On a loosely related topic, does anybody else here get irritated by "serving suggestion" images on food packaging?

Surely a line has been crossed in the "insulting the customer's intelligence" when a bottle of fruit juice shows a picture of the same substance in a glass, annotated as a serving suggestion?

What did they think people would do? Eat it with a fish slice?

Going back a few posts, seriously, does anybody need to be told that eggs contain egg?

What about saying "Fat Free", and then admitting that the product contains fat, but you aren't passing the cost of said fat on to the consumer.  :-D


I's sure somebody has probably tried this already :lol:
