WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?

So here I am, at my grandparents vineyard. My mama and I went to go supermarket shopping to get some food for the Easter celebrations. We were walking down the snacks aisle, after I had insisted on us buying Shapes. Who does not love a good ol' box of Arnotts Shapes to satisfy their munchies? YOM!
A favoured choice of snack amongst children of young and old, I thought that a wise purchase for tomorrow's Easter Sunday would a be a brightly orange coloured box of one of my personal favourite flavours (or one of my "flavourites", so to speak), Chicken Crimpy. Oval shaped, crimped, golden bites of chicken-y goodness. A TRUE flavour.
But as I reach for my delectable orange box, my attention is drawn to a rusty red coloured box of Shapes. A new flavour of shapes for my snacking pleasure? I thought. Hooray.

How very wrong I was.

In red lettering under the large and colourful logo of "SHAPES" was the flavour name: SAVOURY.
I was shocked, outraged. WHAT KIND OF FLAVOUR IS SAVOURY?? SAVOURY IS NOT A FLAVOUR. Such a weak excuse... at least try the conventional PLAIN, like chips do. JESUS, Arnotts, you have truly dissappointed me.
WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO that Shape flavours can now be legitimately be passed off as Savoury. What next? Bitter? Sour? Or more probable, GENERIC. Generic flavoured Shapes. Yum yum.


NOT.


Absolutely shameful, I was appalled and expressed my dissappoint rather vocally in the Rosebud Safeway.

I leave you with this; next time you feel the need to snack upon something, and it happens to be Shapes that your fancy falls upon choose Chicken Crimpy, or Pizza or even Barbeque. But, by God, do NOT choose Savoury. Don't succumb to this worlds depressing generalising ways.
