I'll write the words...

So, I was opening my brie and bacon Tesco's Finest sarnie. Which was a bit of a problem, as it wasn't really what I wanted. I'm convinced it was tiger prawn and avocado when I picked it up. Bloody witchcraft again.

But I digress. There, on the sandwich packet, was a picture of a large lump of brie, and some tasty-looking bacon. And lo, it said in small black letters "Serving Suggestion".

Now. Are they really suggesting that the best way to serve this sandwich is with a few rashers and a chuffing large lump of brie ? I doubt it.

I propose the immediate discontinuation of the phrase "Serving Suggestion", and the prompt introduction of the snappy "Largely Irrelevant Picture We've Included To Make Our Product Look More Appealing".

I recently read "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser. I'm not going into a McDonalds ever again... And its going to be 'Don't think about camels' stylee if I ever do go into a Burger King...

But for true corporate lunacy, in my local Tescos there's a big 'Recall' sign up near the tills.

"Warning - Tescos Fruit Muesli - May Contain Nuts!"

I found a nut in my muesli ! Can I sue ?
