Nanny State cracks down on underage BBQ saucing

I had no idea BBQ sauce had alcohol in it.

  • you didnt think

    jack daniels bbq sauce would have alcohol in it?

    • I phrased that wrong

      I meant something along the lines of I didn't know you could get BBQ sauce with alcohol in it

  • Nancy state more like

    Ponce State

  • getting drunk on BBQ Sauce

    now that would be dedication to the cause of binge drinking

  • that's ridiculous.

    • How is it at all ridiculous?

      Someone asked for ID for alcoholic product. Can't produce it. Don't get it.

      It's about the least ridiculous thing possible.

      • Right you

        You are banned from all of my threads about food. OUT

        • For expressing the most reasonable opinion possible

          on this subject?

          You think that if someone doesn't have any ID they should just go "well, sure, okay, why not, you say you're old enough, I'm sure you're an honest person..."?

          • I'm in agreement.

            The woman in question may look 14.

          • Yes

            I'm banning you for being the most reasonable any human being could be. So reasonable infact, that percieved common sense and context, not being nearly reasonable enough, are completely ignored.

            Now, OUT!

            • So what's the common sense approach in this situation

              then?

              • It is a sauce.

                A sauce of which you would have to consume unholy quantities of for the alcoholic content to take effect.

                I'm not actually sure how the law works here either, but apparently buying liquer chocolates doesn't always requred ID. I'd have thought this would be similar

                • It does require ID

                  I think liquer chocolates might be 16, but that's irrelevant.

                  If you're going to buy a product containing alcohol, you should realise that most shops, especially supermarkets are going to require you to get ID, and that a checkout person isn't going to risk losing their job just because someone is 'probably old enough'.

                  It's not like a lack of Jack Daniels Barbeque Sauce is going to ruin anyones week, just say you don't have any ID, didn't realise you needed any, and go get a different one. It's not difficult.

      • .............

      • Marry me

        Right now. We'll have two bathrooms and we'll eat at separate times.

    • FFS

  • "it just seems crazy over a sauce"

    i take sauce very seriously. if i was prevented from purchasing a condiment i would be devastated.

  • "tiny amount of alcohol"?

    its almost as much as weak beer

    • You probably wouldn't guzzle the whole bottle down

      in one sitting though

      • i actually found a bottle of this in my fridge this weekend

        most sauce i can basically drink, cos im a bit like that, but this stuff, no.

        cos it's shit

    • have you ever seen anyone getting ID'd for Kaliber?

      I have, we laughed at him. good times.

    • its exactly the same as the Carling C2

      you need ID for that. blates.

  • Should have gone for

    Budweiser Honey BBQ Sauce anyway. Superior!

  • i can't see anything wrong with this situation.

    • there is something horrifically wrong with the situation

      a fellow sauce-enthusiast was prevended from purchasing the sauce she desired so much!

      "Claire lives in Liverpool and she can't buy the sauce up there so she was really disappointed she couldn't get it in Flitwick."

      i swear, there's a tear in my eye

  • god pocketmouse is such a bore

    i mean i'm sorry but every time i'm confronted with her complete monotony i just can't believe it.

  • I used to go out with someone who lived in Flitwick.

    there's not much there to do besides get drunk, so i can kinda see where they're coming from.

  • I'm reporting this thread under the Trade Descriptiond Act

    It has nothing to do with the Nanny State at all.
