My friend is home visiting family in Ballyclare and just sent me this photo of the pickled onion range available at her local shop 😂

Is it just me or are the jars in Ballyclare all lopsided now? They look like a row of Frenchmen in little berets
@TheBreadmonkey This is very confusing, these as reviewed by @theaardvark appear to have the same name from a different company, or perhaps it’s a rebrand:

The pickle naming industry is chaos
That's very weird!
@TheBreadmonkey @theaardvark It could just be that Ass Blasters and Ring Stingers are open source onions.
@TheBreadmonkey @theaardvark Hiring a private investigator to look into the links between the Funky Food Co and the Chucklinh Cheese Co as we speak.

@Nickiquote @TheBreadmonkey
Definitely different companies. Funky Food Co is a small local producer in South Staffs. Been around for 15 - 20 years I think.
There's a very definite rip off happening there. Feels like if we unravelled it there would be a conspiracy that runs straight to the heart of the government.
There could be many layers to it. Like a... like.... oh, I'm sure there's an analogy somewhere.
@theaardvark @TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote oh gees oh gees does this mean there needs to be litigation where a judge has to decide on who owns the IP? 'M'lud , 'ring stingers' is a generic term applied to any number of products, including but not limited to picked onions'.
@theaardvark @TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote 'it is our contention that not only did we copyright the term 'ring stingers' for use in snacking onions some years ago, the bench will agree that our product truly does sting your ring, meaning our description is uniquely apt'.
@PipGowenlock @theaardvark @Nickiquote
Where would pickled onions sit on the cake or biscuit debate
@TheBreadmonkey @theaardvark @Nickiquote they wouldn't sit. They would roll about, covering everything in their fart primer.
@TheBreadmonkey Someone on here does pickled onion reviews and may have covered these. Also, I’m from Ballyclare!
@TheBreadmonkey Give them to meeeeeeee!!!! 😍
