Useless Information thread

jean2579 — Wed, 17 Jul 2013 04:31:43 GMT

Just for a bit of fun and some light hearted relief from the more sombre threads on here,I thought that it might be fun to post any oddball or off the wall bits of information that are totally useless.

This morning while in the bathroom and doing the "necessary paperwork" I looked inside the cardboard core of the paper roll and found that the use by date was stamped inside.

Now:

1. Why does loo paper need a use by date

2. Who in their right mind in the supermarket will juggle a large packet of paper rolls to ensure that they all have the same and current date inside them.

last week or so they sold dishwashing liquid on "quick sale" a bit cheaper than usually.

i know that sign on fresh prawns and fish saying "quick sale still fresh" in coles.

now, why on earth would dishwashing liquid need to be sold quickly?

it is a main brand they always stock it.

i almost bought one just to ask the checkout chick if it is "still fresh".

...or they sell frankfurter/viennas.

it can be only one of them. they are different saussages. it's like selling cheese labelling it cheddar/gouda.

I bought some Rosay wine once when my friend was coming to stay, I read the back of the bottle and it said may contain traces fish.

How the heck can wine have fish in it, I goggled but could not find any thing.

Just thought you would all like to know 🙂
