Surprised (or rather, sadly not) that so many people seem to be getting genuinely offended by this. It's an idea (not original, but not claiming to be) and the team seem to have done a good job on the website and marketing. The prices are also not extortionate as many are claiming. It's basic supply and demand and I wouldn't be surprised if those involved can make a reasonably honest living out of it.
As for the “sell out” sponsored anglers involved. Get a grip! Suppose some of you would prefer them to claim benefits like some of the “realest” anglers out there.
Anglers trying to make an honest living with a proven business model. If it's not for you, leave them to it.

Not offended by it myself and don't think anyone here is, merely pointing out its just as simple and cheaper with a bit of thought to buy ingredients when shopping and do it yourself. As with most thing you get a greater sense of satisfaction/achievement doing it yourself wharever possible.

Haha, I haven't actually, it's not for me. I'm sure the business will enjoy some success though - it's a proven model.

So 35p for 3 then, plus the convenience of having it in a recyclable bowl, and the cost of that bowl. I'm not saying it's cheap, but it's not pants-down expensive. 99p for a healthy convenient breakfast is ok money - we've all spent more on worse breakfasts.
Convenience comes at a price. If you don't understand that I'm all ears to hear about how you roll all your own bait, because there's far bigger savings to be had there.

I really just find it bizarre that someone would buy a portioned breakfast for £4 from them that you could just buy everything from Tesco's and split into portion packs yourself and freeze for a quarter of the price and five minutes of your time.

There's convenience at a price, and then there a plain rip off. This lot come into the latter . (And yes I do roll all my own bait)
