Was thinking about Mr Brains Pork Faggots and how amazed I am that they still have a market. What other strange British products are there that have been around for years that nobody appears to buy?

> I always wonder who buys the cooked and mashed potatoes, rather than just buying potatoes. Not to be rude but this is absolutely a poverty mindset lmao I was brought up very working class, it was drummed into me from such a young age to never ever ever buy anything pre-prepared that you could make yourself because only a mug would ever do that and you'll be ripped off No matter where or when. Family day out at the zoo? They have a cafe do they? Nope it'll be a rip off, we got some squished soggy jam sandwiches in the coolbag Now I'm older with a semi-decent job it's taken me an embarassingly long time re-evaluate this position. I finally realised that my time has value and that actually if I can use that time to be better at my job or even just do nothing but de-stress and manage my mental health, it might just be worth spending that extra 50p every now and then (the horror) I kept walking past the prepared mash potatoes like "what kinda lazy person would buy this. I bet it's super expensive!". One day I finally looked at them. They're like £1. Oh. Well I bet the ingredients are really weird! I bet it's not even real butter and they add loads of sugar and preservatives and weird chemicals! Let me check the ingredients real quick! > INGREDIENTS: Potato (81%), Skimmed Milk, Butter (Milk), Salt, White Pepper. Oh I still don't really but it because old habits die hard, but I do buy a lot more pre-prepared stuff than I used to
