To a certain degree, I don’t consider this a problem; make the growers of broccoli slap a list of what their weeds contain on their product, and it will be longer and scarier. But does anyone find that the time/nutrition/gustatory experience is it
actually in their favor.
(Note: I got called at 2345 last night to fix a batch job that had gone down, and got back to bed about 0120. I think that this post makes sense, but I’ve edited it twice, and may have just missed the more subtle errors.)

That is ridiculous, Kat, especially considering that honey has a longer shelf life than any other food, condiment or otherwise.

His hair is as dark as a blackboard,
I wish he was mine, he’s really divine,
The hero who conquered the Dark Lord.”
Watched a friend open several ridiculously expensive cans of green chili peppers to use in a recipe, she had a handful of green mush for her $5, when she could have bought a few fresh peppers and steamed them. I guess the convenience of cans outweighs the time and energy to prepare fresh.
Last night I had a sick headache. I should have gone to bed, but part of me hasn’t outgrown the “please, just 5 more minutes before bedtime” mentality. So I was laying on the couch with a cold rag on my eyes and forward, half drowsing/half listening to the TV when I swear I heard an ad for a facial product by Dove called “Nutria.” It wasn’t until the commercial was over that the implication sunk in and I asked my hubby, “Was that product really called Dove Nutria?” Of course he hadn’t been listening.
Did Dove really name a facial cleanser after a giant river rat?

Remember when Nestle took over the making of Smarties? (For our non-Canadian friends, SMARTIES in Canada are like M&Ms, NOT those icky sweet-tart candy things - we call those rockets)
I will NEVER, EVER forget the day I was munching on a box of them while reading the ingredients list and noticing the last one being… shellac. :eek:
I mean… Shellac. ::::shudder:::: Thank <insert spiritual character here - if none believed in, insert “Kermit The Frog”> they don’t do it anymore!
Ok, the Dove product is called “Nutrium,” but doesn’t that sound like it should be the singular form of “nutria”? I know they are trying to associate their product with “nutrition” and so on, but I’m afraid I’ll always think of swamp rats.
