102 - 1 Very Yellow Melon
You've got to admit, that's quite specific. "1 Very Yellow Melon". I like that. There's other such specifics on the rest of the list ("1 Orginal Flora Margarine" stands out for some reason) but I'm probably a bigger fan of the fact the shopper has written the date on the top: 16 June. I didn't find the list until the 22nd. It shows just how often people clean out trolleys at Tesco, doesn't it?
Side 2 gets more interesting - it features the original draft of 1 Very Yellow Melon. All our favourites are there in one form or another, but there are a number of items that didn't make the final release. "1 Tesco ginger Biscuits" was lost to the cutting room floor, along with "6 grapefruit" which were lost in favour of a single "1 grapefruit" in the theatrical release. It's rare that you see a director's cut of a shopping list, and so this one should be treated with special reverance.
