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

What? Are you mad? Munchies not nice?

Whatever happened to getting double bananas and double yoked eggs? I was always so excited by those as a kid (ok I would probably be very excited now)

double bananas I have never encountered but I got a double yolk the other day. (waitrose eggs you see...)

My best friend and I ran a scam when we were kids.

We used to write to various confectionery companies saying how much we loved their products and we didn't want the company to ever get in trouble.

We used to enclose our 'pocket money' of 20p and say we would go without our weekly chocolate fix this week to make sure the company could keep on making our favourite sweets.

I don't actually have a sweet tooth now, due to over-indulgence in free sweets in childhood.

The farm at the top of my mum's hill has hens that only lay double-yolkers. They're huge! The eggs, not the hens.

I've never had an all-chocolate biscuit bar, which I consider most unfair given my insatiable KitKat habit. I had an empty packet of crisps (er, that'll be an empty crisp packet of air then). I share your pain, whoever wrote that!

Can I just thank you all for an enjoyable read?

DwayneDibbley - I love people like you - they take away the green ones for me.

You are so right, Dwayne - the green ones are definitely the best!

I saw another offer in Tescos recently - one bottle of High Juice blackcurrant squash for 99p or two for £2. But when I bought two, it came up as two individual bottles at 99p each, not a special offer at £2. I was quite disappointed as I was looking forward to hearing the duty manager try to explain the offer to me!

What's a double banana?

I still used to love double or triple cherries: "earrings". Now I put them on DS.

Sounds like something off LoveHoney.

My jaw is dropped at BitterandTwisted's chutzpa.. Seriously

And of course...

One christmas we bought a tin of quality street, and it had about 15 mini yorkies in on top, (less quality street sweets though) and nothing on the tin about it. Was quite pissed, if I wanted yorkie, I would have bought them!!

Apparently though, a few people got them.

Stretch how did you discover others had also received the imposter Yorkies? Crimewatch?

I haven't read all the thread (bit long)

SO apologies if it's moved on from the the original green pepper theme.

But I just wanted to say green peppers are cheaper for the supermarket to buy so that might be why there are more in there. They're all the same plant but they go green first, then yellow, then red. So if they are picked green they are ready earlier and therefore cheaper.

I picked them for a few months in Queensland, hence my extensive pepper knowledge.

I was allowed to pick them for myself and take them home but unfortunately I can't stand them.

As you were.

I once worked in a theatre sweet kiosk, we used to weigh all the kit kats on the coin weighing/counting machine to find the ones that didn't have biscuit in, just chocolate.
It wasn't a very busy theatre.

you are clearly insane if you buy frozen peppers. chop em up stick em in a bag and freeze em.

PMSL at "It wasn't a very busy theatre"

I can't believe I'm here vacillating about whether to write to Expensive Cheese Company about finding an actual whole insect entombed in my Brie, and there you lot are gorging on whole-chocolate Kit-Kats and writing off for free sweets.

whatshesaid - i had the honour of working in a pepper-packing factory in Queensland - I wonder if i packed the peppers you picked

wow

god that job was shit

someone got their finger trapped in the machine and all his blood and gore made it's way around the factory on the conveyer belts, twas rank, but oddly exciting waiting to see the finger parts swoop past..

JamieThunderpants Mixed peppers have no place in a lasagne I tell you.. You are a heretic.

OP, YABNU. Things like this can ruin one's day.

Green peppers are cheaper because they are just unripened red peppers. Quicker turnaround, see? Like mild cheese and this year's wine.

Frozen onions have their place - can be useful if you run out of fresh, but frozen mushrooms are the work of the devil.

Re: the KitKat thing. the best thing ever are boxes of chocolate misshapes and broken chocolate biscuits. Yes, they are broken and misshapen, it's true - but they are consigned to the 'duff pile' because the ratio of biscuit/toffee/whatever to solid chocolate has gone badly awry - heavily in favour of the chocolate. And this is a flaw, apparently? How??

And cheapy cheap cheap. You can get days worth of full chocolate satisfaction to proper nausea level for about the price of 5 measly sized Dairy Milks.

Where do you get these things, Fellatio?

I love peppers in Lasagne red and yellow not really green amoungst other unmentionable veg that surely should not be in the dish...everyone loves it!!

anyone else saying to themselves:

Whatshesaid picked a pack of peppers
Fustyarse packed the pack of peppers whatshesaid picked.
