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

LOL at all the people disappointed to bite into the kitkat wafer - why don't you just buy a plain chocolate bar then? I would feel cheated if the wafer was not in there because that's what a kitkat is!

As for peppers, IMO the green ones are not as foul as everyone is making out but obviously they aren't as good as red. I only buy fresh ones but I always pick out the packs where the red pepper is twice as big as the green!

I'm rushing off to tescos as I type - that's an offer not to be missed

"This is our local sweet shop"

Tesco must think we are all really stupid.

I worked in a supermarket and once a man brought a packet of ham to the customer service desk and suggested we should send it back to the manufacturers.

Somebody on the packaging line had cut a dick shape from a chunk of ham and put it in a packet!!

Luckily the guy thought it was funny. It was in a posh area of Edinburgh where there would have been many cats bum faces if somebody without a sense of humour had found it.

I see your yoyos and Frys, and i raise you a Tunnocks caramel biscuit

PortiaNovmerriment · 23/06/2010 21:23

CwtchyBlueMama · 23/06/2010 21:26

Jamieandhismagictorch · 23/06/2010 21:26

cheesy Portia. Lucy Mangan likes them too, if that makes a difference ....

I see the OP has buggered off I suspect he was a troll

Did you see the article recently about the woman who found a dick shaped chocolate form? She was most upset, went to the papers.

CwtchyBlueMama · 23/06/2010 21:30

Ha Ha i would love to find a dick shaped chocolate form,wonders what shop she bought it from

oldandgreynow · 23/06/2010 21:31

OP I think you need to start getting out more

JacobBlacksBitch · 23/06/2010 21:32

YANBU but I bet they don't give a toss.

Once had a kitkat that was whole chocolate. yum yum, but sent letter of complaint, and I kid you not got - a retail box of kitkats, smarties and lunchbars (a south african chocolate bar) was well happy. Was about 11 at the time!!! My mum let me eat one a day. Lasted a prety long time!!!!

Couldn'tbelieve it when it came to the door, neither could my folks, or any of my friends, I was like the local confectionary store for ages!!

Came back to this country and complained about something and got a £1 voucher.

MisSalLaneous · 23/06/2010 21:36

Ha IloveBafanaBafana, maybe we were spoilt in SA, that's where I got my stash from too! They have however not made a bad choice, I feel it's my duty to support them still.

GeekOfTheWeek · 23/06/2010 21:45

Balloonslayer, the packet wasn't flat. It had a bit of air in it. It was lighter than usual though

I really was that distressed. It was the last packet of cheese and onion and i was hungover.

We got turkey curry on a bed of cabbage once because step-mum had run out of rice.

I hate Christmas left-over meals

Once got an orange Club bar, which was 50% chocolate - only half of it had biscuit. Man, it was delish!

I hate it when I find too many green and yellow fruit pastilles in a tube. Nothing though compared to the time DH let someone else eat all of the fried eggs out of the Haribo he bought me. I was so

I think they should make pure chocolate kitkats - the chocolate is different somehow.

dobbyssocks · 23/06/2010 21:51

I once had a Trio with no biscuit - heaven - I miss Trio's!

PortiaNovmerriment · 23/06/2010 21:54

Triiiiiiiiiio, triiiiiyo

Rockbird · 23/06/2010 21:56

I see my biscuit-less Munchies are going to win no prizes here...

cornsilk5793 · 23/06/2010 21:56

I always thought that the pure chocolate kitkat fingers was a myth but always held out a sliver of hope.

cornsilk5793 · 23/06/2010 21:57

munchies aren't that nice though Rockbird. Biscuitless munchies would be like stale rolos.
