was MiL U to put this down the loo?

[CarolCervix]

DD was helping her clean out her cupboards.

Balsamic vinegar exp 2005

Chickpeas exp 2009

Chicken soup exp 2009

She flushed them down the loo.

and WTAF?

Ha ha , it's shilpa shetty and the chicken carcass down the loo again

I'd have flushed them too, better than clogging up the sink u-bend. Not so sure about the chickpeas, I think I'd have drained them, then binned.

No I wouldn't, I'd have eaten the soup and chickpeas.

but why not just chuck them in the bin?

why empty them down the loo????? why??????? why?????????????????????

And the problem is?

Why not just leave in tin and bin!

What a waste! There's nothing wrong with tinned goods when they are past their sell by date! Vinegar is a preservative. There would have been nothing wrong with that either! How ignorant.

Just chuck 'em in the bin. It's weird to put stuff down the loo. The rats will be happy though

What about the recycling of the tins though? Empty tins into food waste caddy, wash tins and put in recycling.

That's what I would do but everyone has different recycling instructions.

I would chuck that stuff down the vinegar and soup down the loo, so I could recycle the tins or bottles. The chickpeas would go in the bin (after draining).

putting stuff like that is weird too i agree, just put in the bin or keep, they are canned

didn't someone find a whole chicken in a can, from about 1934 and they opened it and it was still okay?

x post with sparkling

It's far more enviromentally friendly for them to go down the loo than end up in landfill.

Having said that, none of those things needed to be thrown out. Balsamic vinegar doesn't go off and tinned foods keep for years and years.

Not sure about unreasonable but certainly very odd!

Can i just say Carolcervix best.christmas.namechange.ever even though it's not December yet

I'd stick them down the loo, then recycle the bottles/tins. When we have leftover soup that goes down the loo too, and I make fake puking noises as I do it because the way mum makes it, it does look a bit like sick. It pleases my little brain.

This country needs more Insinkerators.

Hth

I put un-eaten weetabix down the loo.

Sparkler I do the same thing with soup - my girls all crowd round the loo and watch as they find it hilarious!

FWIW - I would have flushed and recycled tins/bottles..

Is it just me with the food waste caddy fiasco every two weeks?

WHATEVERTHEWEATHER - IT IS ADVENT.

sorry caps

why down the loo?

if you must ditch it surely you put the contents in the bin. why down the loo?

because - you want to recycle the tins/jars so want to empty before you dispose of them. You don't want to put chicken soup down the sink because it might block it - so sensible thing to do is put it down the loo. I don't think it's weird at all! If we've got left over soup/dhal etc then we put it down the loo rather than in the bin (who wants lots of wet slushy stuff at the bottom of their bin?)

I flush the coffee grouts down the loo because I don't want them down the sink and its easier to swill them around with a bit of water in the cafetière and flush than try and dig them out into the bin.

If you compost, ViviPru, chuck the coffe grounds on the heap as they're really good for the garden.

Yak.

It does make sense to do it, as gin said, who wants wet slushy stuff in the bin?
But I don't think I could do it- think I'd just put the tins back in the cupboard

My grandma tips bowls of left over cereal down the toilet, the sound it makes is so revolting.

all these people trecking upstairs with pots and stuff to empty down the loo.

weird. very very weird.

i use binliners.

I have an in-sink-erator I love it. No more leaking bins. Only thing that doesn't go down the sink is fat/oil.
