Half of this can contains 147 calories... yeah and?
Do people really have just half a tin of soup and leave the other half?
A can of soup fits into a large mug. Do people make a half a cuppasoup and only half fill a mug?
Why do they feel the need to only tell you the nutritional value of only half of the tin,
Surely it makes more sense to tell you what's in the full tin... then if some freakish small mugged souper only manages to fit 3/4 or 7/8 or 9/10 of the tin into their limited mug they have less maths to do. |

The one that annoys me is the TV ad for a certain French sounding yogurt/dessert thing that kids apparently love.. the ad always goes on about how 'one portion contains all the daily calcium your child needs' or some such waffle.. so far so good
But then the small print at the end of the ad says 'one portion is equivalent to two pots of ...'
How on earth is one portion equal to two yogurts? A pot of yogurt IS a portion, surely to god.. Ooh, it makes me so mad.. !!! Maybe I need to get a life  |

The answer is in the name petit - the advertised ones only hold 50g the full size ones are 100g. Little tummies just need a 50g pot at a time and perhaps another one at another time of day to get recommended calcium intake from yogurt alone. If you want your child to have calcium from another source then one pot is sufficient.
I must have no life either! |

I hadn't thought of that - does that meant the big pots are called 'grand filou'? I doubt it Maybe you could apply the same logic to your username and just 'cherche' one 'tres grand'?
Anyway, my kids are huge teenagers now and eat a sixpack of much bigger yogurts as soon as my back is turned, usually washed down with all the cheese and a packet of custard creams. If they got any more calcium they'd start to grow an exoskeleton - which my lad would probably love as he's a forward in the local rugby team

The brand name is petit filou meaning little rascals and its a fact their whole sales pitch is aimed at getting calcium into very young children not unfillable teenagers - its not my logic at all.
Just thought Id explain from your post why it says you need two pots to get rda and would add now that the very small pots were designed from babies of 4 months and the larger 100g are still 'little rascals' - its not an adult product and the nutritional info is based on the 100g quantity to help parents I guess. Its not even yogurt its fromage frais and high in calcium and vitamin d and easier to digest for wee ones.
I'm always in search of the large though...... |
