I went to a McDonald's one time and ordered half a dozen chicken nuggets. The cashier said he couldn't serve me that. Err... what can you give me? He said they had six, ten and twenty nuggets. You can sell me six but you can't sell me half a dozen?

"No sir, we can't sell half orders of anything."

Um... yeah.

Once I was at a restaurant with some friends and family. Someone came in late and took her seat. She mentioned there was a clown out by a nearby store. Another woman at the table - mentioning no names - said, "Was it a real clown or just someone dressed like a clown?" She said this in all honesty, she wasn't making a joke.

It got the strangest reaction... we all just stopped eating and looked at her. Then we went back to eating - I mean really, what can you say to that?

One thing that always makes me wonder about how stupid manufacturers think consumers are: I get a jar of peanut butter and it has an allergy warning telling me it contains peanuts. I'm glad they told me that... someone who's allergic might eat it thinking it didn't have any peanuts in it.

But like they say, although companies have been sued for warning labels they didn't put on a product, no company has ever been sued for a warning label they DID put on a product.

Actually I have seen "lemonade" that contained no trace of lemon at all, just the artificial flavor. So I can see someone thinking there wouldn't be any lemon in it.

What I can't see is someone PREFERRING "lemonade" with no real lemon in it.

Speaking of which... why do they put artificial flavoring in "lemonade" and real lemon in dish soap? Isn't that backward?

VEEEERRRY backward -____- but yeah a lot of lemonades have just the artificial lemon powder stuff...but it was just like, you dont want lemonade cause it has lemons?? My only deduction was she thought it was soda water... But it was just the way she was like "i dont want this lemonade as it had lemons in it..." And then later one of my other colleagues told me she had asked if we had lemonade as it was for her husband's gin, so she suggested 7up, nope, it has lemons in it hahaha..

Friend told me about a medical poster she seen and it said these things are not part of your 5 a day: the poster had a picture of a dairy milk fruit and nut, and a terry's chocolate orange.... And i thought to myself, who would believe they were?! :p :confused:

BLASPHEMY! I always eat a chocolate orange a day. Dark chocolate please, the kind with real orange oil (Terry's just has orange flavoring, but trust me there's nooooo comparison to the real thing.) "A chocolate orange a day keeps.... something away." I'll work out what it keeps away later. Right now it's time to eat a chocolate orange. :D

One of the most interesting moments at work was when a customer got upset over a small drink. Something about he thought he got one and he didn't, or he thought he got two and he only got one or something. He was so upset he looked like he was about to come over the counter. I started edging up toward the front just in case he did.

Really? Red face, accelerated respiration, yelling, about ready to punch someone over a dollar drink? Sad.

Do people in America sue companies for packaging foods with no warning labels?? I mean, why should a peanut butter jar have a warning label for peanut allergy? That is just ridiculous. I read somewhere that a woman sued a coffee shop for giving her drink without the warning label for hot drinks. I was like "What???? Isn't she supposed to know that her drink is hot?"

Sorry, but you guys are the other extreme. While customer power is yet to fully mature in India, it is way overdone in the US.

They have to put warning labels on products. Many foods that are manufactured here, for example, let's say chocolate, go through a production mill machine, but that machine may also be used for packaging peanuts. Thus the need for the chocolate bar to have a label saying "may contain traces of peanuts." I'm sure they clean the machines off after using each food product, but traces may still remain. :)

This girl and I were traveling down the interstate and passed a car dealership with a huge US flag flapping in the wind. About an hour or two later we came back the same way and passed the flag and she said "that's so weird! That flag was flying like in that direction (points left) and now it's going the other way."


I should've asked her how many stars were on it just to hear her say "I can't tell, it's moving too fast."

I was driving down the road one day and a friend who gets bored easily was reading signs aloud. This was okay until we came to a highway intersection with a lot of different road numbers posted. He said, "45, 100, 64, 82" and I automatically said, "HIKE!" It's a good thing I was driving because he broke up laughing so hard he'd never have held on to the steering wheel.
