This is Not a Garbage Can...

 

This is a bollard. You see them all the time. They're basically installed so people
won't drive past a certain point for safety purposes. This one is in a parking lot, 
and some "wonderful" people decided to use it as a garbage can. A little more
trash and it'll be overflowing onto the concrete.

A bollard is not a garbage can.

Who started this? Was it a woman or a man?

This post marks boundaries, and it's not for trash.

It could even help to prevent a crash.

Bollards can be made from many materials,

and different designs.

Use one as a trash can,

and you may be fined.

Hazardous Candy

 

I know we eat and drink chemicals every day, but here's a product
that has a warning on its package. The most disturbing part to me is

that this candy is being marketed to children! If you're a parent buying

this for your kids you must have a problem.

The package contains two warnings. One of the warnings has very 

specific instructions on how to eat their hazardous candy: CHOKING

HAZARD. DO NOT EAT EACH JELLY AS WHOLE PIECE, CHEW

IT CAREFULLY, NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 5

YEARS. How is it suitable for any child? The second warning explains

that their product can expose you to the chemicals lead, cadmium, and

acrylamide. They also say those chemicals are known to cause cancer, 

birth defects, or reproductive harm. This candy sounds as dangerous 

as cigarettes and alcohol. Nobody should be eating this stuff, especially

children.

This Boxed Meal Claims One Cup is a Serving

This meal is only 12 oz., and it's supposedly "about 2 servings".
Stouffer's claims that a serving size is 1 cup. How many adults are full
after eating only 1 cup of food? 

The front of the box brags about its 21 g of protein, but that's for the 

entire package, not the 1 cup serving! Mysteriously though, on the front

where they mention the sodium, it's 470 mg for the 1 cup serving. The

whole meal contains 1010 mg of sodium. That's a big difference!

I skimmed the ingredients before I bought the meal, but I didn't realize it

also contains carrageenan! I try my best to avoid carrageenan.

The packaging is misleading. The meal contains carrageenan, and a lot

of sodium, but it was tasty.

The Grocery Store is Not Your Garbage Can

 

I went to the grocery the other day, and I was appalled by the amount 
of trash I saw lying around the store. There's no doubt in my mind that 

some of these items were probably stolen, and that makes it even worse.

The people who did this were nasty, disrespectful thieves! I'd like to 

tell them, "The grocery store is not your garbage can!"

Below are photos of trash I saw on my last grocery trip:

Tangerine peel and potato chips

Gatorade on cookie shelf

Energy drink with cookies

Cigarette on floor

The people who did this should be ashamed of themselves!

If You're a Vegetarian Avoid This Snack

I'm not a vegetarian, but I was still surprised that the Chester's Fries
California Style BBQ flavored snack has chicken fat in the ingredients!

I think there should be a warning on the front of the package to 

inform people a chicken by-product is in the fries.

The back of the bag describes the flavor as sweet and tangy. They're

more tangy than sweet. They have a very strong smell and flavor.

For all you vegetarians out there, I guess you're gonna have to start

reading the ingredients of ready-to-eat snacks to make sure they're

meat-free. This is probably just the beginning of companies adding

chicken fat to their ready-to-eat snack products.
