In the latest of a long line questionable condiment creations, Heinz has released a new hot cross bun-flavoured mayonnaise.
And it’s meant to be “seriously good”.
Considering April Fool’s Day isn’t until this weekend, and considering Heinz has already famously released a Terry’s Chocolate Orange-flavoured mayonnaise back in December 2021, as well as a trio of ‘saucy’ mashup sauces just a couple of weeks back, you realise that the food manufacturer is, unfortunately, completely serious with its latest Easter-themed invention.
Hot cross buns are a classic sweet treat at this time of year, and flavoured creations inspired by their beloved taste aren’t usually hard to come by – but mayonnaise is something else.
Introducing the Easter treat you definitely didn't ask for: Heinz Hot Cross Bun Mayo.
The new Heinz [Seriously] Good Hot Cross Bun Mayonnaise is a limited-edition creation that’s meant to “pair perfectly with all your favourite Easter treats”, and is made by blending Heinz’s rich creamy mayonnaise with toasted hot cross buns, and then swirling through sweet cinnamon spices and real fruit pieces to create a combination like no other.

No matter whether you want to double-down on the hot cross bun flavour by simply spreading it on your hot cross buns buns, or you’d just prefer to enjoy it straight from the jar with a spoon, Heinz says the sweet and creamy condiment is “an eggs-cellent addition to your Easter menu”.
“People love Heinz’s sweet mayo combos as much as we love inventing new and eggs-citing products for our customers,” Heinz’s Brand Manager Katharina Kern admitted.

If you’re keen to try out the new limited-edition Heinz creation though, it won’t be as easy as just nipping to your local shop or supermarket, as only 100 lucky condiment fans will be able to get their hands on a jar as part of a week-long competition.
To be in with a chance of winning, you’ll just need to head to the Heinz UK website to enter its #HotCrossBunMayo competition.
The deadline for entries is Sunday 2 April.

ITV confirms release date for new single parents dating show dubbed ‘middle-aged Love Island’
Emily Sergeant
ITV has confirmed that its brand-new dating series for single parents is officially a thing, and it’s hitting our screens later this year.
It had long been rumoured that ITV had a somewhat Love Island-inspired spin-off series geared more towards those looking for love in the middle of their lives in the works, with reports hotly-tipping it to hit screens soon first surfacing back in July of last year – but nothing was actually set in stone at that point.
Then it was revealed back in January that, after months of speculation, all the rumours were true, as the broadcaster was actively casting for contestants and calling on single parents across the UK to get their applications in.
Already having been dubbed “middle-aged Love Island”, but previously called the working title of The Romance Retreat, ITV explained when it first put out the casting call that the new series would see a group of “vibrant single parents” from across the UK all meet under one roof, and that it was set to be the only dating show where they can search for love in a safe space.
Now, coming up to six months after that initial casting call, ITV has confirmed that the long-awaited series is finally set to hit TV screens later this autumn.
Given the new official title of My Mum, Your Dad, and hosted by legendary TV presenter Davina McCall, ITV took to social media yesterday to reveal that the “secret is finally out”.
Teasing a little more information about the new show, ITV explained: “My Mum, Your Dad is a brand-new series following a group of single parents looking for a second chance at love. They’ve been nominated by their grown-up kids, but what they don’t know is that their kids are watching their every move, playing matchmaker and holding cushions over their faces as they watch the shenanigans.”
An exact release date for the show is expected to be announced by ITV in due course, so you’ll need to keep your eyes peeled.

Matty Healy delivers perfect reply to being called a ‘slack-jawed f***wit’ by Noel Gallagher live on stage
Danny Jones
Matty Healy is once again poking the beehive and after being called a “slack-jawed f***wit’ by Noel Gallagher, The 1975 frontman delivered the perfect comedic response to his comments.
Healy was on stage in Dublin on Wednesday, 7 June, essentially warming up for himself after American singer Caroline Polachek had to pull out of the show, playing an hour of additional 1975 songs that didn’t make it onto the headline setlist.
A much more informal set than the main show — just Matty, a guitar, a keyboard his laptop and a little help from bandmate Jamie Squire — he spent lots of time chatting with the crowd and at one point, addressed the Manc music legend’s recent roasting.
The former Oasis songwriter and guitarist was sitting down with The Spin when the interviewer asked what he made of Matty Healy’s comments that he and brother Liam should “stop marding” and get back together — to which Noel said: “Oh, that slack-jawed f***wit… He needs to get over how shit his band is and split up.” Bit harsh but the 34-year-old seemed to take it in stride and had his own cold comeback.
Clearly enjoying having riled up the 56-year-old, Healy fired back by saying “The difference between me and Noel is I do a series of interviews to promote an album, whereas he does an album to promote a series of interviews”.
As one person posted in the comments, “I’m not the biggest 1975 fan but he’s absolutely mugged him off here”, and a lot of people tended to agree.
Healy did assure the cheering crowd that he and the band all “love Noel Gallagher” and claimed that they even “asked Liam to open up for [them] but he was busy” — we would have paid good money to see that happen.
Nevertheless, we’re certainly enjoying this hilarious little spat between the two and whatever you make of the two of them, they sure. Also, Matty’s right, the Gallagher bros should just get over it already and give the people what they want: an Oasis reunion. One day, we can always pray.
