Sainsbury’s is trying to ruin Father’s Day for everyone – and people aren’t happy
Their bizarre 'little twist' for the traditional bacon sandwich has left dads across the nation reeling
SAINSBURY'S has been accused of trying to ruin Father's Day - by suggesting people should make their dads bacon butties with PEANUT BUTTER.
As part of its #LittleTwists advertising campaign, which encourages shoppers to add unusual ingredients to traditional recipes such as coffee in bolognese sauce, the supermarket posted its latest recommendation on Twitter earlier this week.
Aren't people aren't happy about it.
Alongside a video, Sainsbury's tweeted: "Treat Dad like a king this #FathersDay by adding peanut butter to his bacon buttie."
Seriously, what were they thinking?
Naturally dads across the country were outraged by the suggestion, and took to social media to voice their disgust.
One particularly angry chap didn't mince his words, tweeting in response: "You may as well s*** in the frying pan before you put the bacon in. Stop f*****g about with food. Peanut butter and bacon? Err, no."
Another commented: "Anyone who ruins either my bacon butty or my peanut butter sarny by 'crossing the streams' will pay a heavy price indeed."
A terrified father tweeted: "I'd think they were trying to kill me by adding peanut butter!! Yuk."

Another dad made a pretty harrowing threat: " I would disown my child if they did this.";
Meanwhile one made a good point: " get in the f*****g sea you b******s. This is the sort of thing that killed Elvis."
A little less conversation from this chap, who simply wrote: " sounds f****** vile."
In fairness to the supermarket, some of their 'little twists', such as a dollop of mustard to add a kick to a bowl of chicken soup and a spoonful of pesto in sausage and vegetable stew, haven't been too bad.
Hardly groundbreaking, but not downright spiteful like this sordid suggestion.
Let's hope the children of Britain saw sense and reached for the brown sauce.
