Guest HIS girl Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/break...y-1225821644816 Man opens bag of Cheese Rings, finds one A DARWIN man has opened a bag of chips and found only one inside. The Northern Territory News reports Phil Jackson, 54, of Wanguri, brought the Cheese Rings to work with him on Monday. When he opened the bag he was stunned to find it contained only one solitary ring - barely a mouthful. "I was devastated," he said. "I put it down to the GFC - money's tight, times are hard." The innocent snack attack victim had bought them in a large variety pack from a Coles supermarket. Coles spokesman Jim Cooper said he would get a replacement pack. "We certainly aren't in the business of giving people a single cheese ring in the packet," Mr Cooper said. Mr Jackson was philosophical, saying the day before he had gone to KFC to get a five-piece wing pack, only to find six pieces inside. "What you lose on the hurdy-gurdy you pick up on the roundabout," he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shiloh357 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I'm worried about this guys diet... Cheese rings and KFC? Spose if you wash it down with a diet soda it's ok.... Didn't you know? You can eat three sandwiches at McDonald's, along with a large french fry order and if you get a diet coke, all calories are negated. It works that way at the movie theater as well. But at the theatre, any food consumed during the movie has no calories because it it is considered part of the entire entertainment package.
