Ok, where does SuperValu get the bodies?

    I’ve asked Musgrave, the ones who provide SuperValu with their goods, what their new slogan means and they ignored me.

    “Real food, real people”

    As far as I can see, it can only mean one thing – they’re turning their customers into cannibals, like in the Sci-fi novel, Soylent Green”. I know that Musgrave is a bit top-heavy with protestants, operating from their little Cork oasis in this Catholic republic, so perhaps it’s part of some conspiracy to stick it to the rest of us for religious reasons.

    We don’t know what’s hanging up in the cold-stores, so what are us concerned citizens going to do about these unscrupulous people.

    I don’t want my old Aunt Maggie for dinner, not even with a nice Chianti and some fava beans.

    How do we know what we are getting?

    Well they had to switch to using people since grinding up the letter 'E' from the end of all their shop signs will only go so far.

    Perhaps the source of the SuperValu "meat" has been staring us in the face for years. Check out the shop of your local man in the blood-stained overalls, and possibly a couple of fingers missing. Above most of the butchers' shops is the description "Family Butchers" - a blatant display of bad taste, in more ways than one. I've never dared asked any of these people how much they would charge for butchering a family, especially when they're holding a meat-cleaver!

    Actually what you really need to do is train your drivers, make usre they are late so yes food is free but still, give him a nice tip, its in his pocket he is happy and if he gets a delivery to your address the next day then he will be late again meaning more free food for you and a nice tip for the driver

    At the moment, only Musgrave's HQ, but the rest of it will be if Musgrave/SuperValu start selling truck-loads of half-price sausages for those customers with "catholic" tastes.

    Than the driver gets fired for lateness.

    Super Valu are now selling School Books or are they?
    They are advertising anyway "Super Valu School Books"
    at Schoolbooks.ie.on Google Adwords.If Super Valu has
    such an weird interest in selling school books why dont
    they just stock the whole range and stop the messin.
    Is this false advertising?Check out their adwords
    campaign and see. A few years ago they advertised "Free
    School Books."
