well I think it's great that it had natural flavors, LOL. Haven't you ever had something chocolate only to find out that the flavor was artificial? I think it's probably not easy to come up with a halfway decent pecan flavor without using pecans.
On a side note, I do product retrievals from time to time. I once had to handle a recall on these Snickers cookie candy bar packs because when they were packaged they failed to put in the ingredient list that the product contained nuts. Now, just about everyone knows that Snickers contains nuts, but because it wasn't listed, they had to recall millions of these things from across the U.S.

I saw a similar instance where a soy based lip balm product was being recalled because even though soybean was an ingredient, they did not put an allergy warning on it saying it contained soy. Apparently some girl was burned/had facial swelling after realizing soybeans came from soy and she had slathered her lip balm all over her mouth. I know having allergies is tough, but c'mon.
Example: Special K strawberry whey protein bars... you have to read the tiny 6 point font to realize that it's cranberries in there. It stinks if you're allergic to cranberries.
But I'm still shocked that they put pecans in the pecans
I wonder if it's a special machine that makes that magic happen.

Tee hee.
Oh, not food related, but interesting on basic things that people sometimes don't know: I did a shop at a greenhouse/garden center and had to make a pre-visit phone call and ask a knowledge question. It was September and I knew that the location had mums (short for chrysanthemums). I called and asked the garden center employee what colors of chrysanthemums they carried. He said that they did not carry chrysanthemums! I went there awhile later and they had a bunch of them in a nice variety of colors on display right outside on the sidewalk, LOL.

I've been guilty of my fair share of b&b moments (blind & blonde). But on occasion, someone does or says something that floors me. A girl who used to work for me got her phone out to take pictures of the "brown eggs" we got in... she wanted to show her mom because she had never seen a brown egg before and wanted to know if it was still chickens that laid them. Another girl at work asked if chickens, umm, mated because they laid eggs and chicks came from eggs not from a daddy rooster.
Oh, while sitting in night biology 102 a few years ago, a girl asked if HIV was a virus or a bacteria while we were categorizing and talking about treatments of the two. She was dead serious. Another girl asked the professor what a blight was. How did you people get through 101?
Tutoring math 90 (basically a refresh of 7th & 8th grade), a student knew that 3x7 was 21 but could not tell me what 7x3 was.

Several years ago, before I moved, a local high school track coach started a Thursday night running group. There was a track club but what he did was make a weekly training group that ran the same drills his cross country teams did. It was geared for mostly people in the 40s-60s but there were a few younger people too. One of the guys in this group was almost literally Forrest Gump. So 5 of us in this group decided to also train for a marathon together. We were doing our long runs on Saturday morning and sometimes other people from our Thursday night group would join. So one Saturday morning we were planning on an 18 mile run. We had ran a 6 mile run from the place we met at and so the 5 of us who were actually training for the marathon decided we wanted to run that loop 3 times because that would be good water break training for the marathon. So this guy had come to run with us and starts complaining because he thought we were going to run 18 miles. We tried. For 10 minutes. We never could make him understand that 3 6 mile loops would be 18 miles. He ended up running a different route by himself.

I think I wrote somewhere in a thread about the cashier who told another associate that she wanted to join the military so she could be a vet when she got out because she loved working with animals (WFT?).
Oh, here's a good one: not too long ago I was doing a merchandising gig where we were resetting the frozen vegetables. There was a young woman about 22 or so who asked another merchandiser (a guy) how to pronounce the word on the bag (soybean pods, edamame). He smirked and told her it was enema. She said, "Oh," and continued to work. Several others were laughing and she said, "What?" I said solemnly, "It's not enema, hun. It's pronounced edamame." She said, "Why are they laughing?" I asked, "Don't you know what an enema is?" She said, No." The one guy who had told her it was enema had walked away from the department for a minute (the HBC department was nearby), and he returned with a box of Fleet that had a drawing of how to use the product on the side of the box. Her eyes got wide and she turned beet red and didn't talk for the rest of the afternoon. I felt so bad for her, but it was kinda funny.

By law, manufacturers have to list all of the ingredients on a label. They were right to do the recall.

Back in June, the subway line that I take had month long maintenance. It was on the news and various radio stations, on their website, employees were handing out fliers, there were billboards and other ads.
The first day on the shuttle, the lady sitting next to me said, "When were they going to tell us about this!"
Really?

A friend had teenage twin daughters. She took them to the National Zoo. Looking at the on-site map of the zoo one daughter pointed to the place on the map where it said, "You are here." She asked, "How do they know?" My friend said it was then she realized that this particular twin was probably not "college bound."

Is that the Southern Bourbon Pecan flavored ice cream? I got that one and all I could taste was Bourbon! I was so very sad :-(

OP called it 'Southern Butter Pecan' and you call it 'Southern Bourbon Pecan' and I have never heard of this ice cream before. Tell me more...
Nah, this one said "Southern" on it. It's a Kroger brand -- Private Selection. Bummer the bourbon ice cream wasn't good. The owner of our building makes ahmazing no-bake bourbon balls that are like candy or cake pops. A few of them will start to warm your cheeks. He's a connoisseur of... can I put alcohol in that? He's a second generation Italian-American and loves food+booze.

The one I tried was a Private Selection brand, it still sits in my freezer uneaten. I just checked the name is "Bourbon Butter Pecan". I normally like the cakes and sauces with a little bourbon flavor. This ice cream was not at all what I was expecting. Very disappointing.
I worked somewhere that they sent a young man to get some plastic tubing for an aquarium air line. They told him to ask for Fallopian Tubes.
He did.
I've heard they have stopped teaching basic anatomy in school. This reinforces why they should.
