Seriously, was the focus group microdosing or what when they came up with this abomination? It's like Swamp Thing has come ashore in Aisle Six!
@cstross kill it with agent orange is not a great thing to joking about. Please look into what the Americans did with agent orange in Vietnam. It's caused issues that continue today... It's not a funny joke.

This needs a whole back story about a GMO scientist who caught fire and plunged into the produce section. Today he fights crime and scurvy.

@cstross @bobthomson70
as a kid i would love it.(but really: criticising even someone trying to get kids to eat their veggies is peak criticising. trying is better than not trying, and cynicism is worse than not-so-clever ideas)

@cstross They missed a trick by not going with "take and eat; this is my body" as an advertising slogan -

@cstross oh god, it looks like Baymax from Big Hero 6 suffering from a mass infection of those multicolored pulsating parasites that normally live in snails' eye stalks.

@cstross the adverts are even more deranged as the "fruit beast" is chasing children. Looks like it's made of insects to me.

@cstross I think the fruit-vegie creature is cute. The 'free fruit and veg for schools' ad though, I'm not so sure about. There are no fruit and vegs around, there are instead plushies, and those aren't free.

If it's anything like how we do things in Canada, it was probably a good initiative that would look bad politically to kill so they paid an agency that is linked to the cattle industry or sugar industry to spearhead this campaign so they made this abomination to say they did a thing but gee, it just didn't work.
In Ontario, they made the heat pump rebate program so ungodly to access it's nearly impossible. You need to follow so many steps and pay $20k upfront for the pumps. I muttered under my breath that they probably paid off someone to make the program as shitty as possible. Then I found out it's literally administered through the natural gas distributor. Open corruption is what we've got here.

@cstross I am so glad I am not the only one. I came around the corner at Tesco and felt like I walked into Oogie Boogie’s plant-based cousin. The size of it enhances the HORROR.

@chu It's 100% a campaign by the largest supermarket chain in the UK, Tesco. Not government.

I got jump scared by this opening the Tesco app to update my shopping list. Truly a terrifying visage. -

That leaves even more questions.... Like, they thought this was a good idea?
