Asda Rhubarb in light syrup, 540g - RESULT NOW IN

Post by RalphCoatesComb » Mon Jan 11, 2021 7:17 pm

Tomorrow's game should have happened months ago and, probably, is a more difficult game in January than it would have been in September. A tough game but, remember Old Trafford almost 12 months ago!

You are invited to estimate the number of pieces in my tin of Asda Rhubarb in light syrup, 540g. These sour fruits count towards your 5-a-day but I'm not sure whether being "light syrup" is of any relevance.

You have until 19.15 tomorrow, Tuesday 12 January 2021 to get your estimates in. Please check that your estimates have not been submitted already before submitting yours.

Usual Tinned Food Count Rules apply.

Come on down !

Hot of the Press...

4th Round Draw Fulham v BURNLEY

That is a very good question. I'm guessing that it will not contain just one stick of rhubarb. If it of any assistance, you can have a full refund if you are not 100% happy with the purchase. They are Best before the end of June 2022.

And... 5th Round Draw BURNLEY v Bournemouth or Crawley

By the way, your estimate of rhubarb is the same as bfcjg

Apparently, and I speak as a non-gardener or chef, in 1947 a New York court declared rhubarb a fruit because it's most often cooked as one in the United States.

Rhubarb is perennial - has stalks. It's a vegetable. It's been wrongly classified as a fruit for years, but it isn't.

Spot has contacted his cousin in Philadelphia to get a definitive ruling from the other side of the Pond. The reply was unrepeatable and Spot says he doesn't ******* care either ;)

Oh FFS. I eve did a search for 34 and couldn't see it.

I'll have to give up if 35 isn't taken?

Seriously, do some tiny beans or something endt time. There's clearly only a very finite number of rhuberbs in a can... Probably not enough to cover everyone on here.


You know what I'm gonna go completely the other direction,

I'm gonna go 9 and the same Jews!

Edit:

Sorry for the spelling mistakes. I'd correct them if I weren't on my phone!

I live in south Leeds and only a few miles from the triangle. There's a pub that they've called after it.

You should get yourself over in the summer, and we'll have a few pints on me.
