    Very good - I do like a laugh in the afternoon.

    Try it with links sausages - it says sausages on the pack yet they are all joined together to in effect just one sausage.

    I demand compensation.

    Does it matter that there is no indentation on the bottom, how are asda misleading people, the pack clearly labels it as 15 mini cheese and onion rolls, im not wasting my time with asda

    yes, I think that they are 5 full size rolls not 15 mini rolls. However, the same could be argued about bread rolls, that aren't seperated yet.
    If my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!

    If it was 5 rolls, they wouldn't be mini rolls.

    I'm sure you can buy the same rolls in a pack of 5, but they aren't 'mini' rolls, just rolls.

    There are 15 mini rolls in the pack, it's just that you have to break them off.


    EDIT : I didn't vote on your poll, because my answer would be, Yes they are 5 rolls, but the pack doesn't say 5 rolls, it says 15 mini rolls and that's how you bought them.

    I had to laugh at the chocolate part in your vid though lol!

  • If you cut them smaller, is it not thirty mini mini rolls

    Yeah, what Freddy said!

    Cut them up again and you'll have 60 - bargain! There may well be a point to make about misleading packaging but I don't think this was the world's best example - I do agree you appear to have 5 rolls rather than 15 minis but I simply can't muster up any anger about the issue, sorry.

    I would accuse you of having too much time on your hands but then I've just watched the video and written out a comment, so who am I to talk?
  • I think Trading Standards have a few more better things to do than indulge people's Errant thoughts of the law and contract. Haven't even watched the vid but I can guess what it is about - a complete lack of common sense.

    What do I think? I actually think they're very versatile, you can eat them as either 5 big rolls or 15 mini rolls, how clever Asda are.
