Fancied a Heinz sticky toffee pudding for my supper last night, as you do when you have been chanting every village name in north wales down the porcillin telephone...( See my rockys not well thread ), and I though, erm FOOD....!
Followed the instructions as printed on the tin, bearing in mind I was as high as a kite on cough syrrup, menthol sweets and olbas oil.....
It said open can and stand in boiling water for 20 minutes...YOUCH...cant get me boots on now!
Ok a bloody daft thread, but come on, it's me after all? Try to read some of the daft things they REALLY put on the tins these days, and it makes you smile? Did you know Ice cubes from the supermarket contain...water?? Yup seen em on the packet, well i never?

Daft innit...?
I did a thread ages ago about the daft things on packets. Companies have become so obsessed with claims and the likes. I was in hysterics when I first saw Brazil Nuts with...contain traces of nuts... but I have progressed to cooking instructions now! I like to read the old cookery book every now and then, and discover just how much you are supposed to have handy for the thing you are to make? Like yeah? It usually works out cheaper to buy the dam thing, than to get all the stuff and cook it! In't life weird?

another thing that makes me laugh about packets is when they put a picture on the front... and feel the need to point out it is a "serving suggestion"!
when i open a tin of soup... i am gutted to find that it is not already in the bowl with a polished silver spoon sitting beside it! how do they the companys get away with doing me over like this!

I built a brick Barbeque some time ago. I Used about 100 bricks and my car was almost doing wheelies as I drove home with them in the boot. I bought a BBQ base-tray and shelf from B&Q which came in a box less than an inch thick.
On the front of the box was a picture of a brick barbeque. In the bottom corner I found the words:
Bricks not included!!! :doh:

If I were the supplier, I would have much preferred to say bricks included and slung a handfull of Lego in the box. Wouldn't even need to see peoples faces when they got it home, just knowing would be enough.
I remember when a friend of mine first got her microwave. She decided to cook a frozen pie or something in it. Read the instructions - Defrost for 5 mins then cook on full power for 6 mins. So she put the pie on the side patiently waited 5 mins the shoved it in the microwave! :lol2: Then wondered why i was still frozen in the middle!
She hates people telling that story ...... so thought I would pop it on the internet!
