Broken broken cheep cheep

Imagine the dismay at Travolution Towers this week when this tasty piece of Easter-driven promotional puff arrived in two pieces.


The fate of this chocolate extravanganza, we hope, does not signal something about the fortunes of its sender, Cheapflights - or Rooster, its PR agency.

We are reliably informed that the chocolate does, in fact, taste rather good. So all is not lost.

It *did* taste good. The only downside was discovering that the dye in the delicious chocolate treat turned my mouth blue. Three hours after scoffing, I've been wandering around with a blue gob. Sigh.

I believe it was purposely broken in two to make sure it was shared among the team at Travolution!

Ryan: you are too kind. but perhaps more chocolate would've been a better strategy??!?

Share it!? Did you see the size of it? The only reason it took two bites to eat was because it was in two pieces ;-)

It was delicious though.

Well I think you should be grateful you got one - neither did I get the opportunity to gnaw into that chocolate nor my gob to go blue...

Instead I'm green with envy!

Chortle!

I am grateful Kev passed it on, but my gain was Kev's loss. Indeed, given that you haven't had any, it sounds like everyone feels a little left out. Perhaps we need some emergency packs of 'cheep' chocolate sent to TW Towers? Be sure to pop yourself on the distribution list too! ;-)

Last week the conversation was all about the difference between journalists and bloggers.

Now we know.

Journalists get chocolate sent to them. Bloggers don't.

Alex: Yeah, every day. Your average hack's post bag is stuffed full of chocolate.

Almost as much chocolate as rubbish press releases from PR agencies who don't understand Travolution. :-)

You're breaking my heart now. But my waistline thanks you very much.

Now clearly this latest development will add further fuel to Alex Bainbridge's fire.

I hasten to add that upon receipt of the new package, i donated the goodies to a sales person on Travolution and the fantastic web production team on travel weekly.
