Most depressing product in a supermarket?

Enjoy your wood pulp

http://www.kcet.org/living/food/the...eshly-grated-cheese-whats-the-difference.html

I just checked the ingredients of the one in my freezer. 99% cheese, less than 1% potato starch. I'm ok with that. No natamycin or cellulose.

I prefer to read actual ingredient lists than scare articles on the internet.

To be fair, I wouldn't have been surprised if I was convinced I had made a mistake with this product, I don't buy too many processed food for my home cupboard, but this choice seems to be ok.

It's a marketing opportunity.

The pulp and starch will be better for you than the cheese.

Eat shredded cheddar - the healthy option.

Something that would have depressed me many years ago. At Sainsburys this year, on the very first day of the summer holidays in July, was a large Back to School aisle right by the main entrance.

The Daily Mail. Some of them give it away for free, but I wouldn't take a copy if you paid me.

That was my first thought too. Nice one

WhoTF eats SMALL slices?

One horizontal cut down the middle of a normal loaf gives you the only slices you need.

You cut it at all? I have to be careful with these as I can and have eaten a whole one in one go like a gorgeous squidgy chocolate bar.

I need to cut it to get an even spread of butter.

I just end up squashing it as I try to cut it, so I quite like the precut one..

Save spreading by using a whole pack of butter.

Period pads. And if that ain't depressing enough they bloody add VAT to them. Like we have a choice!

You're a nobber in a whole other sense!

Nooooooooooooo, it's lovely on its own.


I'm a bit funny about what gets buttered, toast on its own and sandwiches = ok but beans on toast etc = no

Malt Loaf + Butter = weirdo

Nice to see supermarkets cater for teachers.

Easter eggs on the shelves, at present.

The most depressing site I've seen in a supermarket is the empty space where the bottle of Glenfiddich 15 year old distillery edition used to be. I always promised I'd buy it but the OH always said it was too expensive, even when it went down to £40.

Christmas cards already... not a supermarket but spotted some in a card shop by the entrance this week. Still more than a third of a year to go!

British Heart Foundation in Carlisle had a stand displaying Christmas cards in mid-July.Tell you what is depressing though,little trays of ready mashed potato at £1.50 a pop.Food for the feckless,mind you,if theyre that incapable,charge them double I say!
