Crappy Gingerbread Man
September 20th, 2005 at 20:36
The other day, before “Black Friday“, I wrote a post that was different to the usual- I had a bit of a rant about politics. Since, I’ve had two pieces of positive feedback about it. Admittedly, one was from someone who isn’t going to complain about what I write, but the other was a genuine person “enjoying” (his words) what I’d written. The interesting thing is, despite the fact that this time next week, I’ll be learning-up politics at University, I’ve neglected to write about anything political until this point. This positive feedback has changed things.
I’m going to do the clichéd blog thing and tackle the big issues- nobody will care about my opinion, as I’m not an “opinion former”, nor Maddox. But still, I’m going to rant on. Tonight I’m going to talk about a subject very close to my heart- poorly produced novelty biscuits.
Look at this! Look! It’s a gingerbread man from Sainsburys and it’s terrible.
Just by looking at the thing, you can clearly see the lack of effort that was put into making it. The icing on the face is sloppily applied- skewed to the right, as if someone has just casually brushed over it, sans care and attention. The Smarties on top, too – badly done. Newsflash for the bakermonkey – they’re supposed to be buttons, not hideous over-sized warts.
I mean, I know Sainsburys are still making tiny profits in businessland and probably need to cut costs, but surely they should concentrate on the food first. Try Something New Today? Not if it lacks as much effort as this!
Based on this one experience with a Sainsburys product, and despite having ate and enjoyed it, I’m going to condemn Sainsburys and their “look at us, we charge high prices because we have high quality stuff” as bullshit…
Y’know how Sainsbury’s charge higher prices than their rivals, as they claim to be a “quality” focused supermarket, at least compared to Asda and so on? That’s bullshit.
I suppose the silver lining to all of this is that I’ve got a grand total of 332 Nectar points – 100 for signing up, 200 bonus for some reason, and 32 earn’t by spending £16 in store. That’s only 50,168 to go until I can get a digital camera. (I need to spend another £25084 in store).
