Ketchup and mustard banned
Everyone’s favourite Italian-American restaurant, Frankie and Benny’s has today announced that it is banning guests from using any condiments and is removing them from all of its restaurants across the UK.
As of today Frankie & Benny’s is shaking up its dine-in offering, with guests no longer finding traditional condiments – including ketchup, mayonnaise or even salt and pepper – at their tables or even available to request when they sit to dine.
Instead, they’ll find “No Condiments” signs dotted around restaurants alongside an all-new menu which includes a message that reads “Please note this is a No Ketchup Zone – we do not have condiments in restaurants from the 1st April”
And for those thinking about ‘dipping’ into their pockets or bags and using their own sauce, don’t bother. Staff across all 96 Frankie & Benny’s restaurants will be confiscating any condiments seen, returning them to guests as they leave the restaurant.
These new measures are being taken to encourage people to relish the moment and enjoy the true flavour of some of the restaurant brand’s latest dishes including Southern Fried Chicken starter, Chicken & Prawn Alfredo and Halloumi Wrap.
Pineapple on pizza banned
The age-old pineapple on pizza debate has officially come to a head; Deliveroo has today announced that it will ban pineapple on all pizza ordered from the food-delivery platform. The decision is being backed by a cohort of top Italian restaurants on Deliveroo including Pizza Express, Pizza Pilgrims and Bella Italia, who support the move to put a stop to orders of ‘Hawaiian’ style pizzas.
Deliveroo’s move to scrap the dish from the app comes following a recent study by Yougov, which revealed Italians believe adding pineapple to pizza is not just unacceptable but practically a crime against Italian cuisine.
The controversial topic of pineapple on pizza has sparked a wide debate on social media for many years, with people on Twitter suggesting that if 2020 had been a pizza, it would have had pineapple on it. Back in 2017, British Chef Gordon Ramsay also publicly claimed that pineapple does not belong on pizza. He wasn’t wrong.
Surprisingly, Deliveroo has revealed that Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day are the most popular days for customers to order Hawaiian pizza, which proves that pineapple pizza eaters love to break tradition. Despite this, the company wants to nip it in the bud before the scandalous food-affair escalates further, no matter the appetite for the debatable combo.
Deliveroo’s Chief Business Officer for the UK and Ireland, Carlo Mocci, is supportive of the decision. Mocci said: “As a proud Italian, I am passionate that pineapple does not belong on a pizza. With more than 160,000 restaurants available to order from on our app, there are millions of different meals to choose from that do not involve putting pineapple on pizza. It’s great to see multiple leading Italian restaurant partners take a stand against the food faux-pas.”
Whatsmore, despite the name of the dish, the origin of pineapple on pizza did not come from the US island state of Hawaii, it came from Canada; which comes as no surprise that the Canadian President Justin Trudeau admitted to being “team pineapple”. A decision he might regret considering some of the UK’s most-loved Italian restaurants back the ban.
Jane Treasure, Food and Beverage Director from Pizza Express said, “Deliveroo is banning the Hawaiian? No problem. It’s been banned from our menu for the last 6 years! The Padana is a fab sweet fix for those who fancy that kind of thing though, thanks to the delicious caramelised onion and goat’s cheese topping.”
Joss Mostert, Marketing Director from Bella Italia said, “Deliveroo banning the Hawaiian is no problem because if you are on Team Pineapple, we just don’t think we can be friends! Swap over to the right team and try our Pepperoni that is the perfect pizza every time. You won’t regret it and we won’t judge you!”
James & Thom Elliot, Founders of Pizza Pilgrims said, “Putting pineapple on Neapolitan pizza is basically considered a crime in Naples. Most of our pizza chefs are from Naples and safe to say they are not fans! We fully support Deliveroo’s decision to ban pineapple on pizza and make a stand for proper pizza!
Free Whoppers
Following a technical issue last night burger lovers are in for a tasty treat as Burger King UK mistakenly issued thousands of free Whopper coupons to app users nationwide.

