Ketchup.

Okay, so I’ve been meaning to blog this for a while. Essentially another rant, but, anyway, I was in the MMUnion for a usual meet up with friends for lunch, and in the SU you have to buy the ketchup (which in itself is worth a rant) for 10p a sachet. I was reading the ingredients on the back of the sachet, and I was pretty shocked about what it contained, or more what it ‘may contain’.

Here we go:

Ingredients: Water, Glucose-Fructose, Syrup, Tomato Paste (15%), Modified Maize Starch, Salt, Acidity Regulators (x2 E numbers), Preservative (x1 E number), Spice extracts.

So out of the ingredients only 15% is tomato, and not even real tomatoes, it’s tomato PASTE. Blerh.

Caution: MAY CONTAIN nuts, peanuts, seasame seeds, mustard, celery, FISH, eggs, milk, soybeans, sulphites, cereals containing gluten.

What the hell?! I’ll stick to me heinz please, least that actually tastes tomatoey.

Skint.

So after writing my complaint letter (about the piece of bone in my chicken nugget) to McDonalds, they wrote back with an apology and three £5 vouchers, not bad going really! However, after getting another meal from McDonalds a few days later I found another piece of bone in my chicken nugget. I haven’t been to that McDonalds since, I think it’s pretty disgraceful. I don’t even want to spend my free vouchers there!

On a happier note, I’ve finished all my exams! I get my results on July 12th, which is a bit nerve wrecking. I don’t really want to know what I got.

I had a great time camping the other weekend, bacon butties every morning, looking after my little second cousins, awesome BBQ, camp fire songs, general cousin love, and incredible sunburn!

I’ve also bought a new camera! It’s the same as my old one so not much to report there, but it’s great having a camera again.

Will and I also booked a holiday to Altea, Spain For the end of July for a couple of weeks, just a shame I now have no money to buy holiday clothes or much else! Oh well I don’t need many clothes to get a tan :P
