​Minument to Marketing

King Cornish Crab, formerly known as Spider crab.

It was amusing/bemusing to hear that Spider Crabs underwent a rebrand. The newly coronated King Cornish Crab is apparently more palatable to the UK market.

Rather than embracing the reprieve in numbers of crabs being consumed, thus allowing populations to flourish,  a rebrand is embraced. 

Minuments are counterpoints to monuments. They are small in scale and are not intended to aggrandise, celebrate or commemorate. Anonymous bodies that mark fleeting moments, sensations and less salubrious aspects of contemporary life.
