They were tested on
GMBHD itv
but Piers spat it out
saying it taste's like washing up liquid???

[Niamh.]

Of course Piers hated them [emoji23]

Its not just him

Loads are saying they taste like washing up liquid?

On the Radio 5 and LBC

Change a sweet to get the animal fats out
so long as the taste is OK- that common sense.

[Jake.]

Piers spat it out because he’s a ridiculous human being. I’ve had these ones before and they’re perfectly fine.

[Ammi]

....Susanna asked: "Have you ever eaten a Percy Pig?"
"No, but I'm about to eat them all the time, the old fashioned gelatine ones," he said...:laugh:...

...he’s like a child...mummy I don’t like eating that...did you ever have it..?..no but I don’t like it...maybe less washing up liquid consumption would improve the taste buds a bit...

[Ammi]

...he’s just annoyed because they’re Percy Pigs and not Percy Pumpkins...give them a vegan related name and he doesn’t seem to mind...manchild...

[Elliot]

A lot of animal based products taste god awful, sweets included. It’s really not hard to make a few candies taste nice. Not shocked the story is being run like this, especially on the sun.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Good old Piers calling out the pandering fools at M & S

...I’ve not tasted the new ..(...or old..)...washing up liquid so I doubt I’d get the comparison...it’s a silly thing to say...

It was on the Radio
this morning,


Its not SILLY
if they do taste like washing up liquid

[Crimson Dynamo]

who wants washing up liquid sweets?


:yuk:

[caprimint]

Im a MASSIVE Piers fan ,people dont like him because hes honest and straight talking, the same reason they dont like Katie Hopkins,but its the thing I admire most about them both

I agree with this

I really enjoy both of them and seeing their opinions even when I don't agree with them (like Piers here). Vegetarian sweets don't even taste any different to me. :shrug:

[chuff me dizzy]

Exactly ...God forbid Piers could have a valid point :idc:

[Ammi]

It was on the Radio
this morning,

...it’s only not silly if all the people saying so have tasted washing up liquid alongside the sweets, Arista...I would say most people haven’t tasted washing up liquid so it’s silly....saying they’re awful isn’t silly but the comparison is...


...have you tasted them btw, have you eaten some of these Percy’s...?...

No I have not, yet
but we can all smell
washing up liquid , so I fully understand
why it has the Wrong taste

[chuff me dizzy]

I agree with this

I really enjoy both of them and seeing their opinions even when I don't agree with them (like Piers here). Vegetarian sweets don't even taste any different to me. :shrug:

Ive never tried veggie sweets or these Percy sweets before or after ... But people slamming him for HIS opinion is truly pathetic ( I wonder if they did the before and after test before calling him a liar ? I doubt it very much )

[caprimint]

I love the smell of washing up liquid, so these sound amazing :clap1:

Yeah, if it was like Gemma Collins everybody would be like "QUEEN!"

:facepalm:

[Ammi]

why it has the Wrong taste

...I could only really fully understand it if I had tasted washing up liquid and decided it was unpleasant and that these sweets had the exact same taste...I guess the sales figures will say whether they’re wrong or not...the cash tills do the talking, baby...

[Crimson Dynamo]

"I would say most people haven’t tasted washing up liquid"

id say every person in the UK has on a badly rinsed cup at one time or other

[user104658]

To be fair... gelatin-free jelly sweets are universally disgusting. :umm2:

You were obviously a good person growing up. I on the other hand had to wash my mouth out with soap numerous times :laugh:

[Ammi]

...well Simon Cowell always says all publicity is good publicity so if that’s the case I would agree with you there...pop the front page up so people may buy and do their own taste test...if you decide to try them, Arista....let us know what you think...

[Ammi]

You were obviously a good person growing up. I on the other hand had to wash my mouth out with soap numerous times :laugh:

...Lord you could afford soap...?...what a well off family yours must be bots....soap was only ever a dream for me...

The original of those types of sweets are very plastic-y to begin with anyway.

I wonder how many of these people up in arms even knew what the original tasted like. :shrug:

I’m not a vegetarian, but Colin and Connie the caterpillar are both god sends and taste just as nice as gelatine based sweets.

piers morgan is a troll that tv companies take advantage of. katie hopkins is a dirty opportunist. hardly admirable ppl. they can barely be honest with themselves, never mind others

Meh, maybe they try to get the headlines sometimes but a lot of what they say (especially KT) has a lot of truth to it and well...if they're giving their opinions then that's just that.

A couple of favourites:
@piersmorgan
Mar 9
More Piers Morgan Retweeted Diane Abbott
Begum spent 4yrs actively supporting ISIS, the world’s most barbaric & inhumane terrorist organisation. Her three children all died because she chose to bring them into the despicable world she chose for herself. To now blame Britain, the country she denounced, is disgusting.

Hand-wringing idiots blaming our Home Secretary @sajidjavid for the death of Shamima Begum’s baby should be ashamed of themselves. Javid’s first duty is to protect Britain - not loathsome ISIS brides who supported terrorism & have shown no remorse for their despicable behaviour.


I know it's not relevant to the thread, but actually they just say what other people are thinking (but maybe it's not something that should be said) so I think that's an admirable quality in itself. :clap2:

Jumping on the Dumb Vegan trend

...oh my goodness people are eating blu tac as well as washing up liquid...I’m sure that can’t be a healthy diet...no wonder more are considering veganism as an alternative to those...

Surely you're not saying that you've never tried chomping a bit of blu tac Ammi. Everyone's done it once.

...it’s actually one of those things that I can’t even bear to touch...I have a blu tac phobia and that’s with new blu tac freshly in its packet...if I ever see anyone re-using it...?...I have to heavily medicated....

I have btten Bluetac lots of times

not sure why tho

But you could have a big sticky poo poo but stand up clean as as whistle without even wiping due to the washing up liquid mixed into the blue tacky poo poo.

:fan:

My cousin's colleague - they're car fitters - sat in his greasy overalls at tea break rolling a bit of blu-tak on the leg of his extremely oily overalls. Later that day he sold that bit of blu-tak as an eighth of cannabis. I'm thinking of nominating him for Dragon's Den.

The swine...reminded me of another time I was out in london when I was approached by an old rasta in soho asking me if I wanted to buy some weed..I was so happy to get some I gave the twat an extra tenner, only to unwrap the package to reveal a neatly trimmed fir tree inside....still smoked it though:joker:

Why cant M&S stop pandering to the few idiots and and leave their products alone ?

Well I'm a veggie as you know Chuff and I agree Piers was quite right,why not do BOTH varieties instead of changing them all to veggie it's quite ridiculous.:wavey: OT doesn't Susanna Reid really annoy you when she keeps butting in,lol
