Glorious A's and H's

I love the massive A's and H's here, but there are several confusing things happening. Straightaway I was perplexed by the odd spelling of McCain's,  a brand that's been around for decades, and then by the reference to their "glorious chips" which isn't a brand, but a reference to a 2016 tv ad for them.




Clearly whoever wrote this list is having a little in-joke with whoever's doing the shopping. What I can't fathom is the existence of people who so adore this short-lived 2016 advert that it's still a family catchphrase three years later, so much so that they feel the need to write it in their shopping list.

The next thing is the WROSE SWEET POTS, fairly straightforward I guess - Waitrose Sweet Potatoes - but what follows is very strange. OVEN  PAPRIKA.  Are we shopping for an oven and some paprika, or is oven paprika a specific type of paprika? If it is, I think we should be told.

Then, as if to highlight the posh cred of this list (it's from Waitrose, after all), we refer to rocket, which is what posh folk chuck on everything from salads to pizza to burgers (it's known as arugula in the USA, by the way).

Good Gravey! Beep!

Not only are we dealing with another bad speller, but I'm struggling with two things. (a) Blue green is what, exactly?, and (b) the random exclamation in the middle of good gravey - beep -  is most perplexing.

Tin Cats and Tea Ants

Where to start, where to start? Clearly this person has pen and pencil issues, as well as spelling problems (why do so many people believe that the word carrots has two 'T's?) and chronic indecision, it would seem.

I'm also curious as to the dinner menu in this house. What can one make with carrots, soup, veg soup,  gravy granules, low fat soft cheese and apricots? I'm also struggling to make out the scratched-out entry below soft cheese. Tin cat? Tea ant? Who knows?

Bad spellers of the world untie!

Here's what it looks like it says:

Cif
demostis
£10
Rise nits
Chef coffee

Here's what I think it's supposed to say:

Cif (cleaning product that used to be called Vim and then Jif until a few years back when Unilever, the makers of Jif,  changed it because there was a brand of lemon juice called Jif - like anyone would get the two mixed up. Ammonia on your pancakes, anyone? However the reason for the name change was "product streamlining" apparently, even though it's also known in some countries as Viss, Handy Andy and Jif.)
Domestos ( a brand of bleach that's been around for eons, with the same tagline "Kills 99% of all known germs - dead." Kind of redundant.)
£10
Biscuits - a bit non-specific for my liking. Surely these people have favourites?
Cheap coffee - Ah, I see. Now we get to the crux of the matter. They want cheap coffee and non-specific biscuits because they are clearly buying them for someone else.



But still - demostis? Really? That's not even close. True, the consonants are where they are supposed to be, but the vowels are way off.

£10?
