OK, I'm not in the best of moods at the moment, but I'm oddly annoyed by the bag of lemons in my kichen, the label of which cheerfully informs me that they are 'ideal for zesting and drinks'.

That's good, as I was planning on seeing how many I could fit up my arse before taking myself off to A&E to show them how clever I am Hmm.

Similarly, a packet of raisins tells me that they are 'ideal for home baking or adding to breakfast cereals or yoghurt. I glad that they've cleared this one up as I've been wondering why my raisins havn't been getting my washing as clean as my usual stuff.

AIBU to be irritated by the presumption that I, as a consumer, must be utterly cluless?

Sainsbury's own brand cereals really annoy me with their "quirky" suggestions for how to use them. Like putting cheese on a apricot wheat and serving as a canapé.

No thanks, I'll stick with a bowl and some milk.

every time I fly I look forward to getting this little pack of peanuts that instructs: "open packet. Eat nuts." So not to be used as earplugs then?

Grin Uphill. I'd love to see a party with those canapes. Lots of guests thinking 'WTF, has she been drinking Hmm' and trying to hide them down the sofa.

Grin at baby aborigines.

Reshape - please could you pm the Nutella Mug recipe? I've been meaning to ask for some time!
