I can't believe it's not more butter

[Mick Annick]

I'm an Anchor butter man myself. Always have been always will be and I don't spare the calories when it goes on my toast. Remember those little pats of butter you used to get wrapped up like a little pacrcel? One or two of those per slice.

Speaking of mini packages. Next time look out for the sizing. Anchor is now only available in 200g pats (at the typical supermarket). All other butters are 250g. Pretty sure Anchor was too until it started hitting £3 quid a pop! When you see it, you'll see it but if you're not looking properly, not paying attention, it does look the same size as "usual".

Is that the stuff from New Zealand? Support local farmers, we’ve a few of them on here!

The best way to clog up your arteries is Ghee, especially when it’s home made, always with anchor butter

Unfortunately I am able to confirm my arterial system is in remarkably fine fettle. Clean as a whistle. I had the full inspection due to the side affects of some other condition. The mechanical systems are fine. Sadly I can also confirm some other major routes are equally clear.

It's not the results of the inspections that roil me, it's the way they do them...

Each procedure more terrible than the last.

I grew up in Wiltshire. I used to live on it. Toast is merely a vehicle for conveying sufficient quantities of butter into the mouth.

Using a spoon is frowned upon...

Tesco are doing it with loads of stuff, just so they can brag that the price is frozen... bags or sprouts which are a 1/4 full, packs of strawberry's with a half dozen rolling around the box.....

I buy small tins of tuna, I have done for several years, they come with a ring pull top so they can be opened simply and easily and snacked on. The ones I bought yesterday have no ring pull, to probably save a penny a can, and I now have to open them using a messy can opener.. that I had to dig through drawers to find.

Before covid or any of the last few years of nonsense Tesco suddenly started selling their pack of 8 bacon rasher's as packd of 7 !

Human beings are only a couple of DNA links away from chimpanzees, but it doesn’t make us the same!

I'm not too sure that's correct nowadays...

Every man should always know where his can opener is.

And bananas, I believe.

Agree plus it's disingenuous to "compare" the gene sequence or DNA structure between any carbon based life form let alone such similar species. The tiniest difference in the base level instructions can have a gigantic effect on the end result. Similar to the butterfly effect I suppose. One might argue human DNA is only 10% different from a plank of wood...

Which would be awesome. I always wanted to be a tree.

You could try both...

I've always wanted to be a cat

You could then post a picture of yourself in the cat thread.
How awesome would that be.

I can't believe anyone would prefer to eat something conjured up in a lab over the real thing, personally..

Those rules must still apply when drinking ale Heineken or a small specialised brewery?

I heard on the radio talk show that with the shrinkflation not only do you get less product the product may be taxed as a snack not groceries.

WTD is that? My eyes can't compute that image, I've had a bottle of wine though)

It would indeed be awesome but I'd get banned for posting a picture of a sexual act on myself

Every man should always know where his can opener is.

On the wall rack alongside the screwdrivers, pliers and hammers all strategically placed for instant opening.

Asked an AI model to generate me an image...

Is this "better"?

 

[roofman]

What scares me about all this shrinkflation is not the quantity but the contents quality to meet low prices, i mean something has to give to retain the illusion of "the same"

Only 10% .You've met my mate then?

Aha, the butterfly effect, sometimes hither, sometimes thither...
