I is also pooped, having been up since 4:30am. I also have a new housemate who has brought a cat with her… I don’t know if this was a wise move. I’m hoping they settle, but if one cat goes it’s not going to be KK!
Well, I’m so tired I can’t even be bothered getting around to procrastinating. So here’s something I rattled off months ago:
I was just filling up my sugar bowl at home when I spotted the “nutritional information” panel on the side of the sugar bag. OK, so there’s no ingredients list (I assume it’d consist of “Ingredients: Sugar”) but it still breaks it down, thus:
Per 100g – 99.9g carbohydrates, 0g fat, 0g protein
Alrighty then. So what’s the other 0.1g? Fertilizer? Agent Orange? Careless sugar-cane worker?
We should be told!
That will be the stuff they put in it to keep it free flowing.
Yeah. It’ll be what they call an anti-caking agent. Probably something harmless like chalk, talc or baking powder. Unlikely to be sand, although pure silicon dioxide has been used in table salt for that purpose in the past.
Re: yesterday’s lack of storage space – isn’t that why you had a loft ladder installed? Or is your loft full up already? 🙂
So why not *tell* us what the stuff is? Or perhaps they’re simply including the air that’s squeezed between the granules?
dcsun4 – the loft was already full. Part of the reason for the loft ladder was to enable me to get up there to sort all the crap out and bin it. The need to do this has now been accelerated!
there’s anti-caking agent in sugar???
so that’s why my victoria sponges never turn out properly…
(hehhehheh)
ps. is as good as me looking at a tin of tuna in Sainsbury’s the other day and honest to god, it had a note on the side of the tin saying “Warning – this product contains fish”
jeesh!
JJ – it is not a joke when you look on *many* shops packs of salted peanuts and they say “contains nuts”. I know M&S ones do, and I think Morrisons as well.
What next “Contains fizzy black water” on Coke? “Contains carrots” on bags of carrots? ****’s sake.
or “contains arse, lips & unidentifiable wibbly bits” on pork pies & sausages…
The wibbly bits are the best part!
yeah baby!
*wibbles his bits*
WIsh you’d keep that for private parties hunk 😉 lol
