Nutrition information based on unrealistic serving sizes.

I've seen an individually wrapped muffin "servings per pack: 2".

That reminds me of the joke where a factory has a big machine break down. They call in a specialist to fix it.

The specialist looks at the machine for a moment, hits it with a small hammer and it starts working instantly.

But on being told that the repair cost is $500, the factory owner is outraged and asks how that can possibly be justified for less than a minute's work.

"Well, it's $5 for use of the hammer, $495 for knowing exactly where to hit the machine."

I suspect that work on it stopped when someone asked "so, exactly how are we planning to stand it up?"

Wouldn't it also have sales tax added anyway?

Poundland really would charge £1.

 

I grew up knowing a fishcake as being fish sandwiched between two slices of potato covered in batter.

But when I ventured out into the wider world beyond Sheffield, fishcakes were strange breaded minced-up fish things.

Was my whole childhood a lie?
