The French take their produce seriously. Seriously?

Serves him right.

Wish the store detective when I worked in Asda in Leicester could have charged the toddlers with vandalism for knocking all the shampoos on the floor after I'd spent 10 minutes restocking and facing them up.

Although really someone should have charged the package design teams for making top heavy bottles. Certain brands fell over all the damn time, taking out every other bottle in the vicinity, like some demented Guinness Book of Records attempt destroyed by an errant sparrow.

Oh and at a different store where a friend of mine worked, a young lad punched his finger through the plastic of every large cake in sight, just for the noise and the thrill of it.
Prang! Prang! Prang!
Those birthday/ celebration cakes knew what it was to be destroyed that day I can tell you. His doting Amma did nothing about it. She probably just admired her little man's strength. Grrrrrr.

Still, at least the pear-gobbler in the OT wasn't executed or transported. I hope...
(Ps - get your hair cut!)

Reminds me of the story from one of the Beverly Cleary books, where Ramona took one bite from every apple in a crate, because the first bite was always the best.
