Betrayed and Bewildered

[Hunter]

Ok..... thought this was interesting for an open forum post.   

For the past 20 or 30 years, my traditional go-to cocktail has always been vodka, club soda and a healthy oz of pure 100% lemon juice.  For the first time, and since getting a new lens for cataract in my left eye....I noticed the fine print that lives right beneath the nice big red banner that says.....100% Real Lemon Juice". 

Apparently in America....it's OK to boldly lie about a product as long as you have some fine print telling everyone that you're lying!

[GregE]

Hmmmmm,  and I was getting my Go bag to come down and accost someone.....

I can't help you, Sundance

[JamesBee19791]

Well, I cant help you on not reading the fine print. You're cocktail sounds pretty refreshing though, I'll hafta try it. My go to is vodka, sugar free 7-up, OJ, not from concentrate.

The lemon juice and soda is not needed. 🍋

  Here's my "daily":  Squeeze juice from 1/8 cut of lime into glass. Add 2 oz. Grey Goose vodka, 1 1/2 oz. Schweppes tonic water (yellow label) and 3 oz. of Ocean Spray (original) cranberry juice.  Fill with ice and place lime cut on top.
  If you're "brave", you can pull the old "bar keep" trick and dribble another small amount of Goose on top. Don't know if this name is taken, but I've titled it a "Bloody Goose".

Ya'all are just a little too complicated....

Put the Coors Light in the fridge.  When the mountains on the can turn blue, pop the top and enjoy.

[DARice]

Open Makers Mark. Pour into glass. Add 1 ice cube.

No wonder I don't like paying for a 'mixologist.'

   When I drank beer (which was not too often), Rolling Rock was my favorite. I used to bring only two when going out on the boat. Oftentimes, I'd wind-up bringing one home.   I still have one bottle left in the fridge.  Think it's been there for a few years now. Whaddaya think, should I shitcan it?  Believe it or not, my pants waist size is 32...I work hard to keep it that way.

32 inches......Really?   Dang dude, you must have to run around in the shower just to get wet..   As long as it effervesces when you open it.....  drink that beer.

ON another side note, and after thinking about this false advertising on my lemon juice.....  I've now decided that my 2015 Chevy Silverado 3/4 Ton Duramax Crew Cab is 100% all Natural......since it's entirely made from a combination of ingredients found on Planet Earth!   

[Yachter Yat]

32 inches......Really? 

   Yup! I weigh 160 lbs. Not too much fat around here.  I keep moving. Always been quite physical all my life. Keeping up with this property keeps me pretty busy; if you know what I mean.
   Yeah....I've been staring at that leftover Rolling Rock for years now.  I'm actually having second thoughts about consuming it. Ha

Dude..... definitely stay away from states that have tornadoes or you could end up in the Land of Oz......just like ToTo!!

   Any small Arimas there?

Yeah, there are plenty of small Arimas there.  The problem is that if you click your heels together 3 times and say "there's no place like home", they all turn into Bayliners.   

[Whiskeytango101]

160?!?.... It's been a few years since that life was lived... for you SoCal fellas... cheers!... mind the viscosity boys...

[Tunacious]

They betrayed me also.

A few days ago I bought 1,000 lbs of salmon.  Im currently in the middle of filleting the salmon and then grinding the salmon to make Salmon Burgers.

I sell the 1/4 pound burgers with 12 burgers in a box for $65.  They are very healthy and taste really good.

I chose to use the same lemon juice because I thought it was 100 percent lemon juice.

On my lables that I'm required to place on my burgers I listed place "lemon juice".

I should have transferred all of their ingredients onto my lables.

Now I'm part of the problem.

You guys aren't understanding the true meaning of marketing. The juice in that bottle IS 100% lemon juice, it just has other stuff mixed with it. Per US law, they're allowed to leave out the word "contains" since, by their logic, it's implied, and as Americans we're all savvy enough to know that. Thank your federal commerce department early and often for the wide variety of truths in advertising. In many other countries it would not fly.

Like Yat, I also have size 32 pants in my closet. That doesn't mean they fit me any more, but I aspire to fit into them again some day ;)

Marketing is stating the way the world should be. Not necessarily the way that it is.

  Oh man.....I should have never mentioned my pant size.   Now I feel bad for you, Todd.  I wear mine every day. Hey......just a thought, but do you think substituting my "Bloody Goose" cocktails (in place of whatever you're consuming) might help??
