Is Gen Z to blame for the horror show of carbonara in a can? Oh, do give over

THERE won’t be historians in the future — only conspiracy theorists — but if there were, you might expect them to pinpoint the downfall of civilisation to last week, when Heinz announced it had put spaghetti carbonara in a can (spoiler: it’s a disaster). Heinz says this is all Gen Z’s fault, because the lazy sods can’t be bothered to cook.
