Just in case you were wondering if there was anything to my complaints of the "British system" earlier, your own compiled list here will demonstrate more proof to my previous theories:
Tesco, Sainsbury's (like Publix in England)
Marks & Spencer (get this, you go shopping for a new outfit and you can pick up groceries at the "same exact" place!)
Boot's (like an Eckerds and the opening part of an upscale Dillard's department store all in one ... btw it's Boot's the Chemist ... translations - pharmacy)
: On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert: Do not turn upside down.
: (printed on bottom of the box) (Too late! You lose!)
: On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: Product will be hot after heating.
: (Are you sure??? Let's experiment.)
: On Boot's Children's cough medicine: Do not drive car or operate machinery.
: (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we just
: kept those 5 year olds off those fork lifts.)
: On Sainsbury's peanuts: Warning: contains nuts.
: (Not to mention the nut who wrote the warning)
Onto the Japanese mind... i will research this one out when i get to japan, believe me you
: On a Japanese food processor: Not to be used for the other use.
: (Now I'm curious.)
What you don't realize is that - amercian airlines had a lot of problems with anxious flyers stuffing the whole package into their mouths ... hoping to get more outta the package than just a couple nuts ... or perhaps to amuze themselves while they waited for the in-air movie to begin ... or even perhaps to substitute for wax lips or chewing gun, maybe
: On an American Airlines packet of nuts: Instructions: open packet, eat nuts.
