In the supermarket yesterday, we bought some Double Chocolate Muffins. I looked around for Single Chocolate Muffins, but they didn't have any. I asked the bakery dept. He said they don't make them.
OK, so how can they have Double Chocolate Muffins if they don't have single? Double what????

I went into Dominos and asked for a small pizza. Apparently they only do large. Whats the point in calling them large if that's the only size they make?

That's right, they're not large, or small, they are just pizzas.

What, so every dairy, bakery, supermarket or any other drinking establishment which sells them is breaking the law? What a country we live in!!

Because Coca-Cola are trying to stop dairies etc from buying their stock from supermarkets, preferring that instead they buy directly from Coke, paying motre in the process. But the fact that everyone is flying in the face of that attempt at making a multi-national corporation even more money shows that such draconian business practices do not work. Thankfully.
 
On another tack, why do potato chip companies pack the chip bags so that all of the small, broken ones are at the bottom?

Because chips look much nicer being large when you open the bag ...

The OP reminds of an attempt I made to buy a duvet. Went in to the shop and they had duvet COVERS and duvet INNERS. When I asked "where are the duvets?" the response was "you think you're funny don't you mate".

Why doesn't the Cat Stevens song "Where Do The Children Play" have a question mark after it?

Why does Mr Whippy (who sounds like a deviant, but that's another story) call his soft-serve and chocolate bar offering a "Flake 99"? And, if we can explain that, what, praytell, would constitute a "Flake 98", or, indeed, a "Flake 100"?

Why do we put up with Cat Stevens at all, given that he's the ultimate smelly hippie, who opted out to the extent of leaving his own culture and adopting someone else's and renaming himself something ridiculous? Like being called 'Cat' wasn't ridiculous enough on its own....

With some major Supermarkets  whilst putting signs up banning "Trade buyers", actively turn a blind eye to the said dairy owners. I mean just how many Cokes do some drink on a daily basis? 5 cartons seems a bit extreme to me.

I think you will find that a lot a manufacturers try to get around this by not putting bar codes on products that are not for individual sale. Example. Bundaberg Ginger Beer. If you buy it in a 4 or 10 pack the bottles don't have  bar codes. I also believe that these versions just don't taste as good as the ones with bar codes. Conspiracy anyone?

Is there no such thing as a Cash and Carry (ie Wholesaler) specialising to trade in NZ? Rather than buying directly from the manufacturer.

Big in the UK - you just need a VAT number to get a membership card and your on your way (Although Moore Wilson does seems to be a bit similar to this concept)

When Hibs, went up, to win the Scottish Cup - I wisnae there - furfuxake!

Things I don't get! Why is that in a small town like Wellington people can be so indiscreet?? Like what you say or do won't get around or back to you.
 Cook Strait ferry thread above...I heard all that in the chip shop.
I had a *chat with a politician's wife, a couple of years back, tell me about a party infight. Was wicked. She actually left the pub and came back fifteen minutes later to say to me "please say you are NOT a jouirnalist...
