just made some angel delight, pour powder from packet, add milk and whisk and thought I'd look at the ingredients on the reverse.

propane 1,2 diol esters of fatty acide, yum, my favourite.

but it states:Allergy Advice: Contains Milk*

* Comes from the added milk.

WTF ??

I have noticed that a few things which had water as the primary ingredient, now list 'aqua' - what is aqua if not water, and why the change?

i wouldnt worry about the esters of fatty acid... thats just a posh way of saying processed fats

I bought an air powered nail gun from Alda a while ago. It came in a plastic box and inside it was wrapped in a plastic bag. The bag was printed with 'warning, plastic bags can be dangerous'.

I chuckle every time I see Nytol with "warning, may cause drowsiness". Bloody well hope so, that's why I bought them!

We had a bag of monkey nuts in the office yesterday.

Usual warning was there 'contents may contain nuts'

But it also had:

'produced in a factory which processes nuts'

Well no shi7 sherlock!

As for the Aqua thing, its an international standard set by INCI (International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients) so you would normally see it on make up or shampoo etc.

And theres me thinking the the joke was Flak MONKEY eating MONKEY NUTS.

Did I miss something?

I find the instructions on specifically children's medication amusing - "Do not drive or operate machinery." I'll have to keep them away from their toy trains then!

There was a teenager in Tesco's yesterday looking at big tvs. See asked her dad 'What does 1080 mean - is that the price?'....for real.

i am assuming that no monkeys were harmed during the harvesting of these nuts?

02GF74 - 13/5/10 at 12:45 PM
