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

Balloon - yes I am and I am scaring myself.

DOuble bananas. Two bananas (like conjoined twins) that grew together and did not seperate.
Love Honeys new range?

Liar liar

FellatioNelson · 24/06/2010 09:31

How very dare you madam.

Mumcentreplus · 24/06/2010 09:34

uh huh...

FellatioNelson · 24/06/2010 09:38

Ok, that's it Mumcentrplus you are barred from my cheap chocolate outlets.

I think this may be my favourite thread ever

I once got a wee bottle of tropicana tropical ('5 great fruit juices' or summat like that) and the ingredients said '100% orange juice' so I sent them the label and got a £1 voucher for tropicana back.

Mumcentreplus · 24/06/2010 09:47

...what just happened?

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 24/06/2010 09:48

Blast, fuckety damnation to hell - I used to live in Essex - I could have gone to Braintree or Colchester and bought those misshapes and been the happiest, fattest, most popular (providing I decided to share) mummy ever!! But now I live in Scotland and I don't think dh is going to agree to driving me back to Essex just so I can stock up on chocolate - especially as I am supposed to be trying to get fitter.

Fuckbuggerydamn.

There was a case in our local paper a few years ago about a disgruntled factory worker who was working packing meats for a large supermarket. On the ingredients list he added dog shit He was fired.

Hassled · 24/06/2010 09:53

We have Quality Discount Stores (it's well classy, I tell you. Not a shell suit to be seen in there) nearby, and they sell boxes of broken biscuits. Thinks like Nice and Custard Creams. Why? Why would you ever want a box of broken biscuits?

But a box of broken chocolate bars is a whole different kettle of fish. I'm not too far from Essex and I've heard Colchester Zoo is well worth a trip...

kveta · 24/06/2010 09:55

I'm near essex too, and have also heard that Colchester zoo is good. However, I can't see DP being willing to come with me to a chocolate discount shop, sadly! Maybe we could have a MN meetup there?!

Mumcentreplus · 24/06/2010 09:56

..You can always try your local poundshop/land/hut..

FellatioNelson · 24/06/2010 10:11

Yes definitely. You do that. And I will go to my secret outlets and buy up stock and sell it to you at vast profit, in the layby outside the zoo.

trilliAnasTra · 24/06/2010 10:15

I highly doubt that this is a mixing error. Has anyone ever opened a bag to find they had more red and yellow? No. Never in the history of these so-called 'mixed peppers'.

belly36 · 24/06/2010 10:17

Whoever said that joined together Shreddies means they aren't knitted by nannas is wrong. The nannas are old, some of them are senile and forget to tie off their Shreddie, give them a break.

FellatioNelson · 24/06/2010 10:21

The same logic applies to fruit pastilles and wine gums and jelly babies. There are never as many black ones as represented by all the other colours. And black is the nation's favourite. I know they do this on purpose. Just to be bloody minded. Personally I'm not fussed because I like green, but the rest of the nation must be collectively furious.

Also God, did this when he designed the roast chicken and the roast turkey. He deliberately didn't put enough breast on, to cause family friction on Sundays. The bastard.

You see, I feel so strongly about this I had to tell you twice.

trilliAnasTra · 24/06/2010 10:24

DP is weird, he likes yellow sweets the best, not red or purple.

belly36 · 24/06/2010 10:27

I hate black ones...
