That flour one. Very true

Sainsbury's used to do this thing where it gave you some annual summary of your shopping via your nectar card. Turns out one year I was the second biggest purchaser of large bags of Sainsbury's own wine gums in all of Kingston. Tried to win it the next year - but they stopped doing the summary - so I'll never know.

Not all consumed by me! They are the encouragement of choice for all members of my family on bike rides / walks. Family consumption probably peaked during covid when the only thing to do of a weekend was head out for a walk or ride. The big bags were a bargain. Think they've stopped doing them now though. CSB.

We were Stainesbury's highest purchaser of a particular loaf of bakery bread. I'd like to say that's because I look like the Stay Puft marshmallow man made of white bread, but we get through less than one loaf per week.

Yeah - I enjoyed that. I was 9th biggest muesli buyer in streatham in '21.

Paper is lightweight and recyclable. Best packaging possible.

Now try and open one without making a mess

Yeah, because flour is so hard to clean up. Almost Hazmat levels of contamination if it goes onto a work surface.

Indeed.
Doesn't stop Homepride trying to reinvent the wheel and produce some new packaging that has cardboard, plastic (and at one point a foil lining inside): https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/homepride-self-raising-flour/006265-2776-2777

Before I open the flour, I put it in a zip lock bag.
Once the paper bag has fallen apart enough, I fish it out and carry on using the zip lock.
This works quite well.
I guess a lot of people just do sporadic heavy baking sessions, so use whole bags at a time.

Who would take the time to write their only watirose review on 'Homepride flour'. Who then upvotes any of those reviews? It's doesn't seem an obvious target for bot net or fake reviews so perhaps there's a chance they're real people..

Well praise the Lord that they don’t put it in the same stuff as rice and pasta.

I remember being astonished when I learned that the failed London bombers of July 21st 2005 used chapati flour as a key ingredient in their bombs. Who knew that flour could be so dangerous? I certainly didn't.

I bought the most jerk mackerel from Beckton last year.

Obviously, this is very NSFW and really fucking stupid.
