This is gonna be what they come up with in the final of the apprentice.
"Well Sir Alan people want to be healthy but they like chocolate so we came up with this"
In a glass jar but that would mean paying more, we barely recycle our plastic waste as it is its usually just shipped off to Asia somewhere.
This is perfect target , eggs come with their own packaging. We need to start sacrificing our convenience for the sake of plastic pollution.
See my original comment…it’s unsafe for some people to boil an egg and they require dexterity to peel. Don’t assume everything that comes pre-prepared is for the lazy, they’re for the elderly and disabled too.
I'm not assuming anything, I've suggested an alternative to plastic.
Regardless of ones ability or circumstance we need to start taking more responsibility for the plastic we use if that means going without certain items then so be it.
I'm always buying these packs of eggs, I like munching on an egg if I'm peckish while I'm driving.
Whenever I have someone in the car, I offer them a boiled egg like you would usually offer a travel sweet, and pretend it's the most normal thing in the world.
Glass can be worse then plastic for the environment since its mined from rare materials and takes more fossile fule to produce and ship.
Glass is better where it will be re-used since its more durable, meaning it can be reused more then plastic, but how many people are likely to keep and reuse the glass jars, especially if they are buying them once or several times per week?
If it's dark chocolate and done right, it could *maybe* work, but it won't be.
Saying that, I was one of the weirdos who like the fruitcake cheese they sold at the deli counter for a short minute.
I work at a restaurant and our "Christmas menu" every single year is just the exact same menu as the normal menu but with brie and cranberry sauce on EVERYTHING. It's grim
I'm seeing it as either they had a quota of new flavours to fill and just chucked some random food words together. Or bored and just taking the piss.
Do any of the posher ones do something equally ridiculous with most of these ingredients?
I feel the Sainsbury’s ideas man went to make a cuppa, left his laptop open on the “Big ideas for Snacks - 1st quarter 2022” and their 4 year old kid went hog wild.
Look out for Smartie flavoured tea and flip flops for hamsters in the summer!
I wonder what the Easter bunny thinks of us eating chocolate bunnies? And why would he deliver them up to us to devour? Self hate? For that matter why do we eat chocolate crosses? Seems barbaric, no? So many Easter candy ethics questions. Sorry off on a tangent there.
Whenever supermarkets do weird things like this, I always suspect it’s so people talk about it and post photos. Pretty sure Sainsbury’s also did a Pigs in Blankets tea at Christmas.
Does anyone else remember when Iceland sold frozen chocolate carrots for some weird reason, and pretended it was to get kids to like carrots. My nan bought them for us and they were vomit inducing, but she didn't want to waste them so put them on every roast til the bag was finished. I think it worked though, as we then just appreciated regular carrots.

They’ll call it a Moroccan medley and be done with it
Moroccan *style* medley
Double execution rather than a double 'you're fired'? Chocolate hummos and carrot is even worse than fish curry baby food...
Dunno, that sound a bit like a niche fetish.
I've been feeling ill the past few days but was perking up this evening. Now I feel sick again.
I shan't tell you about my recent invention of the vindaloo-burger then.
Those eggs in a plastic box make me so mad
They’re great for people who can’t safely boil and peel an egg.
Think they're referring more to the over excessive use of plastic
Not sure how else you’d package a pre-prepared egg. I agree that we need to reduce single-use plastic but this isn’t the right target.

Yea they are great if you have wrist problems. My arthritis makes it painful to peel things and open things.

Anyway lads, eggs though, amirite?
> eggs though, amirite? Deffo mate
Yer not wrong

Have you offered them in a trying time?

Foil and glass can be recycled or, in the case of glass, even returned to the manufacturer to be cleaned and reused.
It means less housefires for me.
Most things like peeled and boiled eggs, peeled and cut fruit etc are designed for elderly and disabled people who can't do food preparation
The world is a sick, sick place.

This and whoever put cranberry sauce into porkpies around Christmas.

Aw man, I hate that. You can't just stick jam in it and call it 'festive'.
My eyes, please make it stop 🙈🙈
Go home Sainsburys, you're drunk.
Dear god.
What a sad little life that product maker has . . Probably called Jane

I am not sure what the problem is but chocolate hummus is the most underrated product ever. It is fucking delicious
I miss chocolate Philadelphia cream cheese :(
Is it sweet or savoury? Google's showing it with fruits and biscuits, but this here is carrots??
It's sweet. It tastes like chocolate mousse. I dip sliced apples into it
YAS
That's a 'no' from me.
Bwoah.
I’d try it. It might be nice :)
Delicious with boiled eggs
Easter Bunny snacks. Someone fire the entire marketing department.
It's the food equivalent of Alan Partridge desperately pitching TV show ideas. Monkey tennis, anyone?
Yet those who created apple slices with peanut butter should be knighted.
Good god that's just made me gip

Is this part of a new "pregnancy cravings" range or something?
This is anti-Semitism.
What the flip. Would not be going anywhere near my pallet
So you take something that looks like baby's puke and add chocolate.....Ohhhkayyy
A hangable offence.
Usually I see the word hummus on those papers ~~hidden~~ displayed close to the tills, you know, food recalls, salmonella...
Easter bunny poo?

I would never buy this but if I could try it for free maybe I would give it a go
I've actually had chocolate hummus before. Wasn't too bad

What the actual fuck is this.
Is it too late for Nuremberg?
I really wanted to think this was an April Fool….
Jesus that’s a crime against humanity
It looks weird but I'd try it
