dented or otherwise damaged cans, what do you do?
This article in yesterday's paper caught my eye. Looks like mould to me. But. Forget the sensational headline for a minute and focus on the can. Notice how it's a little blackened around the bottom rim? I'm not sure it shows, but it looks like the can has been standing in wet conditions, the wrapper looks a little wrinkled too at top and bottom. Was it like this when it was bought? If yes, why buy it? If no, then how was it stored in the home environment? Use by date. Usually irrelevant, unless the can has been opened. We all know that once a can is opened the contents need to be used immediately, especially baby foods. She mentions somewhere in the story that the contents appeared "a bit runny". This happens when food is given to the baby directly from the can, (or jar) with saliva from the baby's mouth being transferred to the contents, which then begins to break down the molecular structure of the canned food. This isn't immedia...

Nooooooooo! Though at least one of my friends will hit the sales today with just that thought in mind. I think she is insane. Organised but insane.
ReplyDeleteGreat cartoon!!
ReplyDeleteAnd big vats of chocolate are being stirred in preparation for Easter.
ReplyDeleteThe trouble is those days will all have gone by before we know it... :)
ReplyDeleteAnd all the maniacs are out today fighting over the Boxing Day sales...I just do not understand those people...not one bit!
ReplyDeleteYou're evil.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; now is the best time to snap up bargains in the decorations department, many things that required a second mortgage before Christmas can now be had for a dollar or two.
ReplyDeletefishducky; I had to put this up, I just HAD to.
Andrew; not to mention the hot cross buns which will probably be on sale January 1st.
Lee; time does fly faster once you get a little grey in your hair. I don't enjoy boxing day sales either, the only thing that would get me into that circus is if I needed new decorations. Many are as much as 75% off now.
Delores; who, Me? :D
