McDonald’s does this on every commercial now. I’ve actually noticed it for a few years - it was that obvious. Now you won’t be able to watch or listen to any of their commercials without it bothering you. You’re welcome.
Often, when some joint is hawking the latest sandwich, they’ll tell us all these fabulous ingredients are “on a bakery bun.” Isn’t that where everybody gets their buns? Aside from the steel ones, I mean.
That Salmon story reminds me of this Mr. Show gag.
Maybe this is just me, but I consider “bakery” to be a shop where bread is baked on the premises. I don’t consider factory-made buns sold in supermarkets to be “bakery” buns.
Essential oils. Far more potent lemony flavor than juice in a much smaller amount, and zero calories. What I want to know is how they emulsify it in a bottle of water for such a long time. When I make lemon water with e.o., it floats to the top and I have to keep shaking it every time I pick it up.
I can has *that *pan-fried?!?! :eek:
I see your point, but the fast food place buys their “bakery buns” from the same factory-size bakery that makes their regular buns. A great big bakery is just a storefront bakery that became very successful. Marvin Holsum and Jake Bunny started small, just like Hideo Panera. No, not really. I made up the part about Marvin, Jake, and Hideo. 
It’s already been done. It’s called lard.
Now what I really want to see is somebody with the balls to make a product that contains 100% lard and advertise it as a selling point.
“Now made with 100% lard, no hydrogenated vegetable shortening, or fillers. Guaranteed the best taste! Just like Grandma used to make!”
I don’t think there really is this magic diet food called lard, with it’s no hydrogenated fats or fillers.
I would like to know more about such a product. i’m sure it must be loaded with sugars or else it has a bunch of chemicals in it. Right?
Who said anything about it being a diet food? Fuck the jingoism, adspeak, and propaganda of this so called health revolution in America. It’s just snake oil bullshit from the food companies and the Government. They can shove their studies up their ass.
Lard is neither a filler nor hydrogented, and I guarantee it tastes better.
Oh man, I just had a discussion along these lines last night with my fiance and roommate.
I was making microwave popcorn and I noticed the box had “100% Whole Grain!” triumphantly plastered on the front.
I showed it to the others in the house. It’s a box of corn kernels, what else is there but whole grains?!
I laughed about that for a while
I am definitely asking that next time I see that phrase. Mangetout, you would have loved my reaction: I read it, felt the glee wash over me, then guffawed loudly. It was like slow motion. You’ve made my week.
The local market (=“farmers market”, I think in the U.S.) has a stall that sells “Organic Water”
Ummm…I can think of a lot of organic things that might get into my water. Cowpats, for instance. Or flies. Or a dead possum. I’m pretty sure there’s nothing organic that I want in there though.
On the “sneaky advertising” front, one of my current pet hates is on many boxes of breakfast cereal “Low G.I. (when served with milk)”. Yes, that would be because MILK is low G.I. So just drink a glass of milk! Why add your crappy cereal to the mix?
Because Honeycomb’s BIG!
Yea, Yea, Yea!
BIG BIG Tatse and a BIG BIG Bite.
My Mom works for a company that makes flavors. Legally you can claim “natural flavoring” if you flavoring is derived from anything in nature, no matter how unrelated to the actual flavor it is. Apparently the chemists make flavors out of some seriously random things. (It is neat to know someone who can read and understand the full ingredient list on foods. Though usually when she’s done explaining I don’t want to eat it anymore)
Funny anecdote: They have a slurpee/slushie machine that they use to sample & demonstrate flavors. They’ll make a batch for testing and then employees can help themselves as well. Usually people stick post-its on it to label what is in it at the moment. One of the chemist’s in my Mom’s division had a strawberry lemonade flavor in there that was very yummy and popular among the employees, so it went quickly. She went down in the afternoon and was excited to see the label still up, and got herself a glass.
Someone had forgotten to change the label, and it was meat flavored. Just thinking about the meat slurpee still gives me a giggle. Talk about gross.
Devil, thanks for trying to fight my ignorance but I use lard all the time when I cook. (well maybe not all the time)
My tongue was firmly in my cheek.
I guess I’m just not that funny of a guy.
