Annoying Design Faults In Everyday Products #1

Why do they put the best before date on the peel off lid of yoghurt pots and then supply you with a plastic reclosable lid so you can throw it away?

Admittedly the peel off lid is probably the easiest thing to print on and they're only really interested in fulfilling their legal obligations in this regards, but this is still plain stupid!

Current word count - 0 :-(

I suppose it all comes of dancing too much and to write a 50k novel in a month I'd have to give some of that up (contraversial!!)

Nanowrimo again...

But have written a quick 228 words (a mere drop in the ocean, but a start).
