Ok fair enough, you can divide products into virtuous (say a cauliflower) and naughty (chocolate) but these products?
Er.. it’s a sin to use air freshener? Is the implication that taking a shit is a bit naughty? Depends where we guess.
It’s saintly to use cheap sex toys and a sin to buy a book about cakes? WHAT EVEN IS THIS?
Let’s go LIVE over to Twitter for some public reactions:

I saw one walking past Poundland the other day where it was Saint: DVD of Fifty Shades and a box of Milk Tray, Sinner: DVD of Ali G in Da House and a bag of peanuts. These both sound like AWFUL experiences

Although there is this good news – looks like the advertising works
I literally had no idea that poundland sold sex toys. I feel like I must visit there now
