Pure orange juice. In fact almost any product whose description is preceded with the word pure.

Also some use 100% pure. But rarely does one see 100% followed by the product. For example: 100% orange juice. ...Or am I just being pedantic? :o

"100% natural".

Because apparently some chemicals are natural, and others are man-made. And the natural ones are good, and the man made ones are bad.... :rofl:

British sausages are a deception also. Too much fat, water and rusk. Give me some boeries any day! :thumbup:

Drool....

it doesn't matter if you are in UK or Aus, you need to choose a good butcher to get a good sausage!
Thankfully, we have some good butchers here in Cairns!:thumbsup:

I think all of our local butchers have emigrated. There's only Tescos here now :ohmy:

Cos I'm worth it!


"Daft name invention" departments have already given us the likes of Casting Crème Gloss, Récital Préférence (both just some hair dye really), Color Riche (lipstick) and more recently Color Riche Shine Gelée (more lipstick, but sounds a bit posher).

And the name nobody's been waiting for? Pro-Fixè D'amagè Excélleéncé Derma Couleur Nailèé Crèmmèeè, which is really just a crap, boring nail cream, but with all those French accents and extra random letters, and a little gentle persuasion from a Rich, or rather Riche, celeb, they know that their latest addition will be flying off the shelves in know time!

Remember - you're worth it!

The guy I go to tells me his grandmother was Scottish & she taught him all she knows about sausage making!
