"Professional Strength"

[grumpyduck]

I get such a kick out of all these products marked "professional strength" at the supermarket. Like toilet bowl cleaner and similar stuff. I'm just waiting for toilet paper to be marked that way.

I've never seen anything marked "amateur strength." Have you?

1. I have seen

‘Genuine Imitation Crabmeat’ for sale …
🤔

5. I'll forgive them that label

because it makes great seafood salad, stuffed mushrooms, and seafood tacos. It's just not crabmeat, although there is supposed to be a little crabmeat in it to flavor it. It's mostly pollock, a reasonably abundant white fish.

Most of it here is just labeled "Krab." You know, close enough but not the real thing.

6. With a b

10. I've actually seen that on bleach products

11. A LOT of antifreeze is labeled that way

Antifreeze has to be mixed 50/50 with water, so a lot of it comes already diluted so it's easy to use.

4. I always thought vitamin "fortified" was funny

Are we at war? Do vitamins defend against attackers?

7. The last bag of carrots I bought in the produce dept.

Was labeled “Fat Free”!

Darn! I wanted the carrots that are full of fat!

14. Years ago I worked in a small grocery store. We had a stock "boy" named Floyd

who had worked there from the time the Earth began to cool. He was a little tiny guy with gold wire rim glasses, white hair and an angelic smile.

One day a lady asked him where the toilet paper was. Floyd tottered over to aisle four, pointed to the TP and said, “There it is. You want your nonskid, or your puncture proof?”

17. lol

That line nearly wiped me out

18. Floyd delivered it to Mrs. Peterson, the store's most difficult customer.

He walked off with a little smile, while she stood there open mouthed and speechless, for the first time in living memory.
