Trolleys 753 and 754

Once again, the (Friday) morning circuit drew a blank but the the afternoon circuit saw some action. The first capture being a small Marks & Spencer trolley at the top of the Kokoro Passage, returned to the food hall.

Followed by a B&M trolley in the middle of said passage. Not quite as many of these as M&S trolleys, but certainly more than Waitrose. Maybe B&M customers are less likely to shop from cars and so more likely to use the train or the bus?

Visible top left in the previous snap. Together with a half empty tin of something or other.

A presumably empty Crystal Bar Blue Razz Lemonade, at least 600 puffs when new, made in China. Google Images had no trouble confirming this. What struck me was the amount of design effort which had been poured into this object, effort which was presumably matched by the advertising spend.

2% nicotine, whatever that might amount to.  So how does 600 puffs at one of these relate to, say, a packet of 20 Players - a popular puff when I was young. Relatively dear, as I recall. Maybe this empty packet counts as a heritage item now and is also relatively dear. Lot No.113? Answer no: 'Photographed in the collection of the National Liberation Museum 1944-1945, the Netherlands, archive number G113'.

Google Images also had no trouble at identifying the tin as C4 Cosmic Rainbow, £2 from Morrisons, 'packed with betapower and caffeine to fuel your performance all day'. 

For betapower see reference 2, from where the snap above it taken. The sort of thing that people who frequent Crossfit are into?
