I like the white kind

user-pic

It looks to me like somebody with a labelmaker just added something on for fun...

First designer colors, now designer flavors. Mmmm two-ply chocolate truffle.

user-pic

Although now that I look at it, a Unit Price of $1.83 is not 1/8 of $2.19...

user-pic

Maybe the sign maker was listening to too much X-Ray Spex:

My mind is like a plastic bag
That corresponds to all those ads
It sucks up all the rubbish
That is fed in through by ear
I eat Kleenex for breakfast
And use soft hygienic Weetabix
To dry my tears

Edible Kleenex...not a bad idea and it's eco-friendly. It tastes like Kleenex but it's snot.

user-pic

Aren't they all booger flavored when your done with them?

user-pic

Its definitely been P-Touched.

I hear the term "flavors" used in place "varieties," and "configuration" a lot in the tech industry.

user-pic

You know... kleenex is quite filling! And doesnt pack on the pounds!

user-pic

Hah I recognize that price sign anywhere..well the design anyway...it's from Wegmans. The white strip is a label maker thing for sure. The store that I work in has one behind the service desk so they can make people a nametag real quick. Someone got creative...and this gives me an idea :P

@MBZ321: WEGMANS!!!!!!! I recognized it too, but you beat me to it (:

I love the use of flavors for non-gustatory genre differentiation.

"What's wrong with this sign?"

It's on consumerist? *cough*

@Televiper: ditto

I used to have a dog that loved to eat used kleenex. It got to where he'd come running every time I sneezed, just the same way he'd react to dog biscuits.

user-pic

Have to love Wegmans. We can be pretty stupid some times.

user-pic

I am a bit confused at the $1.83 unit price. It is an 8-pack, but that doesn't add up. Maybe the person who figured the math was eating too many Kleenex?

user-pic

kjherron, my dog has taken up the same disgusting habit. Maybe I can find a flavor she won't like.

user-pic

@GitEmSteveDave: You got it. So 120 of the 100 means a 20% increase, taking 1.83 exactly to 2.19. At first I was confused too, but the unit price IS per 100.

user-pic

Flavors is actually an industry standard. I do a lot of work with various P&G product lines and they always use flavors to describe things such as deodorant, deteregent, etc.


I remember the first time I saw it, it struck me as odd but that's the terminology.

user-pic

@dorianh49: Green tastes like Lysol. Red or blue is where it's at.

@faust1200: "Edible Kleenex...not a bad idea and it's eco-friendly. It tastes like Kleenex but it's snot."

I wasn't expecting that, and I almost spat out my coffee.

user-pic

@Indecision: Ditto here. My coworker got a kick out of it too.


@faust1200: You get bonus points for humor.

user-pic

At least it wasn't printed that way by Wegmans, just added on later (and then laminated it looks like). The pricing people are probably so used to adding that for ice cream and stuff they didn't realize their mistake.
I wonder if the pink kleenex tastes like bubblegum?

user-pic

C'mon, Kleenex makes the perfect gift for that family member with pica. Then again, so does everything else they can fit in their mouth.

user-pic

The all flavors description must be why my Doberman likes to eat this stuff.

user-pic

I work in the grocery business and "flavors" is a term that is used for any item that has more than one type. Flavors of bleach, flavors of cat litter, flavors of deodorant, etc etc. How this came to be the used, I have no clue but at every store I have worked at, its been the norm.

user-pic

I <3 Wegman's! And yes, this is def fake.
