Remember my newest snack food, the Mingles? Those puffy treats made by the Pringles people. I was unhappy because the bags say that a serving is 37 pieces, and each bag contains "about 6" servings. Yet of the two flavors I had tried, the Dill Pickle/Ranch, and the Cheddar/Sour Cream, the first had 5 servings with 7 pieces left over, and the second had exactly 5 servings! That's false advertising! They'd better be described as having "about 5" servings.
Anyhoo... I counted out my last serving of the third flavor, the Sharp White Cheddar/Ranch on Monday. I was shocked to discover that this bag contained EXACTLY 6 SERVINGS! Well! That was newsworthy! So I hollered in to Farmer H, sitting in his recliner with supper.
"Hey! THIS bag of snacks had exactly six servings!"
To which Farmer H replied:
"I would of, but Jack was in the way."
"What in the Not-Heaven are you talking about? That has nothing to do with what I said."
"I didn't take no more pictures of Pepper, because Jack got in the way."
"Okay... not sure what Pepper and Jack have to do with my snacks having the same amount as the label says."
"I thought you was talkin' about the pictures you asked me to take of Pepper."
Once again, I suppose the excuse is that he HEARD ME, but just wasn't listening to me.
I never bother counting out exact servings, if I want something to be in "serves" I'll buy the bag that has smaller individual bags inside, for instance if I am taking treats for the twins and their brothers. Funny how Farmer H just blurts out whatever is in his mind instead of actually answering you.
ReplyDeleteRiver,
DeleteThese don't come in individual packs like regular chips. Farmer H likes to pretend that he hears me. Then when I call him on his ridiculous response, he says, "You know I cain't hear good." I don't know what's so hard about turning off the TV sound and saying, "I didn't hear you."
