The increase of useless news.

Brainless Sanitarium commercials screeching about 20 per cent less sugar in some product. Less than what? A bag of sugar? They must really despise their customers.

I long ago promised myself that if I ever see any product with old! unimproved! on the label, I will buy it regardless of what it is.

Maybe ‘old! unimproved!’ is the same as ‘original’? For example:

Molenberg Original Toast Bread

Vogel's Original Mixed Grain Toast Bread

Bluebird Originals Ready Salted Potato Chips

Mainland Salted Original Butter

Philadelphia Original Cream Cheese

There are dozens/hundreds of products claiming this.

Something I've often wondered: What makes them "ready" salted as opposed to just salted? It seems that different brands use the same terminology but I don't actually know what it means in this context.

If it means "pre-salted" or "ready-to-go salted" then wouldn't all the other flavours also be "ready"?

I thought Google's ad targeting algorithm was supposed to be really smart, but Youtube seems to keep thrusting Sanitarium ads at me despite the fact that I would never, ever buy one of their products. They are crooks as far as I'm concerned.

Is that because of their tax status, as a religious organisation? 

Call-centre audio volume discrepancies between hold-music and actual dialogue.

Fixed that for you.

Geektastic: That I can help with.

Crisps used to come with the salt in a separate twist of paper. The customer added the salt. Ready salted was the evolution of that in which the separate salt was removed.

Interesting! I don't believe I've ever seen that.

As a vegetarian I consume Sanitarium products. I don't like supporting their silly church but it is what it is.
