Is there any better example of a food that doesn't deserve to exist? (feddit.uk)

There are lots of things that can be put down to personal taste, however I can't let this abomination go.

I am referring to Branston Smooth.

I love Branston Pickle, but I can't get on board with Branston paste. Is there a better example where a manufacturer made an updated version of a food that was objectively worse?

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think bourbons are past the point of having separate brands any more. We eat so many of them (nationally, not personally), that 40p "Happy Shopper" bourbons are basically the same as £2 Marks and Spencer ones, and are probably made in the same factory.

Hahaha so true, do branded bourbons and custard creams even exist. And nice biscuits??

The biscuit was introduced in 1910 (originally under the name "Creola") by the biscuit company Peek Freans, of Bermondsey, London, originator of the Garibaldi biscuit. The Bourbon name, dating from the 1930s, comes from the former French and Spanish royal House of Bourbon.
