This is the second post I've done about stupid things I hear in the grocery store. The first one was the young woman who asked if they had "any of those special baking potatoes with the plastic on them". LOL
Not all the demo ladies are the sharpest tools in the shed. We were in a grocery store about 10 years ago and a lady was giving out samples of macadamia nuts. She asked us if we would like to try some Macedonia nuts!
To this day, in our house, they are referred to as Macedonia nuts.
We walked into a Sam's a few months ago and a young demo girl was hocking
Face products. I asked her a SIMPLE question. She could not answer it.
It was some anti aging, acne reducing, smoother looking face shtick.
When I asked her what anti aging elements are in the product, she didn't even try to throw some names out. "Uh, I really don't know". Plus her face looked like a cheese pizza!
Then...
Walked by a demo lady hocking a chicken product.. I bought the bag because the lady was very knowledgeable about her product. She gave me pointers on how to serve the product, compared the taste to others, knew all the ingredients in the bag, and she just
carried her self nicely.
The funny part was when I asked what parts of the chicken are in this product. She said, "well the bag says Breast Meat, but I'm pretty sure they threw some thighs, wings, backs. Wait! Do chickens have backs? I'm just kidding, the package says Breasts, so breasts it is, never mind me I'm just in a good mood today!"
That sealed the deal for me.

LOL. It reminds me of the waitress who told us the veg of the day was a melody of vegetables.
My kids are in their 20s now, but I remember using the canned powdered Similac formula in the mid to late 80s and the can cautioned you not to feed it to the baby without adding water. There are people really stupid enough to do that if not instructed otherwise?

Like what they always said: The pretty ones are usually the crazy ones.
I was at Sam's Club today, getting a ham for Christmas. I was brousing around and picked up a bag of frozen scallops. The warning on the bag said, "Contains shellfish." This made me laugh.
It just so happens that a "Food Sample Lady" (I don't know what their pc title is, but I have noticed online that they might make $15.00 and hour), was nearby and I said (feeling the need to explain why I was laughing with nobody else around) "this bag of scallops says, 'contains shellfish'". Her reply was, " It does? I didn't know that."
Lord, give me strength. I am sitting here by myself, and still laughing my head off.
This may shock you but not everybody knows everything. I wouldn't know a scallop if I met one. It just has never been part of my education. My husband is very allergic to shellfish, so I would appreciate that the warning is on the package. Why would this be so funny to you. Bet I know things you don't know too. Not that I would probably ever buy a bag of scallops. When it comes to fish or sea food I prefer trout, flounder, tilapia, salmon, period. I used to eat shrimp but I started thinking of them as ocean grub worms. That totally turned me off. I can't even stand the thoughts of eating one any more.
I remember a story I read in the 70s where someone purchased the "new" Lemon scent Joy dishwashing detergent. They actually thought it was lemon juice for edible purposes...no lie!

Dessert is a symphony of carbs.
