Me too. They're half price in Tesco and still waaaay over priced for what is essentially a couple of vegetables in curry sauce and a handful of rice.

i bought some sausage and bean pasties from the Coop on saturday. not very glam or young and funky you'd think, but the packaging was still covered with shite like "savoury deliciousness" and god knows what else.
unless we take steps to deal with these people now, it's only a question of time before the BBC starts to read the news like this. apart from on BBC3 i mean.

I detect the unmistakable whiff of the advertising professional. "As a middle-aged straight guy buying specialist kit, I want to feel that my chosen product is technically robust, professionally made and packed with practical features." I mean, who says this? Also, tl;dr
Some good links, though
If you want a vision of the future, imagine our silly old wellies squishing and squashing the face of a tiny lickle baby for quite a long time. Yummy!

Yeah that chimes w/this, which is OTM:
I guess we all have days when we’d like to return to our childhoods, which accounts for the disarming appeal of wackywriting. But growing up isn’t all sunnyshine and wowwipops. It’s also a time of total dependence, fear and confusion – and, overridingly, a time of being told what to do. One way or another, a child spends most of their time being controlled.As Nick points out, copywriting is not a one-on-one conversation between equals. A brand – a business – is ‘speaking’ to a mass audience of actual and potential customers. Rather than a conversation, copywriting is more like ‘a monologue conducted above a million solitudes’, as Albert Camus defined dictatorship. That’s why we can’t really ‘talk’ to a brand, any more than we can talk to a film or a book.A brand speaks unilaterally, and it does so to achieve a clearly defined outcome. The tone of voice or the visual style may do a very good job of obscuring it, but that’s the underlying mechanic. Like the parent, the brand speaks in order to control....Wackywriting embodies the dilemma of the liberal middle classes: material privilege, and unease over that privilege, glossed over with affected bohemianism and faux-naïveté. Hopelessly compromised by power and possessions, we long to return to the garden, but can’t pass through the eye of the needle. We’re guilty, but we wish we were, yes, innocent.
