When will this horror end? When will our favourite snacks stop being ruined?

We simply cannot take it any more.

First it was Toblerones, sneakily cut down by being transformed into chocolate toast racks. Then Freddos went up in price (again). Then kitkats went ‘healthy’.

And now, change has come to Doritos. Sweet, innocent Doritos.

Oh, and Peperami.

The Independent drew our attention to the change, reporting that ‘sharing bags’ (AKA bags you munch through on one lonely Sunday afternoon) have been reduced… Read the full story

Poor Mongkood the monkey has had a tough life.

Now Doritos are getting smaller thanks to Brexit

Poached from the wild and kept as a pet at just two years old, rescuers at the Wildlife Friends Foundation in Thailand believe the macaque monkey was forced to watch the murder of his family before he was snatched from his natural environment and sold as a pet..

Thankfully, he was rescued by WFFT and brought into the rescue centre before further damage could be done – although the poor monkey is already clearly traumatised.

We live in a time where feminism is proving to be a prominent movement that’s taken seriously and is supported by a majority of people.

Women: Here’s why I pay on the first date, and you should too

Sexism is still rife, as is misogyny, but why do gender constructs still exist when it comes to dating?

Put all that to one side for a moment and consider the parameters of the dating game and ask whether the industry is a sexist, stereotypical construct by its… Read the full story

A woman travelling through Thailand has seriously p*ssed off locals after refusing to put her ‘rancid’ feet away on a packed bus.

Narong Thaopanya, 21, was travelling over 260 miles by coach from Bangkok to Sukhothai province in northern Thailand on last week.

But his eight-hour bus ride took a turn for the worse when a blonde traveller sat in the seat behind him and put her sweaty feet on top of the chair at his side.

You can always rely on Goop to deliver unto us truly questionable health advice.

The best revenge in life is low-key revenge. When someone doesn’t text back for a day, you leave them hanging for two. If your housemate eats your leftovers, you steal their fancy shampoo.

And one woman mastered the art of subtle justice after her husband dismissed her as a mere ‘sandwich maker.’

Charming Redditor Vollkoemmenes made a poorly-timed sexist joke just when his wife was making his lunch.

Before you comment, I know.

Topshop tried to expand their sizing and it didn't go down well

We all occasionally make typos and grammatical mistakes on the internet, when we’re typing in a rush and have re-read the same chunk of text seven times.

But the difference here is that our typos are made through speedy keyboard use and easily fixed.

This grammatical offence is on a T-shirt. It was written out, printed on a T-shirt, and was seen by many, many people before it was put on sale.

So how on earth did Topshop manage to sell a T-shirt with a missing apostrophe on it without,… Read the full story

Ice cream sandwiches are a truly glorious thing.

Handheld. Easily portable. The joy of ice cream and some form of biscuit.

And there are so many ways to improve upon their simple, brilliant design.

You can replace the biscuits with doughnuts, top your ice cream sandwiches with chocolate, or just buy a second one once you’re done with your first.

Or you can get fancy and swap out regular cookies for macarons.

That’s the route Sammie, the creator of Yolkin, has gone down, and we totally get why. Because not… Read the full story

For years, Topshop has done sh*t-all in the way of clothing above a size 16.

But this year, they’ve quietly started adding larger sizes to their collections.

Now Doritos are getting smaller thanks to Brexit

Which should be a good thing – except Topshop messed up by failing to actually add any true plus-size pieces, simply adding in some tops and dresses available in a size 18.

That’s right. A size 18. One size up from the stuff they’ve been selling for all this time.

So if you’re above a size 18, Topshop simply isn’t bothered about providing you with clothing.

That would be bad enough. But as… Read the full story

Considering the widespread disgust and horror at the idea of period sex, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that people are intensely grossed out by the concept of going down on someone who’s menstruating.

After all, if they’re too freaked out to put their penis in a vagina that’s shedding its lining, they’re likely going to get a bit funny about putting their mouth around one, too.
