Experimental Little Invention Takes Existence

Ahh, i had a hunt on the coke websites (UK & US). I saw the part that your DS2 must have read, but also found this....
Coca-Cola Zero is sweetened with a blend of low-calorie sweeteners, while Diet Coke is sweetened with aspartame.

Cant understand the snobbery re coke in a bottle or coke in a can. I have not had either for 5 weeks but I can say water now tastes good straight from the tap. I did stock up on coke zero for me and caffeine free for dd.

The only reason I prefer a can is that it doesn't go as flat so quickly. If you drink enough to use a bottle each day or two than it's fine, but otherwise you end up drinking flat coke as each time you open that bottle you lose the fizz.

I've refrained from this one as I prefer Regular pepsi, low calorie, sugar free, zero just taste of sweetners to me....YUK !

Glad to see lots of people stocking up though if it's there thing.

Looks like Asda is going a similar way to Tesco in that things are N/A at their whim:
Tonight's shop

Sunday's shop:

What happened to the red cherry and the toffee hoops?

why are you getting 8 and not 5 mullers. I thought it was 5 that glitched.

I hate them too. How do they get in your ears btw?

That's why I pick them a little early and strip them wearing rubber gloves. The longer you leave them the more bugs you get and then it puts me off eating them.

That's why I stopped growing broccoli. Green maggots on my Sunday lunch. Never again:eek:

Do they get in your ears, or is it just another tale? Anyone had an earwig in their ear??

Broccoli......nightmare. Ive built a high tech (from old trampoline parts) cage around mine. Super fine netting and I still have caterpillars on it

I tried corn a couple of times, but never managed to get it to ripen

I've refrained from this one as I prefer Regular pepsi and still have a large stockpile of 5p cans from earlier in the year......... low calorie, sugar free, zero just taste of sweetners to me....YUK !

What I'm thinking of is the per centage outlay.
If you buy nine you have to pay full price for one so it must be better to get six as eight is not divisible by three.
I did six shops on rinse and repeat with six and worked out that although my pp is smaller the percentage back is bigger,,,,,is that right?

I don't see what it matters. Bigger PP. smaller PP. the end result either way is £2 for every 3 bought (less cashback)

Needs full sun and don't pick too early. Wait until the whiskery bits on the end have died off then it's ready

Really don't want to put you off FC but I am the most careful person possible for washing veg but the little blighters are invisible in Broccoli as they are the same colour green. You only notice after they are cooked and in the pan or on the plate.
Never ever again
