Title: Not a bad return
Post by: Just One More on December 27, 2010, 08:44:53 PM
Waitrose ran a campaign in November advertising Heston Blumenthal's hidden orange Christmas puddings, they were priced at £13.99 and sold out before December.  Not a bad investment it would appear  (http://home-garden.shop.ebay.co.uk/Food-Drink-/14308/i.html?_nkw=waitrose+christmas+pudding&_dmpt=UK_Home_Garden_Food_SM&_fln=1&_sc=1&_sop=3)
