That's perhaps because the two go hand -in -hand?

You can do the one while you're trying to do the other!

Also concentration.
I remember saying to colleagues at work "Can you please be quieter as I'm trying to constipate".

You could always contemplate why you became constipated in the first place.


Probably the codeine!

Or you could always go to the loo to concentrate.
Whilst you're doing your paperwork (4" squares).

As long as that doesn't give you consternation.

Or result in condemnation.

Years ago a cola company couldn't put its prices up and used to get its vending machines to sell an empty novelty bottle every tenth time you put money in.

Anyhoo these soft cans remind me of the third verse in this inspirational song.

You are a genius! That's exactly what I would love to do. The truth of the matter is I've started to buy lots of stuff from Aldi and Coke is a bit of a sin. I know coke is bad and I've watched a youtube video about what it does to you. I'm normally soda free but just the past few months I've started to drink it. It's slightly addictive or at least the sugar is. Besides it's easier than making tea or coffee. Instant gratification or sugar rush!

On a cost per can basis Aldi is substantially cheaper! I'll work it out and post when I find out what the cost is per can

Of course it could be that the ones you dropped were just from a faulty batch and not representative of all cans.

Congratulations on starting a thread on MSE complaining about a supermarket product to get this far with being accused of an ulterior motive.

Damaged cans can be sharp, did you cut your fingers doing the clean up? How big was the value of the ruined shopping, not forgetting the trauma you had to bear in having make a return trip to replace damaged shopping. I am sure the compo could run into thousands if you played it right

The fundamental problem I personally had was that I made the mistake of "bag overload" and part of the reason for "bag overload" was because I had 8 x cans wrapped up in packs so I couldn't separate them and one pack of 8 x cans is not enough to warrant it's own 10p bag is it? So they become overloaded with two separate packs of 8 x cans which is 16 x cans in one bag which doesn't take up too much room so you add a few other items as well

Oh I see then you have a bit of an issue its not the supermarket you need to sue its the Government for implementing the carrier bag tax. I don't think you will have much luck as the Government don't have much money.

I guess we could say the joke's on you, or rather the coke's on you. :rotfl:
