Appetizing to say the least....
The biggest lie is “Easy Open” because it never is!
bfl
Nope, they’re correct. The typical serving size for canned or bottled beer is 12 oz., so 16 oz. is 1- 1/4 servings. Just confusing semantics.
Mea culpa. 3 is 1/4 of 12. 4 is 1/4 of 16. Oh well, that’s why I use calculators.
In the movie "Anchorman", there is a guy who likes to go after "the ladies". He has a cologne which contains pheromones and he explains -- in an ultra smooth and tremendously confident voice -- that "80% of the time, it works every time."
Will Ferrell's response: "That ... that doesn't even make sense."
Always hated when “juice cocktails” and such say, “Made with 100% real juice,” but then say “5% juice.” Also guilty: “Made with 100% whole grains” which is worst, because they usually don’t ever have the part that says, “95% de-germed flour.”
Yup, the reason your food doesn’t look like what’s shown in the ad, is that what’s shown in the ad isn’t food.
[[”That ... that doesn’t even make sense.”]]
It does if you’re drunk enough
That whole grain bread uses wood pulp for “fiber” fairly frequently, too.
Reminds me of CRYSTAL WHITE dish soap thirty years ago that came in a big plastic bottle. One day, a thinner bottle was introduced with about a quarter to a third less soap in it for the same price as the big bottle.
The advertisement read...NEW! EASIER TO GRASP BOTTLE!
Reminds me of the advertisement fifty years ago for a juice drink with “MORE FOOD ENERGY THAN OTHER BRANDS!”
The food energy was excess sugar.
When he was in the hamburger place.
Nope.
Product of Thailand and China.
Two of the most polluted places to get food stuff.
been awhile since i’ve seen it- will have to watch it gain— don’t recall the scene-
There used to be lots of jokes about food in the 1880s having sawdust in bread, plaster in milk, and other adulterants in various foods. Did I mention the rotted meat in sausages?
I still remember back in 1961 when WOLF brand Chili was loaded with gristle with very little meat. It is much better today although hamburger bought at Walmart is still loaded with gristle.
Some canned tomatoes contain just the stem and end pieces.
LOL
Adulterated meat was no joke. Upton Sinclair’s novel, “The Jungle” exposed it, leading to health regulations and inspections.
Half the population of several western Canadian provinces live in Arizona for half the year. It sometimes leads to confusion. :-)
