Surviving University One Value Product at a Time
The eminent Times of London enlisted a college student in an experiment to see if he could live for a week only buying Tesco Value products. The results proved hilarious:
If I have breakfast at all it tends to be soggy cereal shovelled down my throat from a mug as I walk to a lecture, or possibly an under-toasted slice of bread with some cut-price jam slapped on it. Having said that, Tesco Value cornflakes taste disgusting with or without milk. I do not encourage anyone to eat them, although I’m sure they’d make very cheap confetti. Their version of Coco Pops is to be recommended however, as it has two crucial points in its favour: it contains sugar, and is packaged in a plastic bag, allowing for easy access as you place fistfuls of the stuff in your mouth.
Tesco Value offers two varieties of soup. Both are bad in my opinion. The soup in sachet form results in a slightly chalky concoction that leaves an unpleasant scum on the bottom of your bowl. This particular scum is oh-so-difficult to remove when it comes to washing up - using Tesco Value washing liquid.
