Incidentally, one thing that annoys me a little is that the directions
on a certain brand of packaged pasta mix begin, "In a medium saucepan,
bring 2/3 cup (170mL) low fat milk, 2 1/2 cups (580mL) water and 1
tablespoon polyunsaturated table spread to the boil".

The reason it annoys me is because in my opinion it patronises the
customer, who is perfectly capable of making up their own mind whether
to use low fat milk or not!!
