Meenzer 15174 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 For all this is obviously hilarious in the context of CT's weight loss humiliation on here , there ought to be laws against misleading labelling </dailymail>. In fact I'm sure there are at a European level - haven't idiot Sunderland greengrocers had heart attacks for less? - so quite why this mob can get away with it while trumpeting a glorious new era of "low salt" is beyond me. Got to give them credit for the sheer ballsiness of it all though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42797 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Come on CT, scan the packet and let us be the judge. I reckon you've allowed yourself to be willingly misled here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 20486 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 To be fair the main thing that bothers me about crisps is the salt content so I'll be trying these anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15174 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 This is going to sound massively patronising, but I'll say it anyway: this is just another lesson to be learned. Apply the "plum tomato rule" (as I'm fashionably calling it ) from the last page - if something ostensibly bad for you claims to have as few calories in it as salad, chances are there's something dodgy afoot that needs to be investigated before gorging ensues.

If it's too good to be true it probably is. Applies to everything in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4461 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Come on CT, scan the packet and let us be the judge. I reckon you've allowed yourself to be willingly misled here. Ok here it is. The nutritional box under that big headline "Goodbye salt, hello flavour" simply says at the top of it "Jacket Potato with Tomato Ketchup flavour" and then lists the values I posted earlier. There is no mention that this is just for the sauce. That other nutritional box in the lower right hand corner has the real info in. But why list them seperately ? Why not state ones for the sauce? Why put the low one in a position that of course will be read first? Do they really expect any crisp muncher to continue reading after that good news? Meezners rule of plum is of course one I will take with me from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Quality thread this now. I love the way Gemmil has now appointed himself CT's personal trainer/advisor and constantly bullys him, no pain no gain fat man CT is fast approaching J69 levels of cuntishness btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15174 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) That's actually properly shocking labelling. Should be banned straight away as far as I'm concerned. And yes I know the alarm bells should start ringing as soon there's as any claim of "17 calories per packet" in conjunction with a snack food product, but still. You can see how people who've never known any better would easily get drawn in. Edited March 4, 2011 by Meenzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 42797 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 It is pretty twatful labeling tbf. I like that you probably read them both, disregarded the high one, and waited til you'd necked the multipack to bring it up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonraider 0 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 If you like crisps/savoury snacks make your own. Use parsnip or potato shavings and spray lightly with oil then bake in the oven. Then you can add your own salt/pepper to taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10461 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Made this for the house. Nice, although I think I prefer tuna with stir fry, feels like a waste of beef steak, somehow Teriyaki is where it's at, oh fo sho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
