Grocery follies

[kiya]

They changed the packaging on the shampoo I buy so I couldn't find it for a while. I hate that. I am a pattern-matcher, people, I wasn't looking for a wacky bottle with funky curves in, all renamed and stuff.

Related conversation, after locating shampoo but still whining about it:

Me: I have brand loyalty because I fear change!
teinedreugan: *strangled noise*
Me: Don't choke on your own sinuses.
teinedreugan: That uvula causes me more problems ....

Also: the fact that my beef jerky is labelled 'high in protein' makes me very, very sad.

Is it better or worse than being labelled 'ZERO CARBS!'? :)

*reads the label*

6g carbohydrate per serving, actually. ;)

WHY DON'T YOU LIKE PROTEIN LABELING

WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA

Ok, speaking as a diabetic, putting carbs in perfectly good dried meat is just plain wrong. :)

(teriyaki? ;)

Couldn't find teriyaki, this is the default kind.

0g trans fat? :}

What irritates me is when something like wheat germ is labelled "naturally low in fat!" It's frigging wheat germ! Of course it's low-fat!

Lollipops. I've seen lollipops labeled "FAT FREE!" as if there were any other kind.

I'm waiting for drinking water to be labeled "LOW CARB, 0 CALORIE, FAT FREE, ANTI-OXIDANT ENHANCING, NATURALLY HYDRATING BEVERAGE."

Well, bottled water (like all foods) must be labeled with "Nutrition Facts". From this label you can be edified by the knowledge that the water has no fat, no calories, and is not a significant source of vitamins A or C.

I haven't seen the anti-oxidant labeling, but I have seen bottled water labeld "Low Carb! No Caolories!"

It's almost as bad as the low-carb bread.

they did that to my shampoo a while back. took a nice earthy-brown bottle and made it a chikified purple with pink lettering. sad, really.
