I think "level of chewy bits" is an important factor to consider here.

I think it's mostly done on basic literacy and religious beliefs.

"So, er... Geoff, what do you think, as a prawn, that you can bring to our customers?"

Oh, poor naive Science-Boff.

Sausages very much == their packaging.

Correct, but that's mostly an aesthetic difference.

 

There is a difference in the ingredients, the ratio and quality of meat to other bits, etc. Please don't start the "what should actually go into sausages" thing again :C

Ears, hooves, fur and bones :Y

(yeah I know but in a lot of cases it is the same stuff repackaged and the packaging - what it signifies to us and tells us about ourselves - is a big part of what/why we buy things)

As someone already hinted, it's not always exactly the same - they'll rate appearance and give deformed objects to the value/basics line, or use slight variations in ingredients (salt/etc) to cause differences in flavour/calories/etc.

It'll probably also vary between supermarkets as to which products are snob-traps.

Where do you shop?

I already conceded that, slow-coach!

He just needs more CPU allocating is all.

Then what the hell are you still rabbitting on about?


All Spars around here are just oversized newsagents, and generally have a lousy selection of rubbishy foods. (Can't get decent cheese in them, for example.)

I will send him my spare Cyrix chips!

I thought he meant spar like a sparing match. /how/ disappointing to find out it's a grocery store!
From: Drew (X3N0PH0N) 2 Sep 2011 13:27
To: Peter (BOUGHTONP) 590 of 661
Yes indeed. But it has the large advantage of being the only shop within about 6 miles.

We can't give him that much power, god knows what he'd do then. You see what he's capable of now? And he's currently running on an 8086.

You should just get Tesco or ASDA to deliver.

I kinda do. But that doesn't count as shopping :Y
From: Ken (SHIELDSIT) 2 Sep 2011 13:46
To: Drew (X3N0PH0N) 594 of 661
You're right, with that kind of power he'd take over the world!

I'm pretty sure Trigger3D only happened because of that time we ran Peter on a 286 to see what happened.
