I discovered these words in the top left hand corner whilst struggling to open a box of Ty.Phoo teabags. Highlighted in a bright yellow against the predominantly red and white background, so you were absolutely certain to see it.

Two questions.

How do you improve something that’s new?

Who the fuck falls for this shit?

” The phrase “new and improved” is a classic marketing slogan meant to trigger fast, emotional thinking and signal innovation. In reality, it often means an existing product has a minor tweak, a packaging redesign, or simply needs a psychological refresh to capture attention in a crowded market, rather than representing a revolutionary change.Why Marketers Use ItInstant Appeal: It uses positive phrasing to make buyers feel they are getting a superior, updated choice.Re-engagement: It wakes up consumers who have grown blind or indifferent to older product labels.Justifying Changes: It is frequently applied when formulas, sizes, or designs change—sometimes even when package sizes shrink while prices stay the same.”

I don’t have a link, as such, but this is copied from Google question”what does new and improved mean”
I find the end of the explanation very enlightening, especially with regards to confectionery that is marketed as “snack size” .
As opposed to what? Three-course dinner size?

New and improved teabags, FFS.

“Several athletes have disappeared after competing in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, failing to return home with the rest of their teams.

Police Scotland said it had received reports of various athletes “unaccounted for” in the aftermath of the Games, which concluded on Sunday.

The sports website NBS Sport, external said four members of the Ugandan boxing squad had not turned up to fly home, adding that one member of the team had told the website the athletes intended to seek asylum in Scotland.

Pakistan Today also reported, external that the boxer Qudratullah had not joined the rest of his team mates in flying home to Pakistan, and that he was not found in his room when officials went to search for him.”

Strange indeed.

“Following previous Commonwealth Games – including the 2014 edition also held in Glasgow – dozens of athletes went missing in the aftermath, either going on to claim asylum or simply disappearing entirely.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Police Scotland has received reports of several athletes who are unaccounted for.

“Inquiries are ongoing to assess the circumstances, and early engagement is taking place with the Home Office.”

The four missing boxers in Uganda were named by local media as Nuhu Batte, Angel Katushabe, Ibrahim Kemis and Emily Nakalema.

NBS Sports said it had spoken to one of the four missing boxers, who claimed the athletes intended to seek asylum and continue their boxing careers in a country they believed offered better training facilities and opportunities than their homeland.”

So the thinly veiled yet completely acceptable (to the Home Office) asylum claims are really about using better sporting facilities to boost their careers..

Oh and sexuâl assault of course.

Strange that our elected representatives continue to pretend we have a border…biometrics for us when we go on holiday together with taking shoes and belts off etc..

But these brave athletes do as they please.

And, it’s also the next “immense international biosecurity threat”

Another day, another apocalyptic headline. I decided to peruse same to assess the usual bullshit-to-‘threat’ ratio, but … you know what … and I’m nearly afraid to say it here .. but it was a somewhat interesting read. Am I alarmed, terrified or at in existential terror about it?

Nah.

Will it cause, scratch that, .. baselessly be used as another excuse why the price of stuff continues to rise everywhere non stop?

Probably.

I’ll leave the rest to the article itself… but here’s a taster of the language being used ..

“If you had to design a worst-case scenario, it would look a lot like this,” said Mario Tamburri, a professor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science and the study’s lead author”

The conclusion that no cunt – now forewarned – is going to do a single thing about it anyways is the icing on the cake.

In THAT regard, it’s all a bit like that other invasive situation, where the harmful horde arrive via boat that is mentioned frequently on this site.

“Organisers of Ghana Party in the Park, also known as Shattafest UK, at Copthall Playing Fields in Barnet, London, said the event was stopped following a “major incident” at about 18:00 BST on Saturday.

The Metropolitan Police said a fire had started near the gates, which meant they were closed temporarily.

A crowd built up, and there was a surge when the gates reopened, it said.

Organisers said the decision to end the festival was made on health and safety grounds.”

Possibly the most aptly named festival in years?

I think so.

Pass the chiggun.
