"For a limited time!" (until we decide to make it permanent) :-)
Thanks for the giggle!
okay sweets - i have a REAL appreciation for this post! Yes - the wonderful world of spin doctoring.....
hah. Great list. Packaging is my pet peeve. Everything you buy these days is over packaged. I shouldn't need to keep a machete in the kitchen so I can open a package.
Thanks for setting the record straight! And thank god I'm not the only one who has trouble opening some of these packages!
Now THAT was a funny Thursday 13!
ROFL--good list...amazing how advertisement can slant things like that, isn't it??
LOL! I like #8--No sugar added! [But you’ll wish there was.]
Ain't that the truth! ;-)
Wonderful list, Jennifer!
Boy, you hit all those nails right on their heads. :D
Two for one! (Because both products are worthless)
LOL Rene! I forgot that one!
I ALWAYS open the wrong end of things. DH has a fit, but I never look at the package until it's too late to obey the command to 'Open other end!'
Too funny! *rofl*
That was hysterical!
OMG!!!! These are great! And how about "Low Carbs--approved by the Atkins diet" means tastes like poop.
I love these. They kill me.
Lol. Isn't that the truth. There's always a catch.
These are awesome! My husband and I will make fun of ads like this sometimes. It's also fun to teach our children that what ads tell us aren't always what you think they mean.
I hope that makes sense, I have a headache and can barely think right now. :(
ROFL - great list!
Number 1: Sad but true. It's criminal!
Great layout! Love the 13 things for today.
Have a great one!

That 'all natural' one gets me. They aren't regulated enough.
"Low Carbs--approved by the Atkins diet" means tastes like poop.
ROTFL - ain't it the truth!
LOVE your translations! Great list!
Oh...whenever I need a grin I come by your blog, and this 13 made me laugh. You rock!
That is too funny and so true. Diet Coke is way worse than regular Coke but it's less calories.
Great list! Happy TT thanks for dropping by mine.
LOL. Funny =)
now this is a great list
new and improved?
of course how can it be new and improved all at once?
