Totally unimportant things that drive you insane.

Better than Sex Cake would be better than sex if only one ingredient was not to my liking.

Ready meals that state "pull back film" it does not pull back it needs stabbing with a knife then messily pulling off a bit at a time.

Food caddy bags that are impossible to open, Aldi ones a great but many others are not.

Broken biscuits in a new packet.

Most annoying thing for me is when Orlin drains the vegetable water in to the sink without first removing washing-up bowl. So bottom of said bowl is always mucky.

Those big bags of crisps and sweets with "sharing size" on them. ? Nope, I want them ALL to myself.

I had to share

Galaxy, only half a packet? You lightweight.

I ate half a packet of jaffa cakes yesterday, not sure how essential that was!

Absolutely agree Blossoming. Life without just cake wouldn't be a life.

I once saw a claim on another website about a cake called "Better Than Sex Cake". I eagerly looked up the cake and its ingredients only to find one of its main ingredients was something I don't like. You can imagine my disappointment!

Maybe I should start an argument on the arguments thread about what the ingredients should have been.

That was the crux of the argument georgesgran It wasn’t pointless to McVities though as biscuits are classed as a luxury item and attract VAT. Cakes are classed as staple foods and are VAT free. They’d been around since the 1920s and HMRC tried to make them VATable in the 1990s. I love that cakes are classed as essentials

My stupid gripe is when the customer before me doesn’t put the divider on the conveyor belt behind their shopping!

I think the ‘accepted’ reason is that cakes go hard when stale and biscuits go soft. Another bit of pointless information. ?

It isn’t. Jaffa Cakes are classed as cakes. There was a long court battle between McVities and HMRC.
