Some people are absolutely LIVID that Tesco are only going to sell straight croissants
The might of the consumer has been felt in another major victory, as Tesco say they will now only sell straight croissants, reports The Guardian.
Apparently demand for the traditionally crooked croissants has fallen and 85% of British consumers now prefer straight ones due to their optimised “spreadability factor” and a sense that they are somehow more sophisticated.
Never mind the Brexit, the logistical nightmare of spreading something on a curve is clearly the most important talking point of the day.
This is so funny: Brits can't handle the 'logistical challenge' of spreading a croissant. pic.twitter.com/BoWNr0d4hA

Clearly one person’s “optimised spreadability factor” is another’s “you lazy curve-dodging bastard” as #croissantgate has caused mild to medium outrage on Twitter.
Hey @Tesco REAL CROISSANTS HAVE CURVES. #croissantgate

As a nation, we aspire to 50% of people going to university, yet we find curved croissants intolerably difficult. https://t.co/ooJYfGKcSJ

Tesco's straight croissant should be called the droissant. (Sorry only for French speakers).

@Tesco maybe you can make your cucumbers straighter to fit up the arses of the idiots who came up with a straight croissant #croissantgate

And what about people who enjoy fruit with their French breakfast snacks? Fuck them, that’s what.
The worst part of #croissantgate is the lady who told the BBC she preferred them curved so they were perfect to "put a banana in"
