What are you panic buying?

[Orang Utan]

Yes. So why would you want to make a noun of a verb, in this specific instance of egg containers? (Prudently covering my back here, in case there's some other instance in which I agree with nouning a verb )

What’s wrong with saying pack? They’re packed in packs

 

[Mation]

Not in the slightest bit persuasive IMO!!!

Put your box of 6, 19, 12, 15 or 27 eggs at the bottom of any bag of shopping?

Utter madness, unless you like ready-crunched eggs on return home

True. But no one has suggested putting other shopping on top of them. Only that they fit the bag. (I am assuming that maomao is a reasonable person.)

I'm painfully restricting myself to one egg breakfasts

Same for me on workdays, on which it's all about just a single boiled egg for breakfast, for me .......

I'll have to wait for Saturday Breakfast Cafes to reopen, if I want two

Fried or scrambled when that happens though, not at all fussy which, in a cafe-breakfast environment.

With ultra-quality coffee!

Everything. They are not.

What if you’re buying ingredients for tossed salad and scrambled eggs? I’d put the eggs at the bottom in that case. Bag. In that bag.

It's the wall for you, I'm afraid. No one goes out just for that.

We used to collect egg boxes for the nuns. The nuns didn't care if they were sixes or 12s or 24s. I think that proves Jesus loves all egg boxes exactly the same.

 

[Orang Utan]

Everything. They are not.

A pack of eggs. A pack of beans. A pack of pasta. The eggs are in boxes. The beans are in tins. The pasta is in plastic bags. Nevertheless you can still describe them all as coming in packs

 

[danny la rouge]

A pack of beans.

Absolutely not. You’ve gone too far this time.

I do. Well, when there’s no pandemic on I do. The pandemic has forced me into bug weekly shops, but I used to buy little and often, so I’m buying fresh when I need it.

What did the nun's use them for?

 

[Orang Utan]

Absolutely not. You’ve gone too far this time.

You can prove anything with facts:

How much wrong can one post contain?!! No one would eve describe them as coming in packs. Hardly anyone, anyway. Maybe a packet, emphasis on the et, of pasta, but that's it.

 

[Orang Utan]

Maybe it’s a regional thing

 

[Sue]

What did the nun's use them for?

Eggs.

Or maybe they were big Blue Peter fans .

 

[Orang Utan]

Apart from the fact that a pack of beans is literally described as such on its label

That’s a pack of cans. Dummkopf.

 

[danny la rouge]

No it isn’t. “6 can family pack”. It’s a pack of cans.

 

[danny la rouge]

Anyway, they’re stopping doing those packs of cans. They’re bad because plastic and unnecessary bulk buying.

 

[Orang Utan]

No it isn’t. “6 can family pack”. It’s a pack of cans.

But you wouldn’t say ‘get me a pack of cans’, you’d say ‘get me a pack of baked beans’

 

[Orang Utan]

Tins

 

[danny la rouge]

But you wouldn’t say ‘get me a pack of cans’, you’d say ‘get me a pack of baked beans’

No, you’d say “we need beans”. “How many tins should I get?” “Six”.

 

[William of Walworth]

Bit quiet on the Naked Urbanites thread just now ....., so a very fast moving egg and shopping themed thread has got to be the most exciting remaining alternative!?!

A pack!

Tins

It literally says cans on the pack.

Not so happy now, eh?

Normal bastard, compared to all this!