As a result of the app glitch, Burger King UK estimates thousands of guests nationwide will be able to redeem a free Whopper.

Video call insurance
In response to increasing customer demand, specialist insurers Ceta and InsureMy are launching Video Call Cover to protect those working from home from a range of frustrating and embarrassing incidents.
The insurance provides cover for a range of common video call risks, including, ‘you’re on mute’ interruptions from children, pets and deliveries as well as insurance for reputational damage such as embarrassing freeze frames, unflattering camera angles and bad hair days.
The insurance has three different cover levels – Bronze, Silver and Gold. All packages cover muting and interruptions as standard, while with the Silver package, there is the added benefit of cover for sharing the wrong screen, sneezing and Wifind Me Some Signal. In the event of complete Wifi and signal loss, policyholders with this courtesy WIFI replacement service benefit will be taken – along with all their equipment – by chauffeur to the nearest area with a reliable signal until their own WIFI is fully restored.
Gold Video Call Cover customers will benefit from everything in the Silver policy plus exclusive access to the ‘Everything’s Fine’ package; a suite of customisable filters and tools including:
- Interruption detection – AI technology automatically detects, mutes, and erases any unwanted sounds and images created by children, partners, or pets in the background
- Accidental nudity filter with automatic clothing upload – protect your modesty and ‘cover up’ – choose from a range of predesigned outfits or from a selection from your own wardrobe for added plausibility

- Spot/blemish recognition with cover-up filter – to disguise any imperfections
- Emergency stop – camera and microphone are automatically turned off and replaced by ‘library pictures’ of you listening intently if the sounds of going to the toilet or making a cup of tea are detected to ensure complete discretion
April Firstday, head of Video Call Insurance said: “Even though restrictions are now lifted, working from home has become the new normal for millions of people in the UK, which means video calling is now a part of our everyday working lives.
“And while joining meetings online from the comfort of our own homes has its advantages, it also comes with a huge amount of risk, from accidentally muting yourself when you had a really good point to make, to children interrupting, pets walking across the screen or keyboard, or the doorbell going at an inconvenient moment.
“There are also a huge number of reputational risks to be considered, such as unflattering freeze frames, bad hair days and unfavourable lighting, right through to more severe risks such as forgetting to get dressed or leaving the microphone on while you are in the loo.
April concludes: “That’s why we have launched our Video Call Cover, to give those working from home the confidence to join a video call knowing that any technical or down-right humiliating incidents will be covered.”
To celebrate the launch of Video Call Cover, Ceta Insurance and InsureMy are offering a £50 voucher for the best embarrassing freeze frame shared on Twitter or FaceBook using the hashtag #cetavideocallcoverstar and tagging @cetainsurance.
Pet translator
Barking mad about your pet and want to know what they’re thinking? Moonpig is here to make the impawsible pawsible with its new pet translator feature. YES, this really is fur-real you will soon be able to translate your pets bark or meow, meaning they can now put paw to microphone and record a message to their owner.
Launching in April 2022 exclusively on the app, the innovators at Moonpig have developed the new Moonpets feature working alongside a pet psychologist to help decode the hidden meaning behind those attention seeking cries. Whether it’s a high-pitched howl or sharp and sweet cry, Moonpig’s pet psychologist has managed to translate their sounds so that their loving messages can now be transferred into a large selection of cards ‘From the Pet’. Whether it’s a birthday, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, these cards from your four-legged friends will be more personal than ever before.
The new app feature launched after Moonpig has seen a pawsome 260% increase in card orders ‘From the Pet’ in the last two years, with data analysts at Moonpig citing lockdown and the increase in pet ownership as a reason for the dramatic rise in card sales in this sector.
Peter Donlon Chief Technology Officer at Moonpig commented: “We knew that it was going to be a woof ride trying to create the technology to decode the meaning behind our pets’ cries, however after seeing such high sales in the from the pet cards sector we were determined to take up this opp-pawtunity and revolutionise the way we communicate with our furry friends.
The new pawsome feature is a mutt-umental move for the Moonpig app and we hope our four-legged customers will enjoy letting their owners know how they feel. We’re confident that this new app will have a paw-sitive impact on the way our humans and pets interact with each other – we just hope there’s no argument over who picks up the bill at the end of the order.”
Crying cabinet for offices

