Product Labeling – rant

So … this is a huge bugaboo of mine and it makes me livid.  Stop putting sugar in things!!!

Why in the world is this anything other than tomatoes? Why can’t I count on it just being tomatoes? Why is there salt and sugar in this? It doesn’t say tomatoes and shit. It just says tomatoes on the front. It says they’re freshly packed. If that’s the case, when did they have time to add the salt and sugar and whatever other spice is in it.

Here’s another example:

Fuck You Republic of Tea
BULLSHIT ingredients other than hibiscus

This shit has stevia in it! Why? And why not say it’s sweetened? Had I realized it was sweetened, I wouldn’t have bought it! The front says heart healthy, natural hibiscus. It should say “And Other Shit.” I will never, ever buy either of these products again. It’s another infuriating lesson in why I have to read the label of every damn thing that comes with one.
