First stop of the morning routine is the bathroom. Once you've attended to the 'Three S's', naturally it's time to brush your teeth. Happy days, healthy mouth, healthy mind, right? Until breakfast, whereupon nearly all food and drink produce is off limits for the fifteen minutes post-brush. In that delicate moment when your mouth is adjusting itself to the new day ahead in that lethargic manner that all bodily functions seem to do at such an early hour, all food tastes different. The worst culprit is the dangerously inviting orange juice. It might be advertised as a morning drink. It might look refreshing sat their chilling in your fridge door. It might do that trick of convincing you might be close to achieving your expected five-a-day (we all know we're not). But, one gulp of this with a minty mouth and your taste buds turn from a band of talented Swedish masseuses to Joan of Arc and the rest of the French Revolution.
3. "Unexpected Item In The Baggage Area"
"Unexpected item in the bagging area." "What? My shopping?" Self checkout is a fairly new phenomena that the more tech savvy among us, intrepidly explore at the end of our weekly shop. Unfortunately, this supposed fast track out of Sainsbury's is not as helpful as it's cracked up to be. Rather than letting you do your thing with the swiping (something I find I get really in to, kinda 'Fruit Ninja-esque), it has all these secret rules that it adheres to. Not that it ever lets you know what the problem is. No, you're stood there doing what you always do until for no apparent reason, that woman in the machine just barks at you that you're doing it wrong. What is the unexpected item? Is it really that surprising that after purchasing my sweetcorn, I'm going to put it down in the bagging area?