It provides employees a safe place to hysterically cry when their boss has sent yet another “have you done your timesheets?” email or HR refused a month-long holiday request.
From the outside, you might think this is a run of the mill filing cabinet but open the doors and you’ll discover a sanctuary for the stressed-out, a haven from the ‘had enoughs’. The Cryling Cabinet is a discreet space to hide away from the stresses of everyday office life.
Key features include:
Sound (and scream) proof walls

Carbonated chicken Tango
Tango welcomes three new takeaway flavours to its range as Brit’s desire for takeaways skyrockets. The pandemic saw households spend on takeaways increase by over 40% but it appears the trend is here to stay as demand shows a taste for takeaways outlasts Covid lockdowns.
Inspired by some of Brit’s most loved takeaway foods, Tango has combined its traditional orange flavour with three British takeaway staples, including carbonated chicken, which gets that fresh out the fryer crispy crunchy flavour. Designed to tickle the tastebuds and deliver the ultimate in tangy refreshment, the new takeaway cans aim to cater for those who love the great taste of Tango, combined with their favourite takeaway.
Ray Patterson, Brand Director at Tango commented: “We’ve seen a huge amount of our customers enjoy a cheeky Tango with their takeaway, and a survey we conducted shows 58% of 18-34 year olds regularly pair food with soft drinks to enhance flavour[5]. So, we thought why not offer it all in one can, and marry together our classic Tango taste, with three firm takeaway favourites. We hope Tango fans will enjoy all their fast food favourites in delicious Tango-y liquid form”.
Fans can get their hands on the new Tango flavours in all major supermarkets.
100% Liquid Plaid Handwash
ARRAN Sense of Scotland has found the answer to a conundrum that’s baffled bath and body care product developers for years – by creating a TARTAN handwash that holds its pattern when squeezed from the bottle.
Launching just in time for Tartan Day (6th April), the new handwash reflects the brand’s Scottish heritage and is available to buy from 6th April 2022 for £16 at https://arran.com/products/tartan-hand-wash. Customers can sign up for early access from 1st April 2022.
ARRAN Sense of Scotland’s Sales Director, Andrew Russell said: “We often joke that we’re Scottish inside and out, and that if you cut us open, you’d see tartan, now you can say the same goes for our handwash.
“We wanted to create something that embodies us as a brand and our product experts have been working on the development of this one for years. We believe it’s totally unique.
“Getting the technical specifications right hasn’t been an easy job, what we had to do was create horizontal stripes that hold their line when squeezed out of the tube, we did this by making a very viscous version of our existing formulas. It’s kind of a halfway house between solid and liquid soap. We’ve paired that with a special nozzle that feeds the horizontal lines through as it’s pushed down to create the tartan pattern.
“We’re really pleased with the final result, but we don’t want to give anything away and spoil the surprise when you see it for the first time.”
Card Millennials can’t use on Netflix
A new savings scheme is launching today with the aim of helping frivolous millennials cut down on unnecessary spending including Netflix, sausage rolls and takeout coffee in order to save for their dream home.
The SacrifISA, launched by online specialist mortgage broker, Haysto, comes in response to Kirstie Allsopp’s motivational comments, suggesting that millennials need only give up their “eastJet, coffee, gym and Netflix” lifestyle to get themselves on the property ladder.
With the tagline “Stop complaining. Start a SacrifISA”, the scheme is linked to the user’s debit card and once connected, will help to curb unnecessary spending by blocking attempts to waste precious savings on items including: just about anything with avocado in, gym memberships, takeaway coffee, holidays and Greggs.
Once the purchase has been blocked, the millennial pink card will automatically transfer funds into your SacrifISA account. Users will soon see their savings totting up getting themselves one step closer to the property ladder one oat milk latte at a time.
