Someone, please think of the sausages

Err, today's announcement by Superquinn has created a bit of a stir about sausages.

Just in case you didn't hear, Musgrave are gonna change the name of their Superquinn shops to SuperValu next year.

Something that has obviously distressed some of their customers about the plight of the sausages.

@aidancoughlan eurghhhh, what about Superquinn sausages?

What's in a name? Can you love SuperValu sausages as much as Superquinn sausages?

I now have to love SuperValu sausages: RT @superquinn_ie All Superquinn’s 24 stores will be renamed as SuperValu in February 2014.

The news could cause shopping mayhem at the chain's stores.

Now making a mental list of all my favourite @superquinn_ie food and will go do a supermarket sweep before it changes

But those capable people at Superquinn have some reassuring words for worried shoppers.

@robtheminion The Sausages are safe. They'll keep the name and stay the same.
