This is a general, but non-politics, account covering everything from computer programming to supermarket meal deals; any politics will be taken up by @JdeBP.

I suspect that children are going to take to #Tesco's #TheFruitGiant. The advertising so far picks up and runs with the gruesomeness of the character and it has a certain sort of #RoaldDahl appeal, including 'A big giant did it and ran away!' and 'Oy! Fruitface!'.

At this point, I recommend a short story by #RoaldDahl titled "The Sound Machine". It's collected in More Tales Of The Unexpected, amongst other places.
The story was published in 1949. Botanical science finally caught up with fiction in 2023.