Haysto CEO and Co-Founder, Jonny Moulton, said: “We all know that soaring house prices and stagnant salaries are not the real reason why young people are struggling to buy their own home. Sausage rolls cost a whopping 0.96p each, while a flat white will set you back at around £2.50 at high street chains. These costs soon add up and with ludicrous spending like this it’s no wonder millions of people are unable to invest in their own property.
“We were inspired by Kirstie’s comments to help millennials reevaluate their spending habits and get them back on track to owning their first home. The SacrifISA is an account designed to put an end to the “treat yourself” mentality behind Generation Rent.”
Festival smelling candle
Ever sat at home watching daytime TV, rain pelting against the window, reminiscing about your favourite festivals you haven’t been able to attend for the last TWO years? Fear not!
The limited edition festival candle from Skiddle, appropriately named ‘Festiv’eau’, has just dropped.
The first in Skiddle’s new line of ‘Live e’scents’ candles , Festiv’eau launches today (April 1st), and is jam-packed with all of the unique, but not always agreeable, scents any festival-lover will need to transport themselves into the field of their dreams.
A limited number of the candles will be released on Skiddle’s website at 12pm, retailing at £30 each, with all proceeds donated to Macmillan Cancer Support, the brand’s long-term charity partner.
Name a more iconic festival partnership than the smell of grass stains, pints, burger vans and… portaloos? As the candle starts to burn, those lucky enough to get their hands on one will feel transported to the grounds of their favourite festival. Imagine…
It’s the morning, the sun is shining, everyone is buzzing with excitement and the smell of freshly trimmed grass is wafting through the air. As the day goes on, your stomach starts to rumble. A familiar smell of sizzling, hot, fresh burgers cooking tempts you over to the van. When the sun starts to dip over the horizon, you find yourself queuing up at the bar, chatting to your friends before ordering a pint of lager. And the next morning, when you pop your head outside your tent and you’re ready to take on the day, you notice a smell lingering in your nostrils. It’s not particularly pleasant, but you can’t quite put your finger on what it is… Until you pass the portaloos.
Skiddle has confirmed that they are also working on two new scents that will drop later this year. Smells like Teen Spirit, will evoke the memories of student nights, with scents of sickly sweet drinks, burnt pizza, latex, and a slight whiff of puke; and Eau’asis – Cigarettes & Alcohol will transport users to their favourite indie gigs, with smells of stale cider, cigarette fumes, sweat, ending in a taxi ride home (new car smell).Penny Farthing hire
Bike subscription company Swapfiets has today announced the world’s first Penny Farthing monthly subscription service to celebrate 150 years of the first ever bicycle.

This one speed is a whopping 53 inches (130cm) in size and comes with a custom roller brake, a ring lock + chain lock and hub powered LED light. The iconic bicycle will also receive a further upgrade, courtesy of the company’s iconic bright blue front tyre, which is reinforced and puncture resistant.

The new stainless beetroot from Waitrose enables customers to enjoy all the benefits of this British ingredient, without the danger of staining clothes, hands, plates and worktops.
Beatrice Root, Waitrose Head of Stain Prevention, says; ‘The humble beetroot has long had its reputation tainted due to the fact it stains with its deep purple juice. This has been years in the making as we have been working with growers to produce a new stain-free variety to help this fantastic ingredient get the recognition it deserves.’
Waitrose Stainless Beetroot is available from the 1st April in selected stores and Waitrose.com
Soil-powered lights
Ground-breaking lightbulbs – which are powered purely by nutrients in the soil – will be lighting up gardens across the UK thanks to new ‘Garden Bulb’ lighting now on sale in the UK.
