Critics denounce poor taste Breaking Bad themed ‘blue meth’ cupcakes
The latest business to jump aboard the Breaking Bad bandwagon, following Monday’s Lego meth lab, has found that capitalising on the show’s popularity isn’t a piece of cake.
Glasgow’s Riverhill Coffee Bar sought to cater to fans tastebuds with a limited edition ‘blue meth’ range of cupcakes, topped with a layer of cracked blue sugar.
Far from whetting the appetite of patrons however they have left them feeling blue after a local anti-drug group and politician rounded on the stunt as serving to glamourize drug use.
Speaking to the Evening Times Green party councillor Nina Baker said: “The cafe might try to pass it off as a joke, but I don’t think it’s funny.”
Undeterred however the shop’s owner has pledged to cook up a fresh batch of the product in time for the series finale on 29 September.
