An advert that has a regular pepperoni pizza, regular waffle fries and a garlic dip shown with four small autumn leaves and the slogan โ€˜Helping you make Halloween SPOOKYโ€™. Itโ€™s utter rubbish.

The winner of โ€˜weโ€™ll say the word spooky but do f all extra for thisโ€™ award goes to this distinctly underwhelming Halloween campaign ad by Tesco

Itโ€™s literally just pizza, waffle fries and a dip.

Ooh, itโ€™s really wound me up ๐Ÿ˜†

Screenshot of a Wikipedia page for James Price. The text says he was an English chemist and alchemist who claimed to be able to turn mercury into silver or gold. One challenge to perform the conversion a second time in front of credible witnesses, he instead killed himself by drinking prussic acid.

That's ever so kind of you to say so. I was lucky to get those wonderful thoughtful quotes from Richard Palmer-James.

A dog sits near a tall shoe rack filled with various types of shoes in a room with wooden flooring. All shoes are stacked on high shelves, out of the dogโ€™s reach.

Within her painting studio, artist Klaire Lockheart, wearing a tiara, several necklaces, bracelets, and rings on every finger, laughs at her own joke. She sits in front of an oil painting titled the Grande Brodalisque and a small suitcase.
