“Like melkterts and Springboks, but why is this a 'big deal'? Why is having cinnamon stencilled on top suddenly so-considered 'game changer' that's going to redeem PnP from all their years of descending bad quality, price, and lack of customer service? I've seen Woolies and Spar do this every year for Christmas. I've seen homemade goods do it. Idk... meh. By the above logic, any terrible entity can slap on some decorative aesthetic, and we can just 'omg I've JUDGED you too harshly for all the bad things you did, but because you made effort to decorate I'm going to not hold you accountable but give you benefit of the doubt" Whoop whoop!”
