Well it is slightly selfish as I really want them to start selling Oppo again..Good for you (and the rest of us)
Nothing wrong with that. Good luck. Hope you get a result.Well it is slightly selfish as I really want them to start selling Oppo again..
I must admit I have had 2 calls from customer service as well as e-mails but unfortunately no luck. I am monitoring how much of the ****** stuff they are selling.. (none so far from what I can see) so I can try and get the Oppo back again.
When I read something like this I am always reminded of the egg salesman who said that when he puts FREE RANGE on the box he sells a lot more eggs.Doing the weekly shop this morning and trawling through the aisles I came across "diabetic" jams and spreads upon inspecting them closer I found they actually contain a hell of a lot of the things we're told to avoid or minimise... even having it at its RDA would of been ridiculous. Has anyone else found this peculiar?
They are usually far more expensive too.
Nooooooo, shock horror.
I know.Sarcasm is most unbecoming.
I think there is a clue in the word JAM. It does not seem to trip off the tongue so well when paired with 'sugar free'. Same thing goes for Maple Syrup. There is also a stigma attached to the term 'spread' which seems to imply mucked about with. At least Procssed Cheese is honest.I check out some items recently. One diabetic jam was 89g of carbs. These products are advertised as "for diabetics '. This is complete nonsense.
I wonder if there is anything we might do such as complaining to the ASA or the FSA.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Quite possibly. Ah yes, brought to you by the plastic cheese people.I think there is a clue in the word JAM. It does not seem to trip off the tongue so well when paired with 'sugar free'.

And the plastic buttery spreads people. Who would have thought that plastic cows udders prancing about on the tv screen would have been so successful at selling such c**p.Quite possibly. Ah yes, brought to you by the plastic cheese people.
Yep. We've got the condition, health care professionals and the 'food' against us.And the plastic buttery spreads people. Who would have thought that plastic cows udders prancing about on the tv screen would have been so successful at selling such c**p.
And that included the toast too I hope?On the day I was diagnosed with Type 2 my GP told me to avoid diabetic products like the plague. Basically she said "If you must eat chocolate or have jam etc on your toast then eat the normal stuff but in extreme moderation. It will do far less harm."
Yes - it is very odd that they think we will not look at the ingredients. I certainly do look very closely on anything that i purchase that is produced by a company. It is difficult to do it but i have found that it makes a huge difference to the good management of my diabetes.Doing the weekly shop this morning and trawling through the aisles I came across "diabetic" jams and spreads upon inspecting them closer I found they actually contain a hell of a lot of the things we're told to avoid or minimise... even having it at its RDA would of been ridiculous.

They are actually useful for the diabetic foot in case of neuropathy to avoid irritations. They are made without stitches and the tissue used isn't rough internally.Hi
I once saw some Diabetic socks for sale
I'd sway towards eating them... a dollop of mayonnaise?Hi
I once saw some Diabetic socks for sale in Aldi and was unsure whether to eat them or wear them!
I kid you not.
