My Lovely Housemate Julian and His brand gullibility

Julian is, in many respects, the perfect housemate. Kind, gentle, generous, an amazing chef and man of God.

However Julian likes to buy new and exciting versions of exisitng brands. They are magic to him, sparkling with excitement and 'brave new world' possibility.

However, frequently these new brands are, quite honestly dreadful.

Exhibit A: Muller yogurt Cheesecake flavours. Very nice on their own, when flavoured with aneamic and salty bits of biscuit, awaful

Exhibit B. Lemon and Lime Jaffa ckes: Leaving aside the great nevil road jaffa controversy (cake or biscuit?) these are truly, momumentally disgusting in every way. Not only do they test ones intestinal fortitude, they pollute the entire biscuit tin with their foul odour. a disaster.

However in Julians favour

Exhibit C: The milk chocolate caramel hobnob: Delectable.

Honestly, if it aint broke don't fix it

This road can lead to bad places. It is still unproven, but a widely held belief in conspiracy circles, that clear Colas may have contributed to the first Gulf War. Think about it.

all of you who post positively on the brand cross over phenomena have, quite clearly in my view, never had the misfortune to taste the purest evil that is a lime jaffa cake.

I will henceforth be putting a restrictive code for commenting which will only allow comment from the knowledgeable in this area

(Stuggle) But... (Gasp) ... I ... (Strangle) ... okay... (Deep breath) I BOUGHT BLACKBURRANT JAFFA CAKES THE OTHER DAY AND I REALLY LIKED THEM! I ATE THE WHOLE PACKET!

Lime? Wouldn't touch 'em with a barge pole.

Phil C said...

I, of course, meant BLACKCURRANT.

Shouting does my elocution few favours.
