Mine is why do they put a little tab thing (sticky strip) on a big bag of revels etc.. I'm assuming its so you can roll the empty bag up when you've finished and stick it down...

Someone suggested it was to keep the bag sealed but I've never left any in the bag ... Once that bad boys open it's staying that way til it's empty... I have to eat my revels in order see!

A friend bought me a rather classy wine bottle cork. I had to ask "we've been friends for 18 years, WTF have you bought me this?"

A friend once helpfully told me you can freeze leftover wine in ice cube trays.

Only problem is, what the fuck is leftover wine??

It would be more accurate to show three biscuits crammed in a mouth,whole or soggy lumps at the bottom of a tea cup.

The nots could show the bag being upended into someones gaping mouth (reminiscent of feeding hippos).

Now that's what I call serving suggestions.

The one I like is ''Please enjoy Carlsberg Special Brew responsibly''. Got to admire the optimism of that one.

Easy open tabs/Peel here.

When I read that the first thing I do is reach for the nearest tool.

Much of it stems from the suing/compensation culture..

Some dick head will have burned themselves necking a red hot cuppa and won some sort of claim because the cup didn't tell him the contents were hot and hey presto..we need warning signs on cups.

Someone with a nut allergy will have eaten a product with nuts in but no allergy warning and the same thing..

It's all ass covering because people will blame anybody but themselves for their own misfortune...people don't need brains any more, they need instructions and warning labels to guide them through life safely

Bottles of Mineral water.

Branding states how water has trickled its way through various rock layers for 100's, even 1000's of years, blah blah blah!

Then they print a Sell By Date on the bottle!

You buy a big bag of sweets or crisps and it says 'Share bag' or 'Family bag' how about you 'fuck off' as I'm not sharing them with either.

That seems blindingly obvious to me.

Fucking right. I fully understand why they don't print that on it.

Pissed me off when they started printing 'Man size' on bars of chocolate. Bit sexist to say the least
