Friday’s Rants & Raves: Tesco and their ‘Great Nights In’

‘Great Nights In’

Tesco is a British multinational grocery and general merchandise retailer which is the third largest retailer in the world measured by profits. It’s the grocery market leader in the UK (with a share of about 28%), Ireland, Thailand, and Hungary.

One of Tesco’s popular promotions is their ‘Great Nights In’. Snacks are a pretty essential ingredient of a good night in. Combine them with a classic film noir, a bottle of tawny port, and a playful partner, and I can see how you’ll be easily swayed against venturing outdoors.

Sweets obviously qualify as a snack. And Tesco’s website is currently promoting 13 varieties of sweets under their ‘Great Nights In’. Be careful what you order though. I don’t see a partner being overly impressed if you order the Persil Bio Washing Liquid to ‘sweeten’ that great night in! Although emphasizing the £2 saving might lighten the mood in some households.

They also list yoghurt as a sweet! Their promotion is pretty flawed. Ice cream is listed under crisps. They really should do better.
