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

But are black jelly babies/ fruit pastilles the nations favourite?

In our household (4 people, 2 adults, 1 male 1 female, both in our 40's, DD 7 years, and DD 4 years.) Only one of us prefers the black ones, 2 like red, and I love green or yellow.

I would be interested in seeing the survey that produced theses results, are the surveys done by the same people who produce the statics for L'Oreal et al?

You should come to mine Fellatio as I am the only one who will eat the breast meat so we have loads left over. Meanwhile my dh wrestles the dd1 and dd2 for the legs and wings. I have started doing it in the slow cooker and putting in extra legs just to keep the peace.

Well it's alwasy been my experience that people (spesh children) will rootle for the balck ones. We are it the south-east/east Anglia? Where are you? Perhaps it's a regional thing, like chips, mushy peas and gravy versus olives and halloumi.

Melbourne.

But I think it is cultural as my dh is West Indian and his family chuck away the breast meat. They think I am a weirdo.

I'm sure they don't think you are stupid. But they might think you are a bit odd.

Where do you live stayingdavidtenantsgirl?

There is a cadbury outlet shop in the Livingston Designer Outlet. 700g of mis-shapes for £2.99

wha??...Caribbean chuck away breast meat? surely you jest??

We are in the South West, do you really think this is a regional thing?

savoycabbage - if you keep adding in additional legs you are going to mess with the whole global chicken balance. Who's going to want a legless chicken? Legs need to remain with the rest of the chicken, otherwise there'll be some crack in the cosmic wall scenario. You didn't think it through, now did you?

No, not really, but I can't stop with rubbish spewing off my keyboard this morning.

Quite right Hassled. That's why we should never allow gender selection IVF. That and the global chicken imbalance situation could end the world as we know it.

Mannn..thats how the world will end...the CIB..ChickenImBalance...

I'll have a legless chicken Hassled.

When I was growing up the legs were for 'men'. I think this was a cunning ploy on behalf of my mum to keep the nice breast meat for us girls.

I just took an apple out of the bag I bought from M&S yesterday and it had a dead snail dried onto it. I have uploaded a photo to my profile. (Not making this up)

Should have bought chocolate misshapes instead. Bloody Weight Watchers.

That's nice. You could saute him in garlic and white wine and feed to a borrower.

On a non-food related thing.

One of my friends is a graphic designer. He was once designing the packaging for B&Q light bulbs and for a joke he typed "100 watt fish lips" onto the packaging instead of "100 watt light bulbs". Anyhoo somehow it didn't get changed back and lots and lots of them ended up in B&Q until some customer noticed and complained. Friend was fired but The Sun picked up the story and tried to hunt him down. He made us all swear we wouldn't shop him to The Sun. Maybe this was my one and only chance to make big bucks in a kiss and tell type scenario

I believe those things can be worth money to collectors.

Mawbroon - I love you!!

Dastardly..you missed out..

Cannot decide whether to wash and eat the apple, or return it to M&S feigning high dudgeon in hopes of blagging free apples (unlikely)

I definitely missed out - worth actual money!!!

Fellatio, I am on the other side of the world, your cheap chocolate outlets are safe from me.

Don't know why I asked, really. Maybe i was hoping you'd name somewhere that does internatinoal delivery.

We once found a wine gum that was actually three all joined together so that they looked like a cock and balls. it still tasted the same but it felt strange to eat it.

You should practise more, clearly.
