I saw they were being followed by various other familiar names from the Apprentice, not just this series, on twitter. But I suppose you can never be sure.
with the shape and the colour of the contents, if I'd found one of those under the christmas tree i would be thinking it was expensive bubble bath and tipping it in the tub
Chris' bottle looked very expensive to make and would have pushed the price of the drink up, I'm surprised nobody mentioned this.
I was just about to say exactly the same thing.
I can distinctly rememeber in a previous series of the apprentice that someone got a roasting for coming up with a far too expensive bittle (I think it was for perfume) but there was no mention of the cost of the bottle this time.
I liked Chris's bottle, but I think there could be serious safety issues as well. I'd be surprised if a bottle like that would be stocked in supermarkets.

Yep, I was shouting that at the TV last night. I was very surprised that it didn't come up, given they were looking at a fixed retail price of £20 and so the cost would be critical to profitability.

It was a bottle of cologne for men, which came in two parts, one of which say in the side of the other larger part. You decanted the large bottle into the small part, then took it with you for use during the day. It was very expensive to make. This bottle would not have cost anything like as much, as despite it's shape it was quite simple.

that part of it was spoilt for me as ok knew that each bottle in theory would retail at £20, but in reality would it. For instance the bottle design of each product, the ingrediants, i mean what if there is a shortage of pomegranites, or a bad crop. Bourbon is renown for being a high priced mixer...non of these factors were mentioned, it all seemed so very rushed
I loved the design on his bottle, it was something different.
It was better than stellas.
Thats the thing though, just because somethings "different" doesn't make its better. I think Chris was trying too hard to make a weird and individual looking bottle, when sometimes the classic designs are the best.
As well as the obvious safety concerns, I can imagine it would be pretty difficult to hold the bottle and pour a drink from it, because its such a weird shape. Ergonomically, Stella's was a much better design. Plus it also looked more classic, would be easier to display instore, and would cost less to produce.

Urbon spent most of the evening trending on twitter, so obviously Stella's brand created more of a stir.
Probely her family
Stellas design was simliar to other bottles.
You have to laugh
Well she appears to have just started a twitter, I'm now following her lol
This is exactly what I said!
@stella_english is a fake account.
Aww poo, I knew someone would say that lol

I kept expecting somebody to mention this but they never did, first thing I thought was perfume.
First thing I thought was:
WARNING: Not suitable for children under 3 years, clumsy or intoxicated people.
I liked Stella's Urbon bottle better. Though I found myself agreeing when LS said it looked like a vinegar or oil bottle at first glance.

No, Stella chose Urbon.
