Um, no.
Worse yet is directions on food packages that warn "Heat before use - caution, product will be hot." On food packages!
Seriously, don't do that. Food is for eating, not for using. People who refer to food as a product (and who try to tell consumers how to use that food-product) have spent too much time in the marketing bubble. Lingo like that simply doesn't belong in the conversation between seller and buyer.
Anyway, a package of cream cheese caught my eye the other day.
Do I really care what consumers prefer? Isn't there another word for consumer, a word that's maybe a bit more human? Like, maybe people?

I'm reading this as I consume a cup of fresh-brewed coffee product.
mmmm.... product....
Dan,
You obviously won't do well when the robots take over and rename you "unit 10010101101"
I, on the other hand, will adapt quite nicely. I just used a food-product this morning, and it was excellent!

I agree, why would I care what other eaters of said food product prefer.
Other buyers instead of consumers perhaps.
All this talk of product is stimulating my gastronomic response centers. I think it is time to head down to the nutrition processing center to grab a quick food unit for ingestion.
(funny side note... my captcha for this comment is "efing". So I have to enter an "efing" captcha just to prove I am not a bot!) :)
Yes, when the robots take over, I'm totally screwed. :)
Dan -- Remember, you are what you eat . . . and vice-versa. So, have another helping of Soylent Green. Mmm, that's some product!
