By the way of logic, you’ve just failed at failing….which means that if there had been a subset of Fail and a subset of Non-fail into you, the fail at failing would (a) either be placed on the Subset of Fail, but from the statements of it also in the other subset, while if it was placed on (b) Subset of Non-Fail, it would also by statements be on the Subset of Fail.
Actually, the logic, although interesting is flawed:
There is Fail, and non-Fail. The result of Failing(x) falls into the first category. Failing(Fail) thus also goes there as well.
Now, failing at failing might look as a win, but it’s not; It’s a fail. Meta-fail if you prefer.
Just as “thinking about thinking” doesn’t mean you’re not thinking at all.
Anybody seen my medication? I know everything seems so fine and good
ever since I stopped taking them, but still...
In the foundations of mathematics, Russell’s paradox (also known as Russell’s antinomy), discovered by Bertrand Russell in 1901, showed that the naive set theory of Richard Dedekind and Frege leads to a contradiction. The very same paradox had been discovered a year before by Ernst Zermelo but he did not publish the idea, which remained known only to Hilbert, Husserl and other members of the University of Göttingen.
It might be assumed that, for any formal criterion, a set exists whose members are those objects (and only those objects) that satisfy the criterion; but this assumption is disproved by a set containing exactly the sets that are not members of themselves. If such a set qualifies as a member of itself, it would contradict its own definition as a set containing sets that are not members of themselves. On the other hand, if such a set is not a member of itself, it would qualify as a member of itself by the same definition. This contradiction is Russell’s paradox.
In 1908, two ways of avoiding the paradox were proposed, Russell’s type theory and the Zermelo set theory, the first constructed axiomatic set theory. Zermelo’s axioms went well beyond Frege’s axioms of extensionality and unlimited set abstraction, and evolved into the now-canonical Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory (ZF). As you can see if the a(fail) and b(another fail) werer put together this wpuld mean that you would be failing at faling this would mean that technically speaking you would have entered the as i like to call it the “limbo” zone which means it is neither faill or win but notihingness this example may help you
cos2x – sinx = (1/2) for [0,2pi).
understand now guys? its pretty easy you know
Same and I was thinking it was a win for that fact except of course there are no TIT in these tosTITos. And notice the nipples. Never forget the nipples b/c they matter too and exist very pronounced in this little ditty.
From my retail experience, the real fail is the manager who told him to just put it back and block it to the front, because then someone will have to buy it.
I imagine it was a matter of setting the case down, opening the plastic, and walking away. The stock person must have never looked. I hope. Damn, if they noticed and still walked away … fail?
And I know I’ve gotten cans of coke from 12 packs that were empty too
Why do you have to buy it if it’s in the front? I pick things up and exchange it for the one in behind it all the time, if the bag or package in front is in some way undesirable.
Did he want something specific, or was he thinking to buy them for you? My father used to buy my mother household appliances for holidays. Irons, vacuums, things like that. Now he buys his second wife jewelry. He learned.
A nail gun, he is determined to buy one, in case of zombie invasion.
(no I really mean that, it is the reason he keeps giving me and it is the reason we own a masonry drill )
really k@ the custard fairy on top of the tree & IgnoreButton™, you have a clause in your rental contract that forbids the use of power tools in your rental house?
Rooster is actually pretty good about making sure the packages are intact and full. It’s what he gets that disturbs me. Left on his own, he’d eat nothing but “oven pizza”, burgers, and haggis. Yes, haggis. *shudders*
I’ve only managed to find three things that I make, that he likes. And they all involved meat or chicken.
k@ the custard fairy on top of the tree & IgnoreButton™ says:
Hmmm, I’m male, dislike most forms of shopping (except in good bookshops when they exist), and practically never take the first item on the shelf. Indiscriminacy fail?
3G internet in heavy traffic. *sigh* The internet access out where I am is sssssllllloooooowwwwww. And that is exacerbated by the super slow computer I’m using too!
*wishes for an iPhone*
*draws map*
Right, so, you go forward with the first sentence. Then turn left, then then pass through the second one, and after you reach it’s end, you’ll find an unmarked “flawlessly”
r u seriously that stupid? its just transporting the chips, no one is going to think thats a fail, what idiot would take that picture. Its all made by the same company anyways
I think Umm is replying to the comment saying that the real fail is the guy who buys them.
I guess I’d be a fail-person, then, because I’d buy them for the joke value!
Trust me, only a guy would be dumb/oblivious enough to buy this bag. Women always check experation dates and how many of the chips might be broken before buying. Men just dump whatever they can find in the cart.
Only way this would get sold to a woman is if she was blind. And then someone in the store would say “Oh, let me get you a different bag.”
