One reason alone not to buy Tesco Cereals....

WoollyRedHat · 02-07-2008 12:07AM #1

I got a box of Tesco's Corn flakes today and on opening the bag and pouring the cornflakes into the bowl they also flooded out of the other end of the bag, leaving cornflakes everywhere. It's happened before as well. Worst packaging for some prodcuts..

How did they get through the box?

If your one of those people who takes the bag out of the box to pour the cereal out then it's your own fault and that is done deliberately to make you stop doing that.

You owe me 7 seconds.....27 when I have finished typeing this.
What are you going to do about it?

The tesco number of holes guy has ****ed up for the last time.

Now you know what it is to be owned.

You're doing it wrong

I'd like to point out that Tesco have lowered the price of the 750gm cornflakes meaning the 750gm now work out cheaper per KG, then the 1kg pack, which used to work out cheaper (as most bigger packs usually do).

Wait... they poured out the top as well as the bottom? Were you having breakfast on the International Space Station?

What about the lack of nutrients and the added potassium benzoate.

Thrill · 02-07-2008 12:17AM

Buy Kelloggs instead of cheapo, store brand cornflakes. You get a better class of bag.

I think this is a prime case of doing it wrong.

Lady · 02-07-2008 12:21AM

Ah here now, what way do you pour your cereals?

Do it right and no problems will occur*

Hole in yer cheapo cereal bag? Wur havin us a reshessun. Get used to having your food air-lifted in from now on buddy.

WoollyRedHat · 02-07-2008 12:27AM

I take the bag out as the box top keeps on getting in the way while pouring. Bottom line is this wouldn't happen with Kellogs.

Astronauts have to get some breakfast too you know.

TBH, you're best off complaining here.

Joe Cool · 02-07-2008 12:30AM

Whatever about their cereals their Salt and Vinegar Crunchy Sticks are amazing.

They do leave your mouth numb and contain a stroke inducing amount of salt but they really are tasty...well up until the point your mouth goes numb.

:cool:

Kellogg's are a brand name.

I buy the tesco brand and put them into a kellogg's box there's no difference that i can tell, i then buy drink with the money i saved.

I always get this picture in my head when I think of Tesco brand beer of some employee taking a leak into a bunch of cans in the back store.....

And they pump the poor corn flakes full of hormones in horrible overcrowded barns until they reach maturity.

It's true! Pay the little extra if you don't want your kids to shoot up! Gaeltachts are the problem though, kids get sent away then the Ban An Ti will insist on feeding them the tesco type corn flakes and the kids have grown a foot the next time you see them!

Edit: You don't understand, it's the flaps!
Anyway, I felt that it was important enough to bring this up with tescos as it could effect my quality of life. Their feedback forum is quite funny, is open to inventiveness.

Fixed that little error.

Why do you put Tesco cornflakes into a kelloggs box?
