Free gift
In my groceries today I found a packet of Percy Pig sweets. ‘Made with real fruit juice’ is the claim on the front of the packet. They are vegan, and have ‘no artificial ingredients or flavourings’ (I quote from the Marks and Spencer website.)
All well and good. Free gifts are often to be welcomed.
I tried a couple. They had a pleasant enough texture, but no discernible, easily identifiable flavour.
They are definitely not something I would ever buy. ‘Something of nothing’ is my verdict. Perhaps others relish them and cannot have enough of them.
I wonder why they are being sent out as free gifts. Overstocked, maybe? I’ll never know.
Free gift? Aren’t all gifts free?
Not selling, perhaps. Get rid of them and gain some goodwill. They do look cute. My gifts aren't free. They are given with expectations.
