I bought a box of Baumann’s Shortbread Biscuits from a local online supermarket to try out.
I know the box says Shortbread and that they are a “Delicious Shortbread Treat” but I’m pretty sure these are used in hell to torment anyone Scottish.
So why do I think this is a wonderful reflection of all that is wrong on planet earth in 2020?
Marketing Lies & Deception
No butter was harmed in the making of this “shortbread”. If you look up what defines shortbread you’ll get something along the lines of
Shortbread is a traditional Scottish biscuit usually made from one part white sugar, two parts butter, and three parts plain wheat flour.

Taste like marketers integrity
I find modern marketing leaves a taste as bad as these “Delicious “Shortbread” Treats” in my mouth. Now I understand word’s like delicious, bad & disgusting are subjective. Just imagine, you are a fan of shortbread and have even gone to some trouble to make some in the past, now someone says they have a “Delicious Shortbread Treat” for you, just close your eyes and then they shove one of these into your mouth. I’m pretty sure you’ll have the closest sense of Golem’s torment when he lost “his precious”.
The marketing wanketeers who lie and deceive us with word’s like shortbread and delicious should be forced to eat these delcious morsel’s with their tea for eternity. It will certainly feel like eternity.
How do we expect to find truth and for our kids to appreciate the meaning of words when marketer bastardize language & meaning constantly.
