I don't really see the point. Pasta is already really cheap and easy to make, and 12 minutes doesn't seem very fast. You can get meat sauce cheap in a jar.

Nice isn't a brand name, it's the name of the biscuit probably named after the French city. Loads of biscuit manufacturers make Nice biscuits, here in Australia they're made by Arnott's.

These didn't really go away, just got replaced with a much less packaging dependent method where sauce ice cubes are mixed in with the frozen pasta. The point is some people are absolutely paralyzed when asked to do monumental planning tasks like figure out how much of the sauce jar goes into the box pasta. And occasionally an easy way to get cheese stuffed pasta if you don't have access to any semi-fresh in the fridge section.

I'm not sure anyone hadn't grasped that concept, it was just the juxtaposition of thing with Nice in name costing .69 cents/pence/whatever that was amusing

Nice! is literally the store-brand for Walgreens. Where the gently caress did you get biscuits from? The picture itself is a bottle of water.

The first weird out of place comment was SlothfulCobra, to even bring up store brands at all was irrelevant in response to someone else saying "hey lol I also have a picture of the product name 'nice', price '69' juxtaposition. It seemed like a mission to advertise Walgreens store brand.

I'm almost certain Helith doesn't think every single package with Nice on it must contain biscuits, as you say there was literally a bottle of water in the picture, but they were confused by SlothfulCobra's bringing up of brands. A confused reply to a weird reply.

Now your post is a confused reply to a confused reply to a weird reply and we're an ouroboros of idiot posters.

Geez. More caffeine per ounce than monster energy, and you hit the recommended maximum daily intake (4-5 cups of coffee equivalent) in a large one.

He's not really a mascot. Oor Wullie is a comic strip character that's been around for decades, kind of like a Scots Dennis the Menace.

Anything labelled "Iron Brew" or other variations that aren't specifically Irn Bru(tm) are off-brand knock-offs that probably vaguely taste like the real thing.
