Tesco's says Coconuts are not a nut!

Tesco have fairly definite ideas of the categories they put things in, and when they set up extra points offers like this they clearly just use their category codes rather than any common sense.

We spent £30 on baby things for 750 extra points. We counted the value of the items very carefully 'cos it's hard work to spend £30. We did NOT get the points at the till because baby toothpaste didn't count as baby toiletries, according to the till. D'oh!

Fortunately the supervisor had a brain, and didn't even bother getting his calculator out before crediting the voucher.

It's the same as peanuts the have been reclassified as dried pea and not a nut daft isn't it!

So i'm sure there is a false advertising claim there for anyone who wishes to take it up, that on the back of tescos peanuts it says "this product may contain nuts" but it doesn't it contains dried peas!

Peanuts realy are a dried pea, chick peas are a nut as I said before, I don't care if I like it it goes in my gob, if I don't I don't buy it.

They wouldn't let me use a "50 points when you buy any vegetables" voucher even though I'd bought a lettuce and cucumber. The uppity till supervisor came over and snapped "they're not vegetables, they're salad ingredients". No matter how much I tried to convince her that lettuce and cucumber were vegetables, she was having none of it.

So there you go. Lettuce and cucumber aren't vegetables, because Tesco say so, and they're much cleverer than us.

This reminds me of a friend who I had a disagreement with lol, she was insistent that there were 3 categories, fruit, vegetables & salad stuff lol, she wasn't having any of my point that salad stuff really does fall into fruit or vegetable categories. Cucumbers are a fruit as someone else pointed out because they have seeds in them.

This is interesting. I am quite allergic to a lot of 'nuts' including peanuts, and would be very annoyed if they changed the warnings so that peanuts weren't included! Having said that, they put that on ebverything now, so the warning is pretty meaningless anyway!

Tesco can do as they like far as Im concerned.
My clubcard is doing quite well.

I cant fault them. Tesco want to call an apple a washing machine, so what!

In any event Tesco are bigger than the Oxford, Cambridge dictionary anyway! Who are we mere croutons !
