Sweet victory for selection box crew in 12 pubs challenge

Life is like a box of chocolates, said one Forest Gump but weekend shoppers in Dublin could have been forgiven for thinking that maybe it was more like a selection box.

In planning their “12 pubs of Christmas” boozefest, a group of lifelong friends decided to ditch the Christmas jumpers and don instead giant handmade replicas of the chocolate bar wrappers that make up the Cadbury Selection Box.

Photos of the men posted online have now gone viral, including one featuring them lying on the ground in the outline shape of the selection box.