No need to be so PC. Men accept their failures to notice things. And women should embrace mens’ intellegence to notice said failures.
Its okay all these people on the internets care deeply for us and so they will crown us with their sympathy. I might dance for them I am a good dancer in fact here is a video of me dancing:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmmbnpaJqdI
I am the one in blue.
relax, nickolas, it’s just another name for the same p0rn spammer… it wants you to look at the video… but no real harm unless you pay it or reveal your personal info to it.
2 fails:
The bags are in order of the number of crisps going from the right the smallest and onwards.
What if the shop DOES NOT sell tostitos salsa? (Look at the bottom of the bag)
Actually… the guy who buys them is gonna get paid. cuz you can sue the shit out of Frito Lay for selling stuff under the advertised weight. I lurned gud stuf in skool =P
I notice that this was posted long ago . . . Just two weeks ago (mid-May, 2010) I spotted a similarly-scant bag of Tostitos in Wal-Mart. Yu’d think the manufacturer would have solved the problem in half a year.
am i FIRST?
As I said, under 18, and impressed by the idea of saying that, *sigh, oh for some originality.
Am I FIRST?
*spanks Jon*
It is for your own good young man.
youre the first retard
Classic Retard: The original series, S01E01(pilot) episode: First.
It pisses me off that no one ever says LOL to original post or to the hilarious comments
better pissed off than pissed on, J.
I prefer no piss at all thank you.
the real fail is the guy who keeps yelling “first”
are u the first retard ??
Answer : YESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nouvelle Cuisine?
Another case of less is more!

Damn it

Congrats, you’ve entered the Russell Paradox.
So it’s a win right?
@sam, you are the PhD
you don’t need the @sam, it’s a reply.
(sorry, it bugs me)
boars with bugs… whodathunkit?
@treeboar, you should let small things like that affect you
@treeboar, your face is made of woodle.

understand now guys? its pretty easy you know
Enough with this confusing nonsense!
what are you on i want some
i just smoke some some LEGAL herbs there not as great as the actual stuff but it still pretty good.
It’s the lite version.
Very Light, If that bag had helium in it it would take off!
Those chips are made out of He(4-2)+ CS-2, so flying might be possible…
…… Hold on, that may bring a tear to your eye!
i wonder what would people who see it find more unusual: the fact that it’s floating or that it’s half empty…
Is it half empty? Maybe it’s half full?
Its a third full and two thirds empty.
… now it’s empty. <3
*hides empty bag*
They’re chips; it’d be unusual to find a bag *less* than half empty. This one’s more like 3/4.
how comes no one has bought it yet? o_O
I REEEAAALLY don’t know……..
I never before realized how pronounced the word tit is in tosTITos.
That is my early morning checklist
Why toes?
….check I can still reach them, and my back hasn’t died on me. (I thought it would be obvious!)
Same and I was thinking it was a win for that fact except of course there are no TIT in these tosTITos. And notice the nipples. Never forget the nipples b/c they matter too and exist very pronounced in this little ditty.
diet version?
Rip-off version. ;-;
Looks more like a quantity control fail.
Not to mention a fail on the guy who put it on the display in the first place!
Yup I think the guy that put it out is the real fail unless he just did to take the picture.
From my retail experience, the real fail is the manager who told him to just put it back and block it to the front, because then someone will have to buy it.
I imagine it was a matter of setting the case down, opening the plastic, and walking away. The stock person must have never looked. I hope. Damn, if they noticed and still walked away … fail?
And I know I’ve gotten cans of coke from 12 packs that were empty too
Why do you have to buy it if it’s in the front? I pick things up and exchange it for the one in behind it all the time, if the bag or package in front is in some way undesirable.
It is a sad fact, that is a more female trait, more men just pick up what is at the front, and chuck it in the cart without paying attention.
They don’t do that with electronics or vehicles, why not do the same thing with food?
How many men do you know that enjoy grocery shopping?
compare that to the ratio of those that enjoy, gadgets, cars and power tools.
I actually had to ban the discussion of power tools and garden sheds over Xmas dinner this year….
Did he want something specific, or was he thinking to buy them for you? My father used to buy my mother household appliances for holidays. Irons, vacuums, things like that. Now he buys his second wife jewelry. He learned.
A nail gun, he is determined to buy one, in case of zombie invasion.
)
(no I really mean that, it is the reason he keeps giving me and it is the reason we own a masonry drill
Maybe he wants to build you something nice?
Like a zombie-proof bomb shelter!
*snork*
I wish…..he is a tad useless with them!
