A PR company that shall remain nameless was crazy enough to send Under The Counter a jar of vegan honey the other day. Cue one of UTC’s ‘What’s the world coming to?’ rants.
Technically it wasn’t honey, but ‘honea’ – a slightly-off-but-similar spelling that would do Aldi proud. This is presumably because bees are lawyered right up to all six of their tiny insect oxters and are ready to swarm all over any makers of “bee-less vegan honey alternatives” that try to pass their product off as the genuine sweet stuff. Let’s face it, a bee with a bee in its bonnet doesn’t bear thinking about.
It was a toss-up whether the Auld Boy was upset more about honea’s actual existence in the real world or the wonky spelling.
His blood pressure had just about stabilised when the news broke that Absolut had just launched a new ‘Hunni’ flavoured vodka.
