Is it? I've looked at that list and am not one bit shocked. Those items are pretty much what I'd expect

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Another example of the government etching ever so closer to a totalitarian state. It's a fvckin joke.

I've got visions now of a bunch of cabinet ministers furiously drawing sketches of Stalin and various other dictators.

[Athers]

Knew those Starbucks/any posh coffees aren't very good for you. See people getting a few a day trying to impress others by walking around with them. Not impressing your heart sunshine.

[thebish]

like the way it says - amount of sugar both natural and added...

you could add an apple, a banana, an orange and some grapes to the list and they'd all rank quite high up...

[Lost Leopard Spot]

I note with interest that Tate & Lyle 1 kg bag of sugar isn't in that list.

hoboh would be properly shocked by that - it'd be just too much!

[Bijou Bob]

Today I'm now happy I don't eat or drink any if the sh1te above.

Sorry, wrong thread......

My sentiments exactly.

... a bit like the bags of nuts with the words "may contain nuts" on the pack.

[thebish]

we must all learn not to expect to be very shocked in a thread where Hoboh declares that something is shocking!

Just run this concept by me again, as I may have misunderstood...

But, and I think this is what you're saying, some people try to impress others by walking around with a branded cup of coffee?

2 quick questions here:

1) What kind of w*nker would do that?
2) If theres a shred of truth in this, I think our dear, demented friend hoboh may be just a tad less demented and perhaps closer to the truth than I'd like.

Please tell me I've misinterpreted.

[William the White]

Shocking!

It's the Daily Mail. There's no sugar in any of them...

Of course! Usually in the City, mid-to-senior management types who prefer to go to Starbucks rather than use the perfectly good in-office coffee shop or just the kettle. Wandering around with it subtly waving it about or making a note of placing it on the table. I'm not imagining this, promise!

There's a good chance they've ordered something embarrassingly complicated involving caramel or vanilla as well.

[Prufrock]

The length of time it takes you to say your order is directly proportional to how much of a bell you are.

Really?
It's the first time I've seen it explained in simple laymans terms, i.e. teaspoons of sugar.
A can of coke equals the sugar most would take in 9 brews!! Christ no wonder there's so many fat kids out there.
I gave up sugar in coffee years ago figuring 2 spoonfulls in about 15 cups a day was bad and I never add salt to any food, actually feel a lot better for it

[Harry Genshaw]

Shocking!

Worse than that Will. It's all Romanian sugar. Your food will be swamped. Swamped I tell ya!

There must be a gif of a giant penny dropping somewhere.

Which is why I now only drink coke's at weekends, rather put kettle on this time of year anyway.
