spray-painted hallowe'en-themed succulents

a plastic tube of jam tied off at each end; alarmingly reminiscent of sausage, but more liquid

a bag of sugar as of bags of liquid, with a baffling pouring nozzles

Those succulents are too damn pretty to destroy with spray paint.

The jam roll is so huge it seems like it would only be useful, when you're making around 43 jam cakes.

Oh and look there's a jam cake on the sugar packet.

SO MUCH JAM for a not-recloseable container! (Also the poor li'l succulents, what did they ever do to deserve spraypaint...)

[surpassingly]

Those succulents! *______________*

And haha, I totally thought the jam was sausage until I read the caption.

WHY IS IT SAUSAGE-JAM. WHY.

[surpassingly]

BUT IT'S A DELICIOUS SAUSAGE-JAM??!?!?!? DOES THAT MAKE IT BETTER?

(Ahahahaha, seriously, omg, but also, <333333)

I'm from Sweden, and I never realised the jam-sausage thing was strange or unusual! You're supposed to pour it into an old jam jar, which means you can keep using the same jar and don't have to recycle so much glass.

The sugar bag is a pretty new thing though, and the nozzle is quite baffling, I agree. Luckily you can still buy it in the usual paper bag as well.

Ha, yes, I had worked out the use case! But yeah, it's really not something that happens in the UK and I am delighted by it.

Good to know you weren't too baffled and bewildered by our strange jam-habits!

I'm actually kind of sad that my favourite jam only comes in little jars and not in the form of delightful jam-sausages.

Laws, jam, and sausage.

I really don't understand the sugar not being in a paper bag? A paper bag is fully recyclable while the plastic film and cap probably aren't. Also I can imagine caster sugar getting stuck in that nozzle at the slightest trace of moisture.
