A UK grocery chain launched a hot cross bun with a tick instead of the traditional Christian symbol. “When I survey the wondrous tick.” Doesn’t have quite the same ring, does it?

I ask you, how far wrong can you go with a hot cross bun, a Good Friday treat decorated with a cross to represent the crucifixion of Jesus Christ? Very wrong indeed. Standing in the queue at a local grocery store, several of us reeled from the abomination that is a White Chocolate & Lemon Hot Cross Bun.When another customer mentioned Strawberries and Clotted Cream Hot Cross Buns from a rival supermarket I swear something in me died.

These Frankensteins of Easter tradition are getting more and more monstrous. In Australia, Coles’ Vegemite and Cheese variant unleashed a torrent of “Not Cross Buns”. Pizza Shapes Hot Cross Buns, an orange burger bun with cheese and paprika , Sticky Date Hot Cross Pudding Bun and even Hot Cross Bun Porridge.The torture it neverendeth. Yesterday, my friend Maggie texted from the grocery store. “Brace yourself. Hot Cross Bunnetone.” Hopping mad, I tell you.
