Not true, the supermarket doesn't portion quaker oats into those individual pots or sachets with all the branding on them etc, supermarkets are mainly small mark up high volume outlets.

You are correct, to a degree, but it wouldn't surprise me if they paid no more than 25p a pot, that's still a mark up of 400% on a pot, and that is high volume stuff, with this, we are certainly at the moment talking low volume, so the mark up doesnt surprise me one bit.

Far from it, I've already said I wouldn't be buying it but can see the appeal. I said earlier that it was a niche market, but imagine expanding into the camping market, it could work, there are probably more lazy campers than there are carpers 😃

I don't know where to start with all that is wrong/daft about this as a concept - but maybe googling Fink Food before going with it as the brand name would have been an idea (there's already a company with virtually the same name - so getting a good search ranking is going to be interesting from a marketing point of view...what's the betting all the individual packaging is all plastic too - so not exactly a good environmental story either...

Hi guys. I've had an amazing idea. It's called fink ****ter. We all know the inconvenience of carrying a whole lol roll when we might only need a few sheets for a weekend. Plus the aggro of actually tearing off each sheet as you use it.

So for £11.99 I am will to post you twenty sheets of the finest Andrex already sorted into single sheets.

Pm me to set up a direct debit. For £3.99 I offer a text messaging service to remind you to take a **** in case you are too dumb or lazy to remember.

Scott Lloyds one of the directors on companies house, he's hammering it all over Instagram and Facebook. I just can't see it taking off at all.

They may well do but Fink are then inflating that price even more...

Another example, 50g of Kellogs cornflakes for 99p.....Asda do 1.2k for £4....if you gross up Finks price that would cost you £24..... come on, surely you get it now....

Absolute piss take....at least Dick Turpin wore a mask....
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
