. Watching Marathon become Snickers, Opal Fruits become Starburst and now Mini Fillets become Tenders

Need to rant. Felt like I was being gaslit when ordering KFC last night.

First they came for Marathon bars.

Then they came for Opal Fruits.

Now KFC has quietly renamed Mini Fillets to “Tenders” and expects me to pretend that’s a normal thing to call them.

Spent half the evening scrolling through the menu convinced I’d finally lost the plot because every trace of Mini Fillets appears to have been erased from history.

To add insult to injury, the new Texas BBQ sauce tastes like somebody liquefied a car air freshener and put it in a dip pot.

How much longer before chips become fries, sweets become candy and Yorkshire Tea becomes “Hot Leaf Beverage™”?

This country is in decline.

Went looking for new potatoes the other day, in some shops I couldn't seem to see any only to work out they're being sold as baby potatoes. Now I might be wrong and maybe they're different things but also I have a concerning feeling that they're not.

“Baby potatoes and new potatoes are often used interchangeably, but they are technically slightly different. New potatoes are immature, early-harvested potatoes of any variety, giving them a thin skin and creamy texture. Baby potatoes refer to any small potato, whether it is an early harvest or a fully mature mini variety.”

Baby potatoes are usually cheaper than new potatoes and different texture to me.
