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?
I'm in the US. On my last trip to the grocery store I saw that the Mt Olive brand is now selling pickle juice as its own separate product. They had little shot sized bottles and big liter jugs of it. Someone had the actual nerve to market this as a "sports drink".
It's literally on the same shelf right next to the pickles, and cost nearly twice as much.
That sounds grim.
