Shit The Bed, Greggs Just Made Kisses Under The Mistletoe Ten Times, Nay, A Hundred Times Better

Shit The Bed, Greggs Just Made Kisses Under The Mistletoe Ten Times, Nay, A Hundred Times Better

Thank you, Greggs!

Is there anything more appealing than the thought of kissing someone and them tasting of Greggs? The answer to that question is no.

So, with that in mind, lips meeting under the mistletoe have got a whole lot better this year, as the bakery chain has launched two limited edition flavoured lip balms in time for the festive season.

The retailer has created two special treats - Festive Bake and Sweet Mince Pie - offering the ultimate flavours for your lips.

The Festive Bake is inspired by the ultimate pastry of the same name, and the Sweet Mince Pie flavour is based on Greggs' variation of the Christmas classic.

The release of the Greggs lip balms follows a survey of 2,000 people which found that the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe has fallen out of favour, with 28 percent of Brits saying the last time they kissed someone underneath the mistletoe was at least 10 years ago or more.

A further 31 percent said they had never puckered up underneath the mistletoe.

A Greggs spokesperson, who I imagine has a Steak Bake for a head and a gingerbread body, said: "This Christmas we wanted to bring some fun to the last-minute present dash by giving busy shoppers the chance to pick up a festive lip balm from a number of our shops across the country.

"Whether it's a kiss under the mistletoe or a fun treat for a loved one, our festive-flavoured lip balms applied generously to lips will hopefully put a lip-licking smile on anyone's face!"

Greggs is giving away a total of 5,000 lip balms at selected shops across the country on Monday 19th December from 10.00am until supplies run out, including:

  • Belfast - Donegall Square West, BT1 6JH
  • Birmingham - High Street, B4 7SL
  • Cardiff - Queen Street, CF10 2BW
  • Glasgow - Buchanan Street, G1 2LW
  • Leeds - Central Arcade, LS1 6DX
  • Liverpool - Wall Street, L1 8BU
  • London - The Strand, WC2R 1JA
  • Manchester - Deansgate, M3 2AY
  • Newcastle - Northumberland Street, NE1 7DE

Can't wait.
