Come on now. There's enough going on without the need for this filth!

Dear god.

That sounds really grim!

HopingForMyRainbowBaby · 10/03/2022 22:25

That actually sounds really nice Blush

SquishySquirmy · 10/03/2022 22:26

Bleurgh.
Chocolate is delicious. Houmous is delicious.
Together? Horrible. They've taken two good things and ruined them both.

mrsfollowill · 10/03/2022 22:26

Grin who on earth would buy that! hideous

KittenKong · 10/03/2022 22:27

M&S are selling marmite hot cross buns and cheese hot cross buns.

Just wrong.

Nairobiblue · 10/03/2022 22:30

Jaffa cakes with pineapple or blackcurrant in them!! EnvyAngry
The clue is in the name - Jaffa is 🍊- only orange.

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 10/03/2022 22:30

What the chuff's that?!

Emelene · 10/03/2022 22:31

Ew I think this sounds awful! And hilarious!

Velveteenchair · 10/03/2022 22:32

Sounds like a pudding.

Anyoldfuckingusername · 10/03/2022 22:33

Chocolate flavoured houmous,...
I've bloody seen it all now.

8lue8ird · 10/03/2022 22:34

This needs to stop... 🤮🤮

MistySkiesAfterRain · 10/03/2022 22:39

Oh god why are we sold chocolate ALL year round. First Christmas, then have you noticed Easter eggs have been in sale for ages. It is ridiculous. I say that as a chocoholic.

RaininSummer · 10/03/2022 22:39

Do they still do chocolate flavour peas in Iceland. They were invented when my kids were small but never bought them as they seemed such an abomination.

mnahmnah · 10/03/2022 22:39

It’s like the result of a task on The Apprentice

CeleriacOfTheNight · 10/03/2022 22:42

The dirty, dirty fucking bastards.

This is a true story, and I can’t be arsed to change my user name.
Anyhow, back in the early 80s I worked as a food buyer for Sainsburys. I bought chilled foods, quiches, sausage rolls that sort of thing. I was then moved to buy chilled pizzas, taking over from someone who left suddenly.
I had the dubious ‘honour’ of launching the last product he had developed. It was, I kid you not, a cheese and tomato pizza topped with muesli!
It lasted less than a week on the shelves.

I didn't see the carrots at first and read it as "carrot-and-chocolate-flavoured humous"!

FloodTheBathroom · 10/03/2022 22:58

They used to do a feta hummus which was delicious. Why are they wasting time and energy on this abomination?

gaggiagirl · 10/03/2022 23:01

Chocolate hummus is an American thing, I see it a lot on the calorie counting groups. It'll just be a chocolate spread type thing made with chickpeas and no garlic. Would that and apple slices be nicer? Or little bread sticks.

Cookerhood · 10/03/2022 23:03

I need marmite & cheese hot cross buns (or are they separate items?)

Jammybadger · 10/03/2022 23:03

Presumably aimed at getting some veg into chocolate obsessed kids. I think it sounds gross but my 3yo eats ketchup with a spoon so may be into it.

humanbeansiskillingeachother · 10/03/2022 23:09

@KittenKong M&S have always done disgusting things with food. I remember a lumpy milkshake they did - put little balls of something in a perfectly nice milkshake 🤢

Sounds like bubble tea, which is all the rage with young uns!

Blinkingbatshit · 10/03/2022 23:17

Yuk, totally bleurgghh. Anyone caught buying those should be forced to do an LFT, there’s no way they can have a normal sense of taste😆

That's how it reads when you glance at it -which is exactly what shoppers will do. The fools should have called it chocolate flavoured houmous and carrots.

Then put it in the bin.
