Christmas Gingerbread hummus has gone down as well as you’d expect – our 11 favourite reactions
As Christmas nears, shoppers know to brace themselves for the onslaught of tenuous links being exploited to fleece the stressed masses. Examples might include Christmas-themed toilet rolls – because who doesn’t want to wipe their arse on a penguin? – or Christmas spice-scented washing-up liquid, so you can crave pudding as you clean those plates, but this year’s best contender for worst product is …gingerbread hummus.

This is an abomination before God and man and should be condemned in the harshest terms possible. I call on all Jews, Arabs, Kurds, Persians and other peoples of the Middle East to unite and protest this assault on our shared culinary heritage 👇 https://t.co/aXCxFE79Qs

It's not even gingerbread hummus – it's "inspired by gingerbread" hummus. What does that even mean? They stick a gingerbread person in the kitchen encouraging the chick peas to do better?
