    OK,.......enough is enough....

    .....Serving Suggestion

    I do NOT need telling that the old english country farmhouse kitchen, pictured on the cereal box, isn't included....nor is the large ornate bowl, NOR the milk....NOR the freshly varnished ripe berries liberally scattered all over on the picture. Iknow that, cos I know what a strwaberry looks like....and THATS not real.

    I understand people need protecting from high APR's, excessive bank charges and torture.... but this cereal box, brand new, weighs less than a helium baloon, and makes a light noise when I shake it.

    I know there isn't a full milk jug in it.

    reminds me of the fella that took his disposable BBQ back to B & Q and complained that there was no meat in it like it showed on the box. The very understanding staff member agreed to take the item back and give the gent a full refund, to which he replied...

    "Thats all very well, but what about the other 4 i have in the freezer at home"

    Your crunchy nut cornflakes may contain nuts or traces of nuts as well. The swines.

    Yes it's a sad sign but these warnings are put there for a reason. 1 is to obviously inform the less educated as to what it may contain, but also I expect they are there as a sort of way of getting out of lawsuits if people do react to the nut traces within the food as well.

    I say we let Darwinism take it's course personally and remove all the warning labels. This should clean the gene pool up a little bit

    beef pot noodles are vegetarian-approved, so it's not all THAT simple

    it always makes me chuckle when I see a can of beans or something with a pic of beans in a bowl and it says 'serving suggestion', and here's me just about to eat em out of a can like a chump!
