If I hear one more food ad claiming they use "real ingredients" I'm going to choke up a Mama Mancini's meatball.
By definition, anything is a "real ingredient." Put a dead skunk in your meatballs, it's a real ingredient. Put a glowing Fukushima cuttlefish in your chowder, it's a "real ingredient." Now, if you want to claim you're using only all natural ingredients, or only organic ingredients, fine...say so. But "100% real ingredients" is a totally meaningless term meant to deceive you.
You'll remember me next time you hear one of these bullshit ads.

(47,565 posts)It was the old "these are real people on hidden camera" thing.
I told her, "Of course those are real people. They're obviously not statues or robots. And they don't tell you whether or not the people know that they're on hidden camera."
Then I gave her the old story about the grocer who raises the price 10 cents and writes "Price marked is 10 cents off." Because yeah, the price is off by exactly 10 cents. I like that one.

(8,836 posts)100% Parmesan Cheese.
Long ago when the top and bottom of those green containers of parmesan cheese were aluminum instead of plastic I had what I supposed was a "grate" idea.
The top and bottom aluminum could be molded with vertical strips so as when one shook the container up and down the clumps would be broken efficiently.
I read somewhere recently that Parmesan cheese now has wood cellulose (wood fibers) as an ingredient so the grated cheese does not get clumpy.
I bought a container (I usually get the higher end shredded parmesan in plastic tubs now).
Sure enough the cheese is not clumpy at all; among the ingredients, "Cellulose powder to prevent caking".
One the front label:
---- 100% Grated -----
Parmesan
---- Cheese ----
Yep 100% Grated but not 100% cheese (other ingredients besides pasteurized part-skim milk, cheese culture, Cellulose power to prevent caking, salt, enzymes, potassium sorbate to protect flavor.
Yum wood chips.
