    How is it that in every multipack of something, drinks/icy poles/yoghurt etc., there is always one flavour that sucks arse and nobody in the house wants? Carefully constructed awfulness.

      No one would buy the awful flavour otherwise. All part of the great "I know what I want to make and you just have to buy it anyway" conspiracy. God forbid that we should actually buy what WE want. Case in point - bath soap. Every supermarket in Aust stocks one million brands of liquid soap, but only (at most) 3 different kinds of bar soap. I prefer to use bar soap in the shower - and the brand I prefer is only available occasionally. It appears that other folk also prefer this brand as it sells out in approximately 3 nanoseconds when it's in stock. Then there's a wait of months before it's in stock again. So when I see it I buy up several months worth. As do the other buyers. You would think the supermarkets would keep more of it in stock more regularly, but no. They want us to buy the liquid soap instead.

      I note you have chosen not to name the specific offending flavours. Go on, be brave.

        Banana, mango, bubble gum, fairy floss, Blueberry. And strawberry. The real fruit is fine, flavouring is not.

            I’ve never had a garbage disposal before. Does your installation require a licensed plumber?

              Only if there's dairy involved, in which case a throne is required to be fitted in the immediate vicinity by a plumber. I'd advise an extractor fan. And noise cancelling headphones.

          You are my people! Banana flavoured anything is particularly foul. Mango sorbet type icy poles are alright though.

            Mango is tolerable in ‘tropical punch’ sort of things. Just. Bananas are not food and I will happily fight dissenters. Sharpened nails and hissing at 3 paces!

              Whoever decided to combine banana and dairy products, in particular, should be investigated for war crimes.
