pampers, the generous so-and-sos
Was thinking about the new tugging at the heart strings pampers advert where soft music plays and they say that they’ll pay to vaccine one child in the third world against tetanus. It looks like pampers have to disclose how much money goes to charity, and toward the end of the advert the small print says that 2.5p per pack goes to charity. Say an average pack of pampers costs £5, this means they donate 0.5% of the cost of a pack to charity.
The Facts
Buy a 26 pack of Pampers Active fit Maxis at Asda for £5 and give one child a tetanus vaccine
OR
Buy 26 of Asda’s own brand equivalent Little Angels Action fit Maxi for £3.97, leaving you with £1.03 change from £5. Give the £1.03 to charity, which would give 41 children tetanus vaccines
