Don’t you just hate when you come home with the bacon, open the package and discover that it’s 90% fat? The 10% meat was seen through the small, clear plastic window at the store, but the rest was ingeniously hidden by opaque packaging. Surreptitious use of the hand-held, easily maneuvered laparoscope
will eliminate the uncertainty of shopping.
A 5mm incision is made in the package, a sterile catheter is inserted, a puff of carbon dioxide inflates the package for better viewing, a mini, video camera with light source is introduced and, after control of the contents via an LCD on the back of the hand, the incision is sealed with a drop of fast-acting super glue. With practice, the routine becomes quite fast: cut-puff-view-seal, cut-puff-view-seal… Of course with time, you’ll discover many other uses such as checking the greenness of frozen peas or finding the right toy in the cereal boxes.

Sorry, I just don't trust you (or anyone else) to be clean enough to touch my food. |
|

what phoenix said and total lack of practicality. |
|
| |
[total lack of practicality] I'm proud to say that this would apply to all my halfbaked ideas. |
|
| |
Just buy your meat at the butchers'. |
|
| |
A croissant for this idea and its total lack of practicality. |
|
| |
Perhaps the laparoscope could come with a set of use-once sheathes to prevent you from contaminating any food. |
|
| |
Can you look at the deli counterman's appendix too if you want to? |
|
| |
As phoenix says, I don't trust most people to handle their OWN food, let alone mine... |
|
| |
Put whatever on your shoulder and burp it. If it sounds good, it probably is.
Your grocier's must be more tolerant of package tampering than mine. |
|
| |
the total lack of practicality thing ;-) |

1) well, it takes me less than 20 minutes to do my shopping for one month...doing this would increase my shopping time and who wants that? |
|
| |
2) can you imagine how crowded a grocery store would be if everyone were doing this? |
|
| |
3) Eventually, there are going to be packages with 50 holes in them....and who's gonna' buy that? |
|
| |
4) would *you* buy an orange or apple that bliss and 10 other people had put holes in? |
|
| |
If ya' don't like the bacon you bought, cook it, give it to the dogs as treats, and change brands. |
|
| |
How about just suggestion that all foods come in see-through packaging? A little more practical..... <grin> |
|
| |
//20 minutes to do my shopping for one month//
Half your luck; I take 20 minutes per *week*, and I buy meat, vegetables and wine online! |

Or that hermetically sealed carton of butter that's been held in cold storage for years 'till it looks (And tastes) like soap. Super market eggs , spare ribs,and bacon are also stored in cold storage facilitys.for eternity, them dumped to the consumers when demand exceeds the available supply.(Marked down) |
