Bad logic

Mint Aero

People buying 2l of low fat milk when they should be buying a litre of the normal stuff then filling up with a litre of water in a jug to save money. Buy 500ml if you're a skimmed milk drinker and top up with 1.5l water.

Women. Paying through the nose for blunt razors when a man razor would cut their hair 10 times better and last 10 times longer.

So AH any other example of people making poor life decisions daily.

A person I know spending just over €50 in Dunnes to make use of the 10 euro off voucher - so the final cost is something like €42.

When I gently suggested (phrased as a question, like it had just occurred to me) that they could have got much the same stuff in Aldi or Lidl (where they usually go) for less than €42, the response was 'but it's 10 euro off.'

Plenty of people, myself included, much prefer the taste of low fat milk over full fat milk and indeed the taste of Coke Zero over ordinary sugar-loaded, thirst-inducing Coke.

Centrifugal milk??! Are ye high? Bleedin thick. What ya think happens? they spin milk in a washing machine til the fats gone or there's a bird in a lab coat with milk in a petri dish and she's extracting fat molecules with a tweezer!!! Har har har! Bleedin thicks. It's diluted ta feck ya gowls.

Driving further for a cheaper loaf of bead. Save 50 cent on petrol but spend a fiver on fuel .
It's a similar false economy to travel to Northern Ireland for grocery /alcohol, unless you live near the border . I don't know why people don't factor in the cost of petrol /diesel.

Aero bars, i could just melt down chocolate and blow bubbles into it with a straw and put it in the fridge

And then you could flavour it with toothpaste and you would have home-made Mint Aero!

The quicker, modernized way of making low-fat and skim milks is to place the whole milk into a machine called a centrifugal separator, which spins some or all of the fat globules out of the milk. This occurs before the milk is homogenized, a process which reduces all the milk particles to the same size so that natural separation doesn't occur anymore.

True but maybe putting it on the long finger due to lack of money !

The fat rises to the top naturally, to make skimmed milk it is then skimmed off.

That'll be why it is called skimmed.

Minty, Minty, Minty, where do you think they get cream from? They steal it from the full-fat milk to make skimmed milk.

That's what skimmed milk is - the poor remainders of cream theft :eek:

You think of that the next time you're licking whipped cream off the body of a beautiful lady, bloke or lady-bloke.

I know someone who spends hours doing the grocery shopping. Goes from Aldi to Lidl to Dunnes to Super Valu. All to save about 3 euro. Will drive miles to save 1 cent a litre on Diesel. Never any more than a tenner of diesel in the car, the fuel light is permanently on.
I've tried to ask about the diesel, "you make a 7 mile round trip to save 1cent a litre" "so what, it's 1cent more in my pocket"

BOIL an egg to perfection without costly egg timers by popping it into boiling water and driving away from your home at exactly 60mph. After three miles, phone your wife to take the egg out the pan.

I read the thing about adding water to milk and thought that was the bad logic..

It's spread this this part of the word.

Lot of people blaming nebulous "health problems" for the fact that they are grossly overweight.

New a girl very overweight , said she had a slow metabolism.

She ate chocolate spread on toast every morning for brekkie and chips with whatever every dinner. And I mean every.

Funny, how someone who thinks they have a slow metabolism would choose to eat chocolate spread for breakfast when they know the results would be even worse for them than a person with normal metabolism.
