Funny labels

I occasionally feature amusing signs on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, but this week I'm going to deviate from amusing signs slightly and feature instead amusing labels, starting with a label which is technically correct, but probably unnecessary...

1) For worst results


Whoever wrote the label on this item of clothing obviously has a sense of humour...

Unnecessary advice.

'For Best Results: Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low. Never iron design.

For Worst results: Drag through puddle behind car. Blow dry on roof rack."


I mean, they're not wrong!

Creative labelling

Previously on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog I've taken a look at silly slogans, and supermarket signs, labels and vouchers. This week's blog post has a very loosely related theme, as I focus on some creatively labelled food products with unexpected ingredients and surprising percentages.

'Strawberry and beetroot.'
The clue is in the name ... or is it?

1) Strawberry And Beetroot


First up is a 'strawberry and beetroot smooshy snack' which I have to say was delicious, but what would you guess was the main ingredient in this strawberry and beetroot smoothie? Strawberries perhaps? Maybe beetroot? See if you can guess from the multiple choice list of options below...

A) Strawberries
B) Beetroot
C) Organic apples
D) Other stuff

That's right! As you'd expect from a strawberry and beetroot smoothie, the main ingredient was of course organic apples, making up 70% of the ingredients!

To be fair, it did also include organic strawberries (20%) and organic beetroot (5%), as well as organic raspberries (5%), but 'strawberry and beetroot' does seem a bit of a strange choice of name for a drink containing 70% organic apples.

Supermarket signs, labels and vouchers

When you want to be amused, the supermarket isn't perhaps the first thing that comes to mind. Nevertheless, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes a lighthearted look at supermarket signs, labels and vouchers, with examples highlighting poor math(s) and poor geography...

1) What a bargain!


First up, here's a great deal at my local supermarket...

A brilliant offer for stupid people!

One pizza for £1.50, or 2 for £8!

Wow! What a bargain! I think I'll buy, er ... one.
