Waltzing With Walmart

From pricing errors to rude employees, out of stocks to hilljack customers. These are my tales of Dancing With The Devil

Aww Nuts!

I was recently in Wal-Mart, picking up something for my boss. (Felt I needed to justify being in the store). After I picked up the items that he wanted, I wandered over to the snack aisle. I usually keep a can of peanuts at my desk to battle the afternoon munchies. I was out and figured that this would be a good time to get more.

Sure enough, there was a 2lb can of lightly salted "Party Peanuts". That's exactly what the lable read. "Party Peanuts"

The price was good enough, so I loaded up my "Party Peanuts", made my purchases, and headed back to work.

Back in my office I opened the can and popped a few. They were blanched, not roasted. Oh well, no big deal really. Just out of curiosity I looked at the label to see if it stated anywhere that these were blanched as opposed to roasted. I rotated the can and saw a warning label. I didn't know that peanuts carried warning labels. I hope that I purchased the ones that caused low fetal birth weight, I'd hate to get lung cancer.

So I read the label and fell down laughing on the floor.

The Label?



"Warning: May Contain Peanuts"
