Seriously Tesco and heir complete disregard for their customer base and their "we'll always get someone to buy ourcruddy food" mentality really hack me off!!

A bit off-topic, but some general musings...

The dieting industry (worth many, many billions of pounds) has a 95% recidivism rate. That means that 95 times out of 100, that expensive exercise DVD, dieting book, Weight Watchers subscription, low-fat-low-calorie diet-food, gym membership will be a waste of money. Makes you think doesn't it. No other industry would be so buoyant with such a failure rate.

If you want to lose weight, eat less, walk more. Neither will hurt your pocket.

disillusioned now - I really really thought that if an item was packaged as weighing 752 grams - it would weigh that much!
jeez - now i got to get the scales out and weigh everything to make sure I am not being ripped off!
why dont they just put 752 grams approximately!

They use to be approximately 903 beans in a tin but they now reduced that to 789

I buy the corale baked beans from aldi have done for ages, Ive never counted the little !!!!!!s but there seem to be just as many now in the tin as when i first started buying them (and they taste better than tescos own).

They do, as I said before that is what the e means. Normal distribution is the equivalent as an average.

tandraig

and just how is the average person supposed to know the e means approximate!!!

Storck

same way as you know the g stands for grams. It is standard lettering and mathematical symbol.