Plus we rent our house, so we aren’t allowed to use any of them!
really k@ the custard fairy on top of the tree & IgnoreButton™, you have a clause in your rental contract that forbids the use of power tools in your rental house?
Good point.
I’m pretty sure they enjoy eating though.
Of course, having seen what passes for food at Roosters place, you point makes even more sense.
Eating, now that bypasses food shopping altogether doesn’t it?
(at least I am 100% sure that is what my husband believes!)
I’m fairly convinced the two (eating and food shopping) are mutually exclusive in their minds. Having absolutely nothing to do with each other.
*nods sadly*
But thank goodness for the exceptions!
Funny, my wife and I were exact opposites from the usual in this regard.
Rooster is actually pretty good about making sure the packages are intact and full. It’s what he gets that disturbs me. Left on his own, he’d eat nothing but “oven pizza”, burgers, and haggis. Yes, haggis. *shudders*
I’ve only managed to find three things that I make, that he likes. And they all involved meat or chicken.
Mr X would be happy with part of a seared cow, and some fries!
Hmmm, I’m male, dislike most forms of shopping (except in good bookshops when they exist), and practically never take the first item on the shelf. Indiscriminacy fail?
I enjoy grocery shopping, I amble about for ages. Then buy the wrong thing anway because I’m in cloud cuckoo land.
I am a male and I like grocery shopping at the farmers market… although I’d much prefer to grow the food myself whenever possible. Also, I hate cars.
Stereotype much?
Some men like to grab stuff from the rear. You can’t generalize like that.
You don’t, but to a linear-thinking male manager this would make sense.
Not kidding, I really was told almost exactly that once when asking about a half-full package of food.
I move the chip bags around all the time…I’m a chronic “squeezer” to see how full the bag really is.
maybe the content as settled
Maybe the duck as pretty
Just stick a “Diet version” sticker on it, sell it to a fatty, and you’ve got yourself a win. ^_^
It’s a bag of chips for the invisible man.
double fail:
the name sounds like testicles as well as the unequal amount in each bag
What, no rat???
not that great..
“Variations of the filling level are due to terms of conveyance.”
Yeah, right.
31st!
Wow.. I REALLY need more sleep. It took me like a while minute to realize what the fail was exactly. lol.
‘Tis a subtle fail!
Morning k@. I’m discovering the joys of 3G Internet in heavy traffic. And I hardly noticed the fail either
Hey Jon, didya have a good Xmas?
Yeah, it was good, despite the obvious onslaughts of relatives and noise and headaches
3G internet in heavy traffic. *sigh* The internet access out where I am is sssssllllloooooowwwwww. And that is exacerbated by the super slow computer I’m using too!
*wishes for an iPhone*
*squeeze* Hopes that makes you feel better. Here I brought some chips.
Oh and if you seen any of my relatives say hi to them.
You have relatives in Northern New Mexico?
*squeeze*
Hey! Why is there only half a bag here!?
Those slow connections often cause incomplete downloads …
It took me 15 secs
i dont even understand it at all ;(xoxo
oh i get it now haha
x
Same amount of calories but half the bag.
Evan less value for price
An ecological package
A rip-off
Who cares if it’s half-empty or half-full?! It’s DELICIOUS!
The Chips are a lie.
You don’t know if the chips are lieing, you need to interrogate them first!
DON’T JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS!
*BANG
*crunch crunchcrunchcrunch
mmmmfesssliin
A friend used a closing elevator door to “bang” a bag of chips once… Surprisingly, it worked.
Surprisingly?
I’m hungry today. I ate “flawlessly”
Can you draw me a map cuz im lost?
*draws map*
Right, so, you go forward with the first sentence. Then turn left, then then pass through the second one, and after you reach it’s end, you’ll find an unmarked “flawlessly”
Ok but it is obviouly going to work because there is air in the packet of chips and the elevator’s door is surprisingly not that strong.
But in order to work flawlessly, it has to NOT make a mess.
So you use one without chips in.
Did he… buy?
HALF as delicious then the bag to the left of it.
“Than” the bag to the left of it.
Sorry, that one was bugging me.
Actually, it should be “as”. Using “than” in this kind of construction is common, but not grammatical.
True, true. I should have seen that.
Some settling of contents may have occurred during shipping and handling.
The bag is half full.
Good morning all. I hope everyone had a good Christmas.
Good morning.
*squeeze*
Have you seen sts lateley?
Stupid email adress!
Smart e-mail is hard to find these days…
It sucks.
BUY THEM! THEYRE SO INVISIBLE THEY EVEN TASTE LIKE NOTHING!
