The Worst Kitchen Gift

Surely this must be a joke: artisanal rapeseed oil! There must be enough rubes out there to fall for this, I guess, someone stupid enough to believe that rapeseed is grown for the awesome flavor. I saw some for sale, on a shelf, in a store, so it's not a web hoax. I'm struggling to come up with a worse candidate for the artisanal treatment. Hm....

frosted flakes? "hand-lacquered with late-harvest high fructose corn syrup glaze...."
hand-crafted baking powder? extra-virgin marmite? Free-range metamucil? nope, can't do it
