to think this is unacceptable?

[IAmBooyhoo]

as a treat on saturdays we get a dvd, a pizza (frozen) and cupcakes from our local supervalu. the cupcakes come in a pack of 4. until recently each one had a chocolate swirl on top of the icing. the bun making people have now (i'm sure due to austerity measres ) have decided to put chocolate swirls on just 2 of the four cupcakes. there are 3 of us. i'm not impressed. we have tried splitting the swirls in two but they are too fragile and crumble and apparently as i'm an adult i should let the dcs have the buns with the swirls and i should be happy with a swirlless cupcake. needless to say i am not happy with this arrangement. i have considered purchasing 3 packs of cupcakes which would allow each of us to have two buns each with a swirl on top but i begrudge giving the bun manking people any more of my money than necessary (the one pack a week is necessary ). boycotting isn't an option (see point about buns being necessary). what do i do? this cant go on. i am having swirlly withdrawal symtoms and i fear i might go on a cupcake stealing spree in supervalu.

any advice much appreciated TIA

Who eats the 4th cupcake, that is the question...

4 cupcakes, 3 people simple solution whoever has the ones without swirls has 2!

well that has been the arrangement thus far but i really need a swirly fix and teh chidlren wont be persuaded by a second bun to give theirs up. they are very selfish.

Swirly bun eating rota?

Complete and utter penny pinching bastards!

Complain!

Wait until they are at school on Monday and get another box and have all 4!

You need a picture. With the sad eyes and downtrodden look in the DM "mother of children forced to go without chocolate swirls to satisfy penny pinching big business bosses"

On a different note, I bought a tray of 12 full sized chocolate iced ring donuts from Morrissons today for just £2

They're normally about £1 for 3

Buy a tube of swirly stuff and apply your own bigger and better swirl?

Defo complain but in the meantime get a bar of dairy milk as a way of compensation that you only have sponge

Can you buy a bag of something swirl like to share - clearly the non swirl bun person getting more??

i dont care what they're called, i just want them all to have swirls on.

sirzy i like it, but it means paying more money to the stingey people.

@ hathor. the sad eyes have been a permanent fixture since this happened.

What sort of swirly stuff is it?

Would the chocolate swirly stuff you get for ice cream (is it called Treat?) be acceptable to swirl on top of your buncake?

to clarify, this isn't the swirly icing, they all still have that (although they have changed th etaste of that too but i can cope) this is a little swirl like they have scraped the top of a chocolate bar and the 'shred' has swirled, like when butter sometimes does?

Only fair thing is that no-one gets a swirl.

Or, as my old Gran always said "One cuts, the other chooses." Don''t know how that works with three though.

it sits on top if the icing.

of the icing. see how this has affected me??

You need counselling Boo and you could bill Supervalu for it.

You've obviously been deeply affected.

Take all the swirls off then no one gets them.

Or, Sunshine, take all the swirls off and eat them yourself

Yes! That's it! Pretend they've stopped all the swirls completely and actually eat them all yourself! Genius hathorkicksass

name and shame OP which supermarket has one this?

waitrose cupcakes are excellent, and i hope to god they still do swirls on all 4