*Slaps manager with a rubber chicken*
r u seriously that stupid? its just transporting the chips, no one is going to think thats a fail, what idiot would take that picture. Its all made by the same company anyways
It looks like a fail so it IS a fail.
you fail at failblog
You do see that the bag on the far right is half as full as the other bags, right? And they all appear to be sealed.
And the fail has nothing to do with what is printed on the cardboard pallet.
The bag on the right should cost more, as it will not kill you as quickly as the others.
*buys pack on the left*
Don’t forget the cigarettes.
or GIRL who buys them. Or PERSON
???
I think Umm is replying to the comment saying that the real fail is the guy who buys them.
I guess I’d be a fail-person, then, because I’d buy them for the joke value!

No need to be so PC. Men accept their failures to notice things. And women should embrace mens’ intellegence to notice said failures.
yeah but the men will have a beer or 4 in their hands to make up for the shortcomings of what’s in the bag.
so to speak.
@Jami.
Wow, aren’t we sexist.
Assume = ass-u-me, my friend.
Not all of us are that paranoid to check the expiration date. Never have in my life.
Well you may want to consider it for a moment of the time very much you want it for a week unless of course.
i dont get it
forget it, i figured it out, :L haha im a retard
Don’t feel bad, I looked at the sign and the writing on the package for a good while before I saw the bag-of-mostly-air.
(Of course, I didn’t comment until I figured it out… .)
I’m reporting you to the grammar fail blog!
“The real fail is the guy WHO buys them”
I’m reporting you!
If you want to be formal, do not use conjuctions.
“I AM”.
Sorry, I just had to.
The price better be 66.6% off. That bag is only 1/3 full. And also, it’s a QUANITY fail, not quality.
The optimist says that it is 1/3 full; the pessimist that it is 2/3 empty.
INVISIBLE CHIPS!
OM NOM NOM!!
Sold by weight, and not by volume.
The one on the right is the most restaurant style of all. Same price as normal stuff, but you get less, just like a restaurant.
It’s not a fail. Didn’t you hear? It’s just a bag of the new batches. Yup, they downsized again.
FAILBLOG FAIL….. this wasn’t funny.
This seriously took me about 2 minutes of staring intently at the picture to find the fail.
Fail.
I love Nick Wilson. He is as attractive as Vladmir Putin. This is the truth. GOOOOOOOOOOOOO BBBBBBAYSIDEEEEE!
is putin raising his head so that you can see him from your house?
I am deeply in love with Molly-Rose Plunkett….please merry me
No Nick Wilson no matter how much I love you, I can not. You are just too attractive for me.
Thank-you for considering the humiliation I may face.
Its okay all these people on the internets care deeply for us and so they will crown us with their sympathy. I might dance for them I am a good dancer in fact here is a video of me dancing:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmmbnpaJqdI
I am the one in blue.
Molly-Rose, you shouldn’t post videos of yourself on the world wide web
relax, nickolas, it’s just another name for the same p0rn spammer… it wants you to look at the video… but no real harm unless you pay it or reveal your personal info to it.
More like 33% White Corn, 67% O2.
ah, yes. New tostitos now TWICE the mass of the old style. Same flavor, same weight, half the quantity. It’s a physics connundrum in your mouth.
Fun fact: The other two bags only have a few more chips than the gimpy one.
Um… arent Lays, Fritos, Doritos, and tostitos all Frito Lay chips? SO, this isnt a fail. FAIL FAIL.
That bag is diet only. No fail
2 fails:
The bags are in order of the number of crisps going from the right the smallest and onwards.
What if the shop DOES NOT sell tostitos salsa? (Look at the bottom of the bag)
Took me a while to notice that.
a guy wouldn’t buy those!! a woman on the other hand…
lol.
Recession!
IT’S RATIONING!
I say buy them, then sue Frito Lay.
the real fail is that you should say “who” not “that” when referring to a person
Actually… the guy who buys them is gonna get paid. cuz you can sue the shit out of Frito Lay for selling stuff under the advertised weight. I lurned gud stuf in skool =P
the real fail is the guy who stocked it….. WHO STOCKS THAT!?!?!?
Some kid making minimum wage who doesn’t care.
it wouldve been funnier if it said like “NOW 30% MORE!!!” or something
I notice that this was posted long ago . . . Just two weeks ago (mid-May, 2010) I spotted a similarly-scant bag of Tostitos in Wal-Mart. Yu’d think the manufacturer would have solved the problem in half a year.
Reduced calorie version.
For morons.
wow i wonder if the fatty in the company who ate them or the manger who was caught on tape eating the sh*t out of them when no one was looking
Or second
bando de gringo viado
gringos viados
If you notice, there also under the lays section (bottom center)
