You're probably all already eating /drinking this/these but I was shocked, appalled and horrified. I need to work on my sad face.

Tesco did Bacon Doughnuts a couple of years ago. Bleurgh.

KanyeWesticle · 28/02/2018 12:12

Bleurgh! Grim. What were they thinking?

I like the way the loo roll has a "surprise your friends" yes, surprise them with a stunning show of no taste. Loo roll is white - only acceptable colour.

Red loo roll foo when Aunt flo is in town? Hmm

UnimaginativeUsername · 28/02/2018 12:14

The description for that toilet roll is hilarious.

The three-ply roll delivers the sumptuous comfort needed, and the double-faced technology paper highlights its functionality: one inner white layer and an outer two-ply coloured face.

It’s toilet paper - exactly what ‘functionality’does the paper need to have beyond wiping your arse?

I also like that it says: Colorfast for its intended use. But it’s not suitable for contact with textiles when wet (presumably because it stains).

Sparklingbrook · 28/02/2018 12:14

I can't think of any reason red loo paper would be a good idea.

UnimaginativeUsername · 28/02/2018 12:16

I saw this in Tesco too yesterday. They had a huge pallet on display at the entrance. I assumed it was kitchen towel because who would want to wipe their arse with something that colour?

At some point absolutely everything in the UK will be salted caramel flavoured then I will starve to death. I would like a job in food product development, I could just sit around all day sending the odd email that just say "I suggest salted caramel" at random intervals, job done. Even for those who like salted caramel it must be getting just a little bit boring?

I have a theory about salted caramel. When everyone started drinking semi-skimmed milk luxury ice cream became a big thing to use up cream. Now salt is being removed from lots of food suddenly things that never has salt before have salted caramel. The salt manufacturers are obviously on the ball.

fresh and unique scent that will spread throughout.

The question is: spread throughout what?

StayAChild · 28/02/2018 12:19

Ugh I hate sweet crisps.
I imagine a salted caramel council reeling in as many random food and non food companies in to the salted caramel madness.

I actually avoid anything SC flavoured now thanks to MN when they may actually be quite naice.

I had it drummed into me that coloured toilet roll was highly dangerous . Dm always gave a pep talk - with a warning to be sparing with use - visiting my aunt who had orange loo roll in her orange bathroom and bright pink in the downstairs loo. ‘’Twas the 70s.

Jo Malone perfume. Unlikely in Tesco's though or even Waitrose.

You will be head of the SC council. Grin

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 28/02/2018 12:29

Yuck. That is a step too far.

Although salted caramel toothpastes would be even worse.

beepthemeep · 28/02/2018 12:31

Lady - I was told coloured toilet roll killed the fish 🐟!

Those crisps cannot have been worse than these. I still haven't quite recovered.

Anything salted caramel is shit only because none of it has any salt taste at all! I want salty salted caramel....

FakeMews · 28/02/2018 12:37

I accidentally had salted coffee today. DH had over salted the dishwasher and my mug was impregnated with salt.

MarthaArthur · 28/02/2018 12:37

Salted caramel green tea by twinings?

HobnobBob · 28/02/2018 12:40

I hate salted caramel! Everything has it on, I’m bored of it. I just want normal caramel.

bibliomania · 28/02/2018 12:41

This is where a trigger warning would have been useful.
