    Have you seen the nutritional information on the Pot Noodles? One pot gives 40% of your Saturated Fats, 23% Fat, 30% of your salt :eek:.

    Tastes nice enough though ... :o.

    somehow it's acceptable for them to quote, on the right-hand side, whilst censoring far more milder. And then I never somehow understand these inconsistent standards that the neurotypical society has!:huh:

    Savvy, it's because the twitter feed is just an automated thing, and the profanity filter used on posts is different software.

    I don't think anyone at mse towers considered that twitter may contain unfiltered tweets. :o

    Actually, I am waiting for Lord Sugar to say that! What a shame he never does:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::D:naughty:. Alright - I am really sorry folks - sometimes I speak too much the truth:o:o. But it is - true! (It is, in 2015.) Some of us actually take a different view on things on some occasions. Come on - it's the twenty-first century - we all ought to be over such stupid creations as "swear" words now (assuming that that is one), that are all historically created, handed down from generations before. (I guess I'm never always fully understood, on my esoterics.)

    Anyway I really had better go - far too much fun tonight:naughty: Savvy:naughty:!:laugh:

    Goodnight.
    :wave:

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    So, it is a glitch:laugh:.

    Oh well, ***t happens:rotfl:.

    (That one occasion, you see, sometimes once is okay;).) Fully in context and relevant to the issue:D:cool:;). As well as true:D (and, therefore, presumably, wrong:(:huh::rotfl:).

    Thanks for all the fun/feigned annoyance (I just need a "t" and a "y" and then it will be fully acceptable;)).:):eek:

    Goodbye again:rotfl::rotfl::D:wave:

    I know... and hugely popular!

    Cue another mention of SP at (increased price compared to several years ago) 35p. Or even M's own label at 49p (or 'Savers' 35p). Maybe not as good as gliched prices on Pot Noodle (multipacks) before though, which seems unavailable on individual pots now (A £1 vs M 50p) - only glitch we might see, sadly, is an N/A for M or a higher price:(.

    I think those McDougall's family pies are beggars for being full of sat. fat. I think half of a pie (from memory) - not that you should have half - gives you half your daily allowance? Opportunity taken to mention those - that their price in M has gone well up (over a few weeks) - now £3.53 each:eek: - that's significant more than the total cost you could have paid for two a few weeks back. Were on 2 for £3. I don't know how something goes from that - albeit via a price in between - to such a high price now - and in these supposed zero inflation, or deflation, times.

    Thanks for the opportunity for that. There may be more mentions of various product things later.:):wave::money::rotfl::j:j:wave:

    Not sure if you noticed it, but the glitch on individual Pot Noodles tonight (posted by Henlans on HUKD and brought over by Bubbs earlier - about a page or so back) works out at 11.5p each after APG.

    Look what I just found

    Not a womble but a dove shop from weeks ago #gutted.com

    IMG_1127_zpsugeiyorl.jpg

    Ah not to worry:(. My Sains BM of about that amount - from several years ago - never turned up:(:(.

    It's happened to the best of us. I just write them off - a bit like I "lost" £18 on that Andrex shop a year or two ago! The glitch vs Morries ended way too soon - of course it was not a loss really, as it was a correct comparison. But, compared to what I expected...

    I thought about that, very momentarily yesterday, in the context of "if the APG had taken as long as it took this week to update from the Monday" then I would still have had the glitch - as would other people - on the Thursday afternoon shops (it was the Wednesday price comparison overwriting the Monday data that took it all from us).

    Oh - goodnight!:j:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::D:wave:

    Right, I really I am off! Might go and post something on the Twitter feeds!:rotfl::rotfl::naughty: No - I would not:). I hope and trust that my humour is understood and appreciated. If it is not, then... well, get lost:p as you don't understand it:rotfl::rotfl:;):D.

    (Saved 11.5p each:money::rotfl: - we don't need to consume any of them:laugh:.)

    :A:T

    And I'm merely now going - another attempt(:laugh:):wave:

    Re. the Pot Noodles.

    "A lot of work" someone replies on hotdeals:wall:. They just don't get it do they?:eek::(

    But look at this:
    2x Pot Noodle Chilli Beef (90G) £2.00 N/A:(:( (My added frowns.)

    [Strike]That's the glitch vs Morries that I do not like![/Strike]
    They did not therefore cost 11.5p each unfortunately.:(

    EDIT:

    [...]
    Pot Noodle Beef & Tomato Flavour (90g)
    £1.00 50p
    Obviously way too dear:rotfl:.
    Pot Noodle Bombay Bad Boy (90g)£1.00 50p

    Pot Noodle Brazilian BBQ Steak (90g)£1.00 50p
    Pot Noodle Chicken & Mushroom Flavour (90g)
    £1.00 50p
    Pot Noodle Chinese Chow Mein (90g)£1.00 50p
    EDIT: Pot Noodle Original Curry (90g)£1.00 50p

    Pot Noodle Sausage Casserole (90g)£1.00 50p
    Pot Noodle Sticky Rib (90g)
    £1.00 50p
    Pot Noodle Sweet & Sour (90g)
    £1.00 50p
    [...]

    Any fool could have told you that Morries do not have Chilli Beef flavour! It was therefore not a glitch to return N/A. Instead, it was a bad purchasing decision (sorry, henlans) on those ones.

    I meant "too dear" at 45p price (10% off M's 50p). Of course, it isn't bad with the comparable Pot Noodles' glitch.

    :eek:I have one missed there:rotfl:. Better go and stick that on before anyone notices;):rotfl::cool:.

    (These will of course be to no avail me adding another one to the list - they'll all be removed within 24 hours as, once the mbuy glitch is over, they'll never be as good value again - so Wednesday's price collection data is a no-go. Just because the glitch will have gone, I suspect.)
