I recently bought a bottle of sauce which carried the warning 'Do not use if seal is broken'.
As soon as I opened it the seal broke, immediately rendering it unusable.
I wonder how many other innocent shoppers, especially pensioners, have fallen for this evil scam??

For years I took precautions to "Shake well before using". Then someone told me it referred to the bottle.

I would ask for my money back on one of them then. I mean by virtue of the definition of "best" , they can't both be best. One must be second best and who would want that when you've paid for the best.

Maybe they coud do a "buy one and get one free" deal. That would then be fair besause most people would accept second best if it was free. Yeah. That sounds about right.
