With all the hoo-ha surrounding disposable vapes, Under The Counter was intrigued to discover what Britain’s favourite vape juice flavour was.
He wasn’t really, but someone at ICE Headshop had gone to the bother of asking 2,000 UK adults, so he thought it would be rude not to give the results a swatch.
The answer to this burning question is strawberry, favoured by 13% of the nation’s vapers.
What astounded UTC, however, was that it topped a list of more than 7,000 other flavours – or roughly one for every TV channel currently available in the UK.
This degree of choice is a source of great anguish for UTC, whose evenings in front of the box seem to consist of a vexed 30 minutes flicking through the programme guide before hurling the remote at the Sky box and storming off to bed.
Putting the Auld Boy’s tantrums to one side, the survey also asked vapers which new flavour they’d like to try. This threw up some interesting results, with the top 10 including fresh cut grass, dog treats, leather and jellied eels. Yum.
More worrying yet, the list was topped by Christmas tree flavour, picked by 12% of respondents.
This frankly bizarre finding had UTC wondering if vapers had completed the survey while inhaling something you’d be more likely to find in an Amsterdam coffee shop than a c-store.
