This morning myself an dd had spagheti letters on toast and I was disgusted to see the filth that could be spelled with the letters
surley these kind of comestibles are aimed at youngsters
I will not be giving these to my dd ever again
and one word that could be spelled was a very offencive word in Spanish

what kind of twisted people are putting the letters in the tins?

yanbu. absolutely shocking.

Spacehoppa · 09/08/2010 12:29

ooooooooooooooooo....

I got spaghetti hoooops

Chil1234 · 09/08/2010 12:31

That's what you get for eating canned junk. At least with freshly cooked Waitrose organic wholegrain spelt linguine you have to spell out your own obscenities long-hand... .

YANBU at all. I had a tin of these and every fucking word inside was misspelt. What kind of example is that to impressionable young children?

cestlavie · 09/08/2010 12:38

YANBU. Heinz and their ilk should be up in court. I innocently offered DD a plate of Mr. Men pasta shapes for tea a couple of days ago and on serving, quite frankly, what one Mr. Tickle shape was doing to one of the Mr. Bump shapes with his long arms was shocking. Luckily I managed to dash the plate to the floor before DD had the chance to see but not all parents will be so lucky.

YANBU

My DD asked, "Mum, what is oral sex?" after eating a tin of spaghetti letters.

Shocking.

We should be thinking of a MN campaign to force Heinz to take this filth off Britain's shelves.

Perhaps the Daily Mail would be interested?

stop being so melodramatic, just get her to eat them blindfolded

Eleison · 09/08/2010 12:50

My chief bugbear is that the tins come without punctuation included. What is that teaching our young people?

MmeLindt · 09/08/2010 12:51

My daughter recently had a message in text speak.

I believe it was "u luk gr8"

Eleison · 09/08/2010 12:54

We make our own fresh pasta and my DS can shape all the major European diacriticals himself -- and judge the correct length for the parentheitical dash. Don't other MNers do this?

Eleison · 09/08/2010 12:55

(Apologies for wrong spelling of 'parenthetical'. I am using a tinned keyboard for convenience.)

Honeywitch · 09/08/2010 12:56

I don't know why I'm laughing, it's a serious issue...

coraltoes · 09/08/2010 13:01

that is nothing. Today my calculator spelled BOOBIES

i was shocked and devastated.

Bensmum76 · 09/08/2010 13:03

Bloody hilarious!! I've just embarrassed myself by laughing very loudly whilst sitting at my desk in work!!I am just sorry that I cannot think of any humerous comments to add!! :-)

MummyBerryJuice · 09/08/2010 13:05

yaDnbu. However, I am more concerned at the lack of punctuation an the inevitable poor grammar that will result! Perhaps with the force of MN behind us we can put a stop to this vulgarity?

MmeLindt · 09/08/2010 13:05

Coraltoes
I think that you should return your calculator to WH Smiths and demand an explanation. What if one of your DC had been using it?

Threadworm
:o

FunnyLittleFrog · 09/08/2010 13:06

Broken bloody Britain.

VinegarTits · 09/08/2010 13:07

Its doesnt stop at tinned spaghetti.... i put some of those alpabites (potato shaped letters) into the over for my ds last week and i went i dished them out they spelt out 'you cunt' [shocked]

Ds is now in therapy because of it Sad

gorionine · 09/08/2010 13:09

When I was little we had alphabet soup and had to spell our ouwnrude words! What is the world comming to!

Now, are there really tins of spaghetti with words already spelt? Have I lived in a vaccum world for the last few years?

coraltoes · 09/08/2010 13:09

mme lindt i've written a very angry email to them linking to this thread. I am sure they'll be gutted to see such awful press on MN.

Now is it just me or does that banana look a bit phallic....

onebatmother · 09/08/2010 13:21
Grin
Iklboo · 09/08/2010 13:24

I agree - and coupled with those potato products shaped like letters it's positively obscene! If there were ever enough vowels in the packets you could quite possibly might even perhaps think of a rude word.

loveulotslikejellytots · 09/08/2010 13:31

Oh God... I must be seriously tired, until I read just past half way I thought this was a serious one! Grin. Think Jelly needs to go back to bed and come back when her brain can function properly.

NestaFiesta · 09/08/2010 13:40
