Sainsbury's is trying to ruin Father's Day for everyone

Every now and then a British supermarket ruins everyone's lives.

Sainsbury's is not infrequently the culprit. It's divisive #LittleTwists initiative has sparked uproar in the past - largely due to its (now rescinded) instant coffee in bolognese idea.

The state of it.

To be fair, the supermarket giant's other recipes haven't been so bad. A dollop of mustard in chicken soup, a dash of pesto in sausage and veg stew. Fine, these aren't groundbreaking, but at the very least they're palatable.

But this Father's Day, Sainsbury's has once again dipped its orange toes into the slippery pool of culinary tedium. Channeling Elvis, the brand has encouraged youngsters and mums (presumably) to "treat dad" with a peanut butter and bacon buttie.

Pardon?

Let's take a step back. In the US, such fusions are scooped up with aplomb - some even add cheese to the mix, or Nutella.

Yes, many Americans (and, perhaps, some Brits), revel in nutty pork - after all, peanuts and pigs are friends in other areas of gastronomy. Look east.

But this latest #LittleTwist is a dangerous game to play.

And fathers across the country were worrying up until Sunday about being delivered a rather upsetting sandwich (and getting pretty sweary).

Gavlarr78 (strong name, solid name) really isn't keen on the idea.

Nor is Simon, who isn't isn't holding back.

Trefor is emotional.

And Paul here, fearing for his very existence.

Heretics though.

Jon is concerned about the possible health implications.

Classic Dan.

Elvis died young.

Possibly not, Malcolm. But Tim Peake is! :)

This tide of jarred anguish has no end.

No. Nobody can cope with their bacon sandwiches being tarnished by peanut butter.

Somebody should call the police.

Because things are getting drastic. Like, really serious.

...

Poor Carl.
