Random sighting at the grocery store

Wednesday, 18 June 2008 21:29 by sara

While searching for honey (who knew it had become so expensive?!) at the grocery store tonight, I was surprised to come across this:

Really? Do you see the teeny-tiny print that warns this is "imitation" honey? It's hard to read it in person, too. I can't begin to tell you how creepy this stuff sounds. There is almost nothing natural about it, and deciphering the chemicals on the label was impossible. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out who would buy imitation honey.

So, I googled it. 

Apparently diabetics and low-carb folks eat this stuff. Now, if someone told me I had to restrict my honey consumption for medical and/or dietary reasons, I don't think I'd feel it necessary to search out an alternative (and the odds of me buying sugar free imitation honey are just not great). Because, really, it's just honey.

Sure, it tastes great on a biscuit, but so does jelly. 

Incidentally, my google search also found that the sale of imitation honey is not permitted in some states. Because, really, imitation honey is just artificial sweetners in liquid form.

Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it's nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.

Great post! I am just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case.

Hey - nice blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I'm currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information. I am very glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.This made very glad Smile

I completely agree with the above comment, the internet is with a doubt growing into the most important medium of communication across the globe and its due to sites like this that ideas are spreading so quickly.
