Soreen Toast Me's - aghhhhhhh!

[FeedMeAndTellMeImPretty]

Just leaving this here as I know you will all appreciate it:

Oh FFS! Where did you see this abomination?

That's horrific. I used to love Soreen .

How does something like that happen? It's not down to a greengrocer with a stick of chalk - that package was presumably designed, approved and manufactured.

This leads me to suspect that it was deliberate - free advertising as internet pedants post, point and laugh... and think, mmm but they do look yummy...

Dreadful. How did this get past the marketing department and a graphic design agency?

Omg's i's going's to's get's even's fatter's

Errol, you cynic! I suspect you're right, but I couldn't resist posting it here anyway.

Now I'm going to have to eat them all so that I can dispose of the packaging.

Another reason, if one were needed, to avoid Soreen.

(Although I expect I'll end up buying it as Dh and ds love it)

Emz, I bought them in Waitrose!

I'm just wondering why on earth they persisted with this name. I can just imagine the conversation around the table,

Soreen head-honcho "So we're all agreed on the name Toast Me?"

Ex-greengrocer employee "But there are 4 a pack, so it just looks like Toast Mes. Let's put an apostrophe in."

Someone with vague grasp of grammar but still confused about how to actually write this abomination of a name "Plurals don't need apostrophes. How about making the s smaller and putting the rest in capitals?"

Head-honcho "Let's do both, just to make sure. Who gives a fuck if it's grammatically correct?"

:o
They didn't bloody have any in Sainsbury's

My dd's homework included the use of an apostrophe to denote a plural. "Write about the [noun]'s and why they might have become extinct ". I just wanted to share that with the group.

Did you respond to the teacher on that Yawn?! Ugh.

Good god! My eyes just vomited!

Sorry, my eye's just vomited.

I am mulling over my response. Any suggestions?

Send the teacher a link to this thread!

They taste absolutely horrid as well.

I would just put a red ring around the offending apostrophe, Yawnyawnallday. Assuming it will be returned to the same teacher for marking, of course.

2legit, nice idea.

Reporting this thread. It needs some kind of warning. I can't I see that.

unsee

Garth, I did originally put a trigger warning in the title but I removed it as I thought some humourless twat would come on here and tell me off for it!
