[Serious] Only in a Leap Year

Look closely at the package. Just below the lettering.

Don't forget this brand of fresh lettuce, folks. What probably happened is, the water the lettuce was washed in contained polliwogs and these became fresh new frogs, right in the packages. So if you're looking for salad fixins with a little more "body," then be sure and try this brand. Don't forget, it's the extra care that Mexican companies take that makes the difference



In just about every such case the conclusion remains unresolved, with the purchasers adamantly insisting they found live (or formerly live) frogs in store- or restaurant-purchased products, and the suppliers of those products maintaining just as adamantly that the critters could not possibly have passed through or survived the production processes.

Don't forget, it's the casual racism in the UK Chat forum that makes the difference!

I know you're simply quoting from Snopes, but also according to Snopes, the brand in the photo is European.

Come on Dave, it's called humour!

"Health and convenience are two of Florette’s key attributes, and with current healthy eating trends showing no signs of abating, the bagged salad market will continue to have strong sales growth, according to Dewez “People are changing their eating patterns so that fresh food and vegetables are an essential part of the diet. Florette fits that perfectly,” he said. “It is also a convenience factor, and with Florette, you have everything ready to eat, ready-mixed, ready-washed.” The Florette brand had already pioneered the bagged salad concept in France and the UK. Since its beginnings in the late eighties, the brand has gone from strength to strength and now has over 15% of Europe’s prepared salad market. Florette products are packed in five factories across Europe, [i]including a facility in Lichfield in the UK."

My, those filthy, unhygenic Europeans - "never much liked them anyway. Mostly too indolent, Pablo"

"BTW, is that a worm in that bottle of Tequila?"

Aye, but that assumes a sense of humour. Mitches reaction was based on your previous posts... which demonstrate a lack thereof.

Therefore you can hardly blame Mitch
