Lying supermarkets must think I am stupid

[Jasonthunderpants]

While getting frozen mixed peppers out of a bag (for my tea they are ideal on pizza)I noticed a lot of green ones about 80% in fact.Looking on the back it said 34% green and 33% red and yellow
The next bag I get I am going to seperate the colours and weigh them and complain if the percentages do not match
AIBU
This reminds me of a bag of drawing pins I got many years ago which said to contain 180,after counting them it came up 12 short,I am still cross about that

oooooooooh I am so vexed

I'm sure they don't think you are stupid. But MN now thinks you are a bit weird

I agree with you actually- I hate sodding green peppers, they are the nastiest by far. I would be very cross if anybody tried to palm extra off on me.

YABU to count drawing pins. You are clearly a loon

It would be worth complaining re: the peppers if you can be arsed. Chances are that they are all bagged up once they've been mixed and you've just got a duff bag there. Similar happened with some birdfood once - it was all cheap stuff and bugger all dried mealworms. Suppliers were fine about it and replaced the bag; these things happen and it isn't necessarily the case that anyone is trying to rip you off.

oh dear. Methinks you have too much time on your hands

YABU to buy frozen peppers though - they're grim, aren't they? Do you buy frozen mushrooms and frozen onions, too?

no yanbu!

Green peppers are tastless. What do they think you are? If you want to start a petition, or possible some sort of direct action, I'm right there with you. The Lying bastards

If 34% are green, and 33% red and yellow, what constitutes the remaining 33%?

i use frozen peppers, v tasty in lasagne

only frozen veg we buy
peppers
spinach
peas
sweetcorn and soya beans
the frozen peppers are nice on pizza and I am sat stuffing my face waiting for the football to start

33% red and 33% yellow. I was trying to be quick

They are trying to diddle you (in a non-sexual way). I'm pretty sure green peppers cost less than the others because they taste so cack. Another example of Rip Off Britain

Green peppers are definitely the most rubbish. Are they cheaper than the other colours? I've never noticed them costing less than red, yellow or orange but they always seem to be more of them in things for some reason.

Oh, of course.

YANBU.

I'd complain, and enjoy the vouchers they'll fob you off with send you.

i made that bit about the price of green peppers up

We used to occasionally buy frozen peppers but have stopped doing so because every bag was at least 70% green peppers, and as we both hate them, it was just a waste. We bought from both Tesco and Sainsbury's, so I guess they used the same company to supply them, but why they would use mostly green peppers when they aren't any more expensive than other colours and a lot of people don't like green ones is beyond me!

This wouldn't happen in Waitrose (I possibly made that up too)

I once got a bag of salt and shake crisps which contained 1 crisp and many salt bags (I did NOT make this up). I was incandescent with rage.

He has got too much time on his hands . Trains have wifi

My mother once put sweetcorn in a chicken tikka and I was so angry I could have thrown it across the room. Food is an emotional thing

at your mum Tidey

Green peppers do taste cack, don't they?

There are usually more green 'uns in the Sainsbos economy bags too.

I once had a bag of Salt & Shake with 5 bags of salt, but Jamie's trumps that hands down.

I had three pasta tubes in my fabulous betty-spaghetti-twirly-whirly pasta this week. If I'd wanted tubes I'd have bought cheaper pasta. Should I be grumpy? DS was very excited by the turn of events and nearly burst with glee when he found a tube in his tea tonight. It was like when you used to get joined together Shreddies and get all excited about it.

Jamie did you go to the newspapers?
I remember a news story years ago about somebody who found a bag full of salt bags.Was that you?
green,red,yellow and orange peppers are all the same.The green ones are not ripe and can be harvested quicker, that is why there area lot of them.
