It can be, but you'd have a hard time proving that it wasn't a natural product.

E100 Curcumin Orange-yellow colour; derived from the root of the curcuma plant, but can be artificially produced

E621 Monosodium L-glutamate (MSG) Sodium salt from glutamic acid (E620), a natural amino acid (building block of protein). Commercially prepared from molasses by bacterial fermentation.

That's how they get around it. ''no added msg''......they didn't add any in it, but the company they source their products from did. Another example is ''herbs and spices'' or ''onion/celery powder''...that stuff is packed with flavour enhancers. I also love the title ''100% fresh''...I can take a dump in the backyard and call it fresh.

Why is it when i am driving a speed limited 100km/hr vehicle and ******* wish to drive at 90 yet speed up to 110+ after you change lanes ???

You see guys lower their cars so much the suspension crashes into the bump stops or shocks bottom out or they cut the bump springs and then the suspension arms foul on the frame or ball joints fall out.

If you are confident in your work just get it engineered.

BTW, my car is illegally modified but I'm prepared to wear it if I get defected.

Yes, I've seen people whinge loudly when they've had it pointed out that the "lowest fixed point" under the car is actually below the level of their rims. They honestly can't see what the problem is...

Hint: "flat tyre"...

Interesting as this comes back to another of mine:

How come if a Bee makes Honey from pollen is it deemed "natural", but if a human makes things it is "artificial" ?

[Tonz]

If you can make something useful from pollen, I'll call it natural.

[Spurious]

Why is it we park on a driveway & drive on a parkway?

& do we need a reason to drive across a "causeway"?

[Lunch]

Why is it theyre called 'apartments' when theyre all together?

[Spurious]

Why is it...

the older your rental house gets, the higher the rent gets?

[EgoFG]

Um ... Why do we put Cargo on a Ship, but a Shipment can go by car.

[Tonz]

why is it stupid polies always have to have their nose in the trough after natural disasters.
CFS guys doing fantastic job around Adelaide, Wetherill comes f**t ar***g around and 'can you stop that while we have photos with you" They guys are putting out a bloody fire d**khead, same goes for Abbott FFS if I was there they bloody hose would either trip the idiots or blast the windows off their cars.

[The Yeti]

Why is it you can have a long conversation with your better half and decide quite amicably and with out any sort of fuss on the purchase of an item, but when there's a problem, she always wanted the other one we looked at

[nuthin' fancy]

Why is it that the supermarkets now have different shaped shopping trolleys so that where W*****rths and C*l*s (I sensor them like swearing) are in the same complex, the trolleys don't nest into each other so the trolleys back out into the driveways and the supermarkets don't clear the trolleys as often as they used to.

Damned supermarkets, merchants of evil.

[Morexbs]

I live in an L shaped court and why is it that when a car gets to the bend,the driver feels the need to indicate?Even people who live in the court do it.You can't go any in any other direction!

[damo76]

Why is it.... When you try and sell a 32 year old car people seem to think the thing should be in brand new condition.
Why is it... When the drop kick tyre-kickers come have a look at your 32 year old car they spend an hour looking at every detail, keep smacking the drivers door on the bricks and almost rip the transfer case out because the dumb ***ts cant get it in low on concrete.
Sigh... No wonder i get grumpy and want to crack skulls.
PS.. If you want a car with nothing wrong with it go buy a fu**in new car.

[LG17]

Why is it every time you try to sell something for a reasonable price lowballers harass you incessantly. I've advertised a 2yo tractor and implements for a very reasonable price yet 2 people insist on texting me every second day after their lowball offers. Luckily I'm a polite fellow - "No thanks" is all I say...

Yes stupid texts no one phones anymore, if you have questions phone not send 20 stupid texts.

That someone bothered to do this:

[Franco Cozzo]

Thats like those dodgy older Mercedes Sprinter cab chassis bus conversions you see getting around on Tullamarine Freeway heading toward the Airport every now and again.

[WHYME]

Why is it Holdens get spanked by Fords?

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is flavour enhancer E621 (E621 being its food additive code) and flavour enhancer E635 is Disodium Ribonucleotides.

The package is correct, it has no added MSG.

Though that doesn’t change the fact it still tastes like crap.

[Yellow_Festiva]

Why is it that the word flammable and inflammable mean exactly the same thing!?!?

[Lunch]

That when you've been hanging out for some maccas and you've hit the drive thru, you can put your house on it that they'll forget the 1 item you've wanted the most and you dont realize until you get home..

I consciously look for this behaviour if I'm heading to Launceston from Ulverstone or further, about 120klm drive.

My trick then is to drop back a short distance so I appear "not to be a threat", & when I know there's an overtaking opportunity coming in the next few k's, I'll bide my time....gradually get closer again... & then POUNCE!!!

The problem that my actions create though is that then I become "their challenge". Often they'll catch me again in 10 to 15 k's, tailgate me & pass me again. At some point you just have to be the bigger man & let them go.
Chances are there's someone following them too just waiting for a chance to show the world that THEY can get in the lead. LOL...let'em go.

I try not to be competitive, I really do try, but if you subconsciously lay down that type of challenge, or you're are simply not paying attention to what you're doing, then I might as well open up 6000rpm of 4.0L fuel injected grunt & leave you in my wake sucking cat' fumes!!!

Why is it I do this....'CAUSE IT'S DAMN FUN!!!

SCS was referred to earlier in the thread.

The above problem I call Overtaking syndromre
Yes I have often blasted the said syndrome affected person after their first 'speeding up' infraction in an overtaking lane situation.

Best part of the V8 is I don't drop back to get a run up.

Worst part is the cops sit in these spots as they have already identified Overtaking Syndrome as a great source of revenue from a predictable location.

Why is it that my Australian designed and made Falcon has the American message "Headlamps on" when I switch off the ignition but leave the headlights on?

That. Is. AWESOME.
I'd actually rather have that than a modern style-less, cookie-cutter, everyone-has-one, camper van...and as long as it's the six cylinder version it should go OK.

[Tassie f100]

I don,t think there was ever a 6cylinder Austin 1800 made.

Tasman "X6"...I think it looked a little different to that one in the front end though. Squarer headlights I believe.

[Tassie f100]

Yeah there was a Kimberley and a cheaper poverty pack Tasman.The Kimberley had twin rectangular headlights whereas the Tasman had single rec. headlights.
