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 โ€œI know what I want to make and you just have to buy it anywayโ€ 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 itโ€™s in stock. Then thereโ€™s a wait of months before itโ€™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.

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