The Flavour Conspiracy






For too long mid afternoon snackers have been taken advantage of by global corporations squeezing profits at the expense of our tastebuds. Yes i know this may seem like a far cry from the usual rantings and ravings we post here but previously unbeknownest to me it now appears that the relative inadequacy of flavouring in many Arnott's Shapes and other potato-related snacks (Kettle Chips you know who you are) is something of an office hot topic. And we're not the only ones outraged - as you can see Mess and Noise picked up this emerging news story too.

The conspiracy as we see it is that companies put out new products literally dripping with flavour, the sort of lick your hands between bites flavour that we all love...Then the spiralling cycle of dependence begins on products bleached of the original deliciousness. We hypothesize that once they've got people hooked on the initial seasoning levels these corporate bastards reduce these levels to make money and leave us high and dry. It's unnacceptable, it's cruel and downright profiteering. Starting today the boycott begins.

Rise Rise Rise!
