Squirtable food. Why?

[slowmotion]

Stand the tin in warm water first. Squirty Golden Syrup, heathen

Golden Syrup just isn't the same if you don't have to declare some kind of "sticky exclusion zone" around it in the kitchen cupboard.

Teeth will have come entirely redundant.

I can't think of a squirty product I would have once chewed. Did you used to eat ketchup by the slice?

My granddad told the story of when he was a little boy and alone in the house, he wanted to make something to eat. It was very frosty outside and someone had left the syrup tin sitting beside the window and it was really thick due to the cold so he closed the lid down tight and set it on the fire to warm up....he never did that again....

Do you like watered down beer too?

I don't like beer in the first place.

Got through a whole packet of toothpicks afterwards too.

That aerosol cream IS full of air. If you leave it for a while it breaks down into something like cream mixed into water. The nozzle also has to be washed after use. If you don't, the next time you use it you'll find the nozzle full of black fungus.

In all fairness, any whipped cream is full of air. The squirty stuff is lower fat, and that's why it won't stay whipped.
And yes, the black mouldy nozzle is pretty bad.

For some reason I keep thinking of Miss Goodbody whenever someone mentions squirty golden syrup. Help me!

Maybe it all started with aerosol cream all those years ago.

What has sudocrem got to do with squirty food?

Even Marmite has succumbed to this abomination.

There seems to be a creeping, deeply unpleasant tendency for sauces to come in squirtable form. Mustard was the first to go, followed by mint sauce. Presumably it's a great wheeze for the manufacturers because they can claim that they need to add more water to make their stuff runny. I went to get a pot of Marmite earlier this evening. That's gone squirtable too. There's a repulsive rubber sphincter on the nozzle.

Is there any way of fighting back against this trend? I know that kindergarten pupils like squirty food, but do we all have to be subjected to this infantilism?

It the beginning of long slow process to adapt the human race for space travel.

We'll all be buying personal immersion tanks too soon, you'll see.

The worst has got to be cheese. It was of course the Americans that invented it.

 

[Tin Pot]

Squeezy cheesy peas, now in new strawberry flavour!

I suspect some, if not all of it, will be to do with the cost of materials, carriage, storage and in the case of glass, breakages.

the only thing that has confused me here is brown sauce on chips??

I went to Torbay a couple of weeks ago and I can fully understand that you are confused.
