From this I seem to have got onto the list of a food PR company. Recently they invited people to go to London to blind taste test a new range of Findus's foods. I declined; not wanting to use a day's leave and thinking it far too cheeky to try to extract from them the train fare.
Because I hadn't been able to attend, this arrived in the post:
- 4 x £3.99 vouchers for Findus Fresher Taste range (enough for 1 of each flavour)
- 1 x £10 Oddbins voucher to use for wine to go with
- 1 x USB memory stick with a video on
- 1 x eyemask to conduct my own blind taste test
Very happy days, there a few things I enjoy more than free goodies randomly appearing.
but without sounding like a snob... findus... really? Although I must say I do remember their french bread pizzas with fondness!
ReplyDeleteDom - I know what you mean. But I am from Yorkshire, and I'll use that as an excuse for being so excited at getting something for nothing.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say, the trouble with a chocolate blog is that I'm unable to review anything that hasn't got chocolate in it, but .... actually, not too envious of this one thought £10 to spend on a bottle or two of wine isn't bad.
ReplyDeleteWell I will be interested in what you think of the Findus stuff when you try it and I think it's interesting that they are targeting food bloggers with their marketing. They must think that their stuff will stand up against our high standards. I am with Choclette on the Oddbins voucher - that's great, I would definitely get just the one bottle with that and maybe add a pound or two, then it might be a really special treat.
ReplyDeleteChoc: you seem to do ok with the Chocolate reviews. I wouldn't know what to do with them apart from say "Oooh, Chocolatey. Thanks".
ReplyDeleteI'd agree it is an interesting approach, given these blogs are about what people have created and cooked - rather than just warmed up. It might mean they're ok. It's probably 20 years since I bought a Findus product; I may be converted!
A tenner's worth of wine must always be a good thing though! I'd already decided I'd go for a nicer bottle rather than just get as much plonk as I can.
