I think the same whenever I read that some food has been made of "specially selected ingredients". Not just thrown together with whatever was left in the market at the end of the day.
Craghoppers! I still like their Kiwi trousers, you have to balance the off-putting 'mindful' crap against finally —it's only taken about 20 years— getting the zip on the cargo pocket right. Now if they could just make the pockets a little deeper, as they used to be, so things didn't fall out when sitting down, and get a proper choice of colours back in stock, and a slightly more robust fabric… they would be near perfect again.
Doonhamer - we also smile at "specially selected ingredients". Specially selected for what? Cheapness?
djc - I always go for zips on walking trouser pockets for that reason, things falling out when sitting down. The walking trousers I usually wear are Craghoppers I've had for years - cheap but they dry quickly and won't wear out. I don't know why colours are so dull though - there is no great incentive to think about a new pair.

I always wonder about the wording on Coke bottles ---- "original recipe".
ReplyDeleteWhat could that mean?
Shvatio - if true it ought to mean that it still contains cocaine. That can't be true though, MPs and celebrities would be drinking it by the gallon.
