    It's just a marketing blurb, it means nothing. Like "Frosties - They're Grrreat" or "Tallaght - Not as bad as you think."

    I wonder are they referring to all those plastic "paddies" out there;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 617 ✭✭✭S.R.F.C.


    I like that way it should be pronounced 'Super Valoo', why the **** didn't they just spell it properly?

    Before i started working in Super Valu i was only imaginary. I was dreamed up by the imagination of a 5 year old boy named Johnny. We had all sorts of wacky adventures but then i got a job Super Valu and i became real.

    Since i was no longer imaginary i had to leave Johnny forever.

    Disney were going to make a movie about the whole thing but decided not to because i curse a lot and look at porn. They felt i wasn't a good role model.

    Bah! Story of my life.:mad:

    How have you never been in a Super Valu?!

    Not that it's all that great, just assumed everyone had been there.

    there is one way to be sure that you are buying irish, buy from the local farmers market and local butcher, cheaper and nicer produce, i dont go for the big supermarket and i do find alot of people do same as me, you get the real taste of turnip, parsnip, and cabbage also carrots, anytime i have bought from big outlets it may look like turnip, but it does not taste as nice

    "Super Valu, Real Food, Real People" always struck me as a phrase the Soylent Green marketing department would come up with after they stopped giving a toss.

    There are NO Eastern Europeans employed in my local SuperValu (small town) The owner is known for his policy of only employing locals.

    My cousin works there and she told me he even put an advert for staff in the paper a couple of years ago saying 'Local Staff Wanted'... When a girl from Lithuania replied, he threw the application straight in the bin, saying (In his Eddie Hobbs accent) 'What the fcuk is local about Lithuania?'

    I'd say it'll be a cold day in hell before that racist prick will give a job to anyone that isn't Irish!!
