Is there any better example of a food that doesn't deserve to exist? (self.casualuk)

There are lots of things that can be put down to personal taste, however I can't let this abomination go.

I am referring to Branston Smooth.

I love Branston Pickle, but I can't get on board with Branston paste. Is there a better example where a manufacturer made an updated version of a food that was objectively worse?

I'm hoping this is an American. I can't even imagine taking a huge spoonful thinking it's blackcurrant jelly.

It looks like "stoop" and I'm Dutch. So I expected high octane sugar... It was not. To this day I'm convinced it it made from the gunk thats left after refining oil.

They call it yeast extract.

What they don't admit is. Yeast it the nickname of an incontinent factory worker.
