white Lindor into a Hot Milk..... delicious Hot Chocolate
You wasted your money mate 😂
Trust me... I know haha
I'm so sorry 🍫😮

Can you painted your nails one time its be so nice and going to make me happy
You want me… to paint my nails?
@ yes what is the problem with that? I mean if you want you have to do that
Lindtt isnt gluten free. I can't have it.
Ouch😮
It is not a bunny 😅🤍 it's a raindeer!😅🥰
OMG STOP SHOUTING !!
that calender - what a dissapoitment
what a waste of money, lindt is so overpriced anyway and this maxi calendar was so disappointing
Please stop shouting.
Rip off
In the USA the boxes are worth $12 a piece
That's actually a bunny 5:33
It shows you on the front what you're getting! 🙄🙄🙄
Maybe try not shouting at your viewers,it's quite annoying.
Noted. I will work on my voice
I’m the first person to see this video
And iam Not
Gh
Pretty weak variety, I must say. Also - stop hating dark chocolate! It's the best!!
You have to consider the cost of making the cardboard calendar etc. They need to make a profit to pay their employees…..I think it’s a great calendar.
They are already expensive, don't need to make moneyon packaging.
I think it was more about the experience that is why it was so expensive. I dont know though.. I would be happy to get all that chocolate
To get it or to pay for it?
This would be very expensive in the USA.
Sign said $149.00
Absoloutely crazy! ffs adult your vocab mate.
It's the same with everything at Xmas, your paying for the packaging !!!
You pay £80 for the box 😂😂😂😢😢😢
It's not a bunny it's a rain deer
Reindeer
