There are lots of things that can be put down to personal taste, however I can’t let this abomination go.

I am referring to Branston Smooth.

I love Branston Pickle, but I can’t get on board with Branston paste. Is there a better example where a manufacturer made an updated version of a food that was objectively worse?

      Ah, that reminded me of another bizarre Guinness product I saw when I was travelling to the States.

      Guinness Lager

      Why would you have Guinness American Lager?

        They did do a really nice lager some years ago. It was a limited edition but rather good. Wish they’d bring that back instead of this crap.

        We talking about the same thing? Thin, watery, an insult to Guinness, an insult to coffee.

        This is like when Kraft bought Cadbury’s and started to do mash ups nobody wanted.

          Aha, that explains why every possible item of food has a new “Oreo” flavoured version.

          Tastes so good. Guess we are just very different people. This is an amazing drink. Ill gladly accept your share of these to prevent your horror of ever encountering these again!

        It’s Guinness branded.

        Maybe they thought that was enough. It’s proper disgusting though. Not sure what they were on when they dreamt that up 😂.
