What the feck is a custard STYLE donut? How can it be custard STYLE and not simply custard?

  1. I got these the other day, and Jesus, they’re absolutely disgusting.

  2. Because they have custard *flavour* filling, and not actual custard.

  3. Mmm legally distinctive. It’s along the same vein as “chocolate flavoured sauce” that I’ve seen before.

  4. Must have taken a lot of effort at quality control to approve ‘really tasty’ on those.

  5. Should have got the jam ones. When they’re fresh they’re really nice, I’ll bosh the whole pack in five minutes.

  6. They, or judging by the spelling skills some American mass producer, will have put cheap chemicalised crap that can’t legally be classed as custard in as the filling so they’ve got to find a way round that while still making you want to buy them.

  7. Because custard doughnuts would have to have actual custard in them. These’ll have some other yellow goop.

  8. If you investigate the ingredients list, you’ll see that they are now vegan. Most of the other supermarkets have also made the switch, and they also say custard ‘style’ filling on the label, so I assume that because it doesn’t actually use eggs or dairy they probably can’t call it custard.

  9. That’s your fault for buying food from Asda and expecting it to be anything other than grim
