Things you are amazed actually sell

[SuperGinger]

Waitrose own brand bin liners, and they always break, and when you get them out it's super easy to poke a hole in them.

Those awful cringey signs like “the best memories are made round the table” or “you don’t have to be mad to live here, but it helps!”. BOAK 🤢

I saw a parody one the other day that said:

Eat, Shit, Die

I have this one;

(Now I keep singing The internet is for p* (Avenue Q))

The internet is really, really greeeaat -

FOR PORN

I actually cried with laughter in the theatre when we saw Avenue Q

Pigs in blankets scented candle in Aldi had to double check to make sure I was reading right

Same with Fanta, I can't drink it now :(

I cant decide if this is better or worse than Gwynnies fanny scented candle...?

I'd say better because it's bound to be more affordable 🤣🤣

@DogInATent , you misunderstood me. Any peas from pods will be eaten raw, straight from the pod, as a (hefty) snack.
If having them with as a vegetable with a meal, it’ll always be frozen peas - or more likely petits pois - in this house.

You’re welcome to tell dh that peas fresh from the pod aren’t very nice- I’m afraid he just won’t agree!

Any and all of the "Ryan's World" merchandise, it truly takes the P! So expensive yet cheap plastic crud that kids want so badly, like the L.O.L merchandise also
(P.S. do not buy the "squishies" he is being sued over them, they are highly toxic and contain a substance like formaldehyde - banned in my house)

@MissCordeliaPreston , ditto to buttercups!

In early summer I always get dh to leave certain patches when mowing the lawn, because of swathes of lovely buttercups.

Porridge in little sachets or single serving pots. wtaf.
The servings are too small & it makes porridge 5x more expensive to eat.
Also, the sachets are weird flavours.
Porridge is so easy to make in microwave.
ok, I take that back 5%.
I kind of get the pots, actually, in very limited situations.
But... I saw a woman buying 9 single serving pots the other day in Lidl.

Maybe she doesn't have a hob or even a microwave much less a way to wash a bowl. Maybe she only has a kettle. Maybe she has kids who throw paddies if they don't get their special pots. Yeah sure, maybe.

Oh they're lovely when genuinely fresh. But "fresh" peas in the pod bought from the supermarket are anything but fresh. They lose their sweetness within a couple of hours of picking.

It's finely macerated oats. Like instant oats. Nothing like regular oats. Horrible stuff but defo different things

Just blend oats in a nutribullet.

Btw, that isn't what macerate means (it means to soak/steep in such a way as the thing softens/breaks down).

I meant a Madeira or Angel cake not a booze fed Christmas cake.

We don't all have a nutribullet.

Empty wine/booze bottles with lights in. They seems to be on sale on all the FB selling sites this time of year, and appear in xmas fayres too.
Bonus tatt points if they have napkins glued to them.

ASDA (at Hallowe'en) selling 3 flavours of black Mayonnaise.

The cackling skeletor ‘Live, laugh, love’ has made my night!

I’m quite excited that I can explain the eggs.

In a meal deal situation, the eggs are perfect to have on the side of your sandwich. Healthier than crisps or chocolate, more filling than carrot batons or a bag of chopped up apple’n’grape.

Also the supermarket eggs in a pot with spinach seem to smell more benign than the home-prepared and transported variety. Which can make all the difference on a busy commuter train:

(I’m with the aggrieved assailant).

Oh Vimto, the drink of my 1950s childhood when it was made behind the old Burnden Park in Bolton, made marvelous lollies, relatives visiting from the South would take bottles home as it wasn't then available outside the North! I had to take a 2 litre bottle to New Zealand, before the 100 ml days! I still love it made with soda water.

'Out of stock' on US Amazon site!

Traditionally the top of a properly made wedding cake was kept as a christening cake for the first child. If you don't use milk then a fruit cake will keep almost forever.

But also most couples would have a baby pretty quickly.
