Who's dumber? Starbucks employees or those who hire them, who made such instructions - "How to wash hands":

Just opened up a package of Private Selection (Kroger "Premium" Brand) Sliced Honey Smoked Turkey Breast. On the back side of the container top reads:

Sandwich Ingredients:
Makes 1 Sandwich
2 slices whole wheat bread
5 or 6 slice Private Selection honey turkey
2 slices Private Selection pepperjack cheese
2 slices tomato
1 lettuce leaf
2 TBSP Private Selection sweet and hot mustard

Method:
1. Place the Turkey (yes, the capitalized it) on one of the slices of bread, and then spread one tablespoon of mustard on the Turkey.
2. Add the cheese, tomato, and lettuce.
3. Spread the rest of the mustard and place on the top piece of bread (no period, this time...hmmm...)


Okay, I'm all for neat recipes on food packages, including interesting twists on favorite staples, but have we become so dumb that we need to be told how to make a basic sandwich, including where to place the second piece of bread?

Psst-Hey genius, they are just pimping their other products on the wrapper. Nothing more.

They probably don't sell a bacon product.

Who doesn't sell bacon?

Best bacon I buy - kosher bacon, @ stores in Borough Park in Brooklyn, NY.
Kosher bacon is the best bacon...Better could be only ukrainian salted raw bacon...

Is that any worse than boxed products with the "Serving Suggestion" disclaimer on the picture to absolve them of liability for the fact that a box of Cheerios does not contain, and does not have to be eaten with, milk, a spoon, a bowl, a grapefruit half, etc?

And they make a mess when your lead needs his head cranked to eleven. :biggrin:

My sandwiches go to 12, but only under a full moon.

If you want a sandwich that goes to 12, stop by during a full moon and I'll make you one.

Bring fresh wolfsbane, though.
