Things that sh*t me the seventeenth

[Billy ray]

Go to hospital if it gets worse dude.
Im at one now with my gf with chest issues.

They rules out blood clots after a ct and ultrasound but some liquid around lungs and slightly enlarged heart. Kept her in for observation overnight and to see if they could reduce liquid with some drugs.
I’ll be heading back this morning with hopefully a plan for her from the drs.
I swear these last four years and hospitals…

This shit. Was gifted a couple - thankfully didn't buy it myself - and its atrocious. Talk about a solution looking for a problem.

For a start the vegemite is watered down to make it flow, but its still too viscous to work properly with the squeezy-honey bottle.

It clings to the top and sides so you get an air hollow in the middle, and if you squeeze it you get a bit of vegemite and then it farts. And when it farts, it spatters. So you now have to clean up vegemite spray off the benchtop and hopefully not your clothes.

Really pressing the sides in to get the second half out is an exercise in frustration. Probably a third of it remained in the bottle with no way of getting it out, except by removing the lid and sticking the knife in, which is what you'd do with a jar anyway.

Even with that, due to the shape of the bottle I was unable to get the last 20% out and wound up washing it out and tossing into the recycling.

Mind you, the profit margins from selling watered-down product that can't be fully used must have the beancounters chortling and rubbing their hands. **** the consumers, as per usual.

They'll prise Vegemite in a glass jar out of my cold, dead hands.

Whenever I see that I laugh - looks the most pointless idea

Glass is so much better & more user friendly - plus, when I get down to the dregs, I put it aside for when cooking mince, add some hot water to the jar to help rinse it out and add it to the mix

I took a tube of Vegemite to Europe almost 20 years ago, glass not so good when you're back packing

I've stashed the little packets that it get from hotels & cafes in my bag when I've headed overseas

When I did my first big solo trip I had been away for 7 months when my mum was going to join me for about a month - at a cafe near where she had worked & I'd also frequent she asked if she could get a couple of those little packets for me and they have her about half a box

Tomato paste in those bottles does the same, usually all over me . I've learned to unscrew the top and get the contents out cautiously with a knife or small spoon, whatever fits.

Tap the bottle on the bench or sink to get the stuff to move down to the opening (top closed of course ).

A knife should be able to scrape out obstinate remnants.

...

Why don't people just store these jars 'upside down' (on the lid)?

Not so much the above (haven't seen it, still have the humongous glass jars that last forever) - but things like Tomato Paste, Honey, etc.

It just makes sense to me.

I did, they are designed to be upside down so that the contents settle on the outlet.

I’ve never liked it either. i used to eat Promite but Vegemite with Cheese - as it’s now boringly labelled, used to be Cheesybite - is surprisingly good.
