The Tao of Lurpak


Indeed it is.

I never expected this from my daily butter, mind you.

And, as Lurpak tells us, never trust a symmetrical loaf. Not that you would, but it is nice to be reminded once in a while.

Mincing aside, I really like companies that do things like this because it is encouraging that not all businesses are boring or immoral or blinkered to just profits and sales at the expense of sense. I've been thinking for a while that we tend to distrust things that look a bit 'wonky', such as a bent carrot or a flat-on-one-side onion. It is good to be reminded that these wonks are natural and it is actually unnatural to be perfect. We've become accustomed to having everything perfect and having it now. We waste so much that needn't be wasted. But with messages like this, funny and unexpected, we can start to remember our natural roots, and that our imperfections are integral and normal.

How's that for some marg-induced ranting!
Go, Lurpak!!!

That bird smells of chips

Taken from the Channel 5 website for its new show It Pays to Watch.

Oldstyle MoneySaving
Liz, 33, from West Molesey in Surrey is a wiz at carrying out everyday household chores at a fraction of the normal cost.

One of her top tips helps her save £135 a year on washing detergent. Instead of using liquid or tablets to wash her family’s cloths she uses soap nuts that she imports from India via the internet. She also uses vinegar instead of fabric softener and insists her cloths do not end up smelling like a chip shop.

She spends just £15 on vinegar and soap nuts while the average family spends around £135 a year on washing products.


What the crap are soap nuts and how much of a tight, smelly fucker would you have to be? Srsly?

I know what you're thinking! That we look familiar. Well we've just finished a modelling assignment for Uniqlo. You can see us on billboards across the UK right now wearing jumpers and casual attire. We're somebodies around this place.

Holy Cow
