Silly Labels

[Conager]

On microwave popcorn:

"Made with whole grain." - Popcorn will not pop of it does not have an intact kernel.

"Gluten Free" - Gluten comes from wheat, so popCORN would not have gluten.

Any and all Prop 65 or CARB crap.

I laff every time I see, "Organic" on food.

LOTS of examples around

I worked in regulatory compliance at a big food company for several years and some of the silly label language is simply young marketing people trying to make a name for themselves in their company, some are desperate attempts to stand out in a crowded marketplace and some are caused by truly idiotic regulations - Prop 65 is a good example.

(California simply created an extortion industry with a silly product labeling law called Proposition 65. Hundreds of activist groups, lawyers, consultants and state regulators have very well paying jobs because of this one law that sucks money of of the rest of the country via the higher costs of compliance we all pay on the products we buy that have to comply with Prop 65 - and the cost of paying off the Prop 65 industry.)

Peanut Butter - contains nuts!

A few decades ago, chlorophyll was the saleable ingredient. It was in shampoo, toothpaste, and food products marketed as the new wonder ingredient.

All the packaging was green.

Until someone pointed out that goats live almost exclusively on chlorophyll and their breath stank.

Similar marketing trends have been coconut oil, soya, Q10, etc - all sold as the wonder ingredient.

That's nuts, since goobers ain't actually nuts but legumes.

Billboard:

"Complete Cremation - $750"

How much for medium rare?

You can dance if you want to,

If your friends don't dance
well they're no friends of mine.

Proposition 65 sounds like a good idea.

It's crap. Wanna know what causes cancer? LIFE causes cancer. Fuck your labels.

Lost in translation.

Could be the meat burrito of lovers or a burrito made from lovers meat.

Up here things can get lost in translation.
On occasion you will see: made in dinde.

Which is French for turkey. As in the bird.

Obviously the place is Turkey.

Gluten contains two main proteins Gliadin and Glutenin. It is the Gliadin which causes most problems. Wheat is the commonest source, but it is also found in Rye, Barley, and Spelt, in fact any grass of the tricum family.

I don't know why, but the title to the thread made me think of Paul McCartney.




Okay I do know why...
