Why is it that processed food claim they have no artificial colours or flavours but when one inspects the contents label it list substances such as colour 100 or flavour 600?

Because they're technically correct, they are not artificial substances.

They are artificial reproductions of natural substances.

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is flavour enhancer E621 (E621 being its food additive code) and flavour enhancer E635 is Disodium Ribonucleotides.

The package is correct, it has no added MSG.

Though that doesn’t change the fact it still tastes like crap.

Why do I hate certain trivial things so much? eg. Bunnings Warehouse, the Trivago ads, Guy Sebastian to name a few.

Why is it a crime to have a lowered car? What's the logic? I asked the cop this the other day as he handed me an invitation to donate several hundered $$ to the gov. He said ask the RTA. I have coil over suspension which he interpreted as 'cut springs', big sway bars, fat tread but apparently my car has a 'major defect'. my logic is it handles and grips 10 times better than when it came out of the factory, yet according to the police it's death trap? How about pulling over the young women you see everywhere on bald cheese cutters, floating around on shagged out stock shocks and running 12psi? I couldn't help but get angry as it's over a weeks pay to pay the ticket and I really have done nothing wrong

It's not a crime to have it lowered. It is a defect to go outside the regulations and it's really with pretty good reason. Same with excessively wide rims or offsets. They often handle OK in the dry on billiard flat roads but in the rain or bumps they can be a lot worse than stock suspension. You see guys lower their cars so much the suspension crashes into the bump stops or shocks bottom out or they cut the bump springs and then the suspension arms foul on the frame or ball joints fall out.

If you are confident in your work just get it engineered.

BTW, my car is illegally modified but I'm prepared to wear it if I get defected.

Yes, I've seen people whinge loudly when they've had it pointed out that the "lowest fixed point" under the car is actually below the level of their rims. They honestly can't see what the problem is...

Hint: "flat tyre"...

[CoupeKing]

That's how they get around it. ''no added msg''......they didn't add any in it, but the company they source their products from did. Another example is ''herbs and spices'' or ''onion/celery powder''...that stuff is packed with flavour enhancers. I also love the title ''100% fresh''...I can take a dump in the backyard and call it fresh.

[Road Games]

Why is it when i am driving a speed limited 100km/hr vehicle and ******* wish to drive at 90 yet speed up to 110+ after you change lanes ???

[Tonz]

If you can make something useful from pollen, I'll call it natural.

[Spurious]

Why is it we park on a driveway & drive on a parkway?

& do we need a reason to drive across a "causeway"?

[Lunch]

Why is it theyre called 'apartments' when theyre all together?

[Spurious]

Why is it...

the older your rental house gets, the higher the rent gets?

[EgoFG]

Um ... Why do we put Cargo on a Ship, but a Shipment can go by car.

[Tonz]

why is it stupid polies always have to have their nose in the trough after natural disasters.
CFS guys doing fantastic job around Adelaide, Wetherill comes f**t ar***g around and 'can you stop that while we have photos with you" They guys are putting out a bloody fire d**khead, same goes for Abbott FFS if I was there they bloody hose would either trip the idiots or blast the windows off their cars.

[The Yeti]

Why is it you can have a long conversation with your better half and decide quite amicably and with out any sort of fuss on the purchase of an item, but when there's a problem, she always wanted the other one we looked at

[nuthin' fancy]

Why is it that the supermarkets now have different shaped shopping trolleys so that where W*****rths and C*l*s (I sensor them like swearing) are in the same complex, the trolleys don't nest into each other so the trolleys back out into the driveways and the supermarkets don't clear the trolleys as often as they used to.

Damned supermarkets, merchants of evil.

[Morexbs]

I live in an L shaped court and why is it that when a car gets to the bend,the driver feels the need to indicate?Even people who live in the court do it.You can't go any in any other direction!

[damo76]

Why is it.... When you try and sell a 32 year old car people seem to think the thing should be in brand new condition.
Why is it... When the drop kick tyre-kickers come have a look at your 32 year old car they spend an hour looking at every detail, keep smacking the drivers door on the bricks and almost rip the transfer case out because the dumb ***ts cant get it in low on concrete.
Sigh... No wonder i get grumpy and want to crack skulls.
PS.. If you want a car with nothing wrong with it go buy a fu**in new car.

Why is it every time you try to sell something for a reasonable price lowballers harass you incessantly. I've advertised a 2yo tractor and implements for a very reasonable price yet 2 people insist on texting me every second day after their lowball offers. Luckily I'm a polite fellow - "No thanks" is all I say...

Yes stupid texts no one phones anymore, if you have questions phone not send 20 stupid texts.

[Franco Cozzo]

Thats like those dodgy older Mercedes Sprinter cab chassis bus conversions you see getting around on Tullamarine Freeway heading toward the Airport every now and again.

[WHYME]

Why is it Holdens get spanked by Fords?

[Yellow_Festiva]

Why is it that the word flammable and inflammable mean exactly the same thing!?!?

[Lunch]

That when you've been hanging out for some maccas and you've hit the drive thru, you can put your house on it that they'll forget the 1 item you've wanted the most and you dont realize until you get home..

[Syndrome]

Why is it that my Australian designed and made Falcon has the American message "Headlamps on" when I switch off the ignition but leave the headlights on?

[Tassie f100]

Yeah there was a Kimberley and a cheaper poverty pack Tasman.The Kimberley had twin rectangular headlights whereas the Tasman had single rec. headlights.
