Since when did everything become "cosy"?

Perfume? Pasta?

Cosy things are country pubs, blankets, a private chat in a quiet place. Not soap. Or soup.

I agree. It’s also the ‘Cosy season’ . No, it’s winter!

I can see how a nice warming bowl of soup on a cold day could contribute to the ambient cosiness, but I'm with you on soap.

Still, could be worse, they could be spelling it 'cozy'. Grin

People are seeking comfort because of world events, plus it’s Winter, so “Cosy” is used a lot in marketing at the moment.
