I l know juicy has it moment but for sandwiches I'd like them, they inside section where the seeds are is smaller so the core is bigger, still juice must not as much.
For a sandwich that needs to wait a bit before eating I usually slice and pop on paper towel then on sanga less soggy then.
These ones arent' actually juiceless just less juicy

Good to know what their taxes are used for LOL


BRITISH police chiefs have come under fire for a 93-page guide telling officers how to ride their bikes, including how to brake and how to balance to avoid falling off.
The Police Cycle Training Doctrine also warns policemen not to try to tackle suspected criminals while still "engaged with the cycle" - on the bike - and gives a diagram on "deployment into a junction" - turning left or right.
The guide was produced by the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo), which insisted it had not been fully approved for publication after the document was reported in the Sun newspaper.
Other advice includes to wear padded shorts for "in-saddle comfort," while officers must always remember to "rear-scan" - look over their shoulders.
Undercover police are advised that they may have to cycle without a protective helmet to avoid being found out.
But, underlining the importance of sometimes-criticised health and safely laws, it warned: "This lack of protection must be noted and a full risk assessment of the required role ... be undertaken."
The Sun - which noted that the original US constitution ran to only four pages, and the Bible takes less than a page to recount God's creation of the universe - said the guide had cost thousands of pounds.
Critics said it was a waste of money.
"I am sure it is of great value... but I think you can do this kind of thing much, much more cheaply," said London mayor Boris Johnson, a keen cyclist who has sought to boost bike use since taking office last year.
"This is an absurd waste of police time and thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money," added Mark Wallace, head of the Taxpayers' Alliance lobby group which campaigns against misuse of public money.
But Dave Holladay of the National Cycling Organisation rejected the charge that the guide was too long, and defended its contents.
"I would quite expect a manual on police cycling to tell police officers how to turn corners correctly," he said, adding: "The advice of getting off the bike is actually included in most police bike training."
"Police cyclists have to be exemplars," he told the BBC.

IT'S one of the most unusual nature films you'll ever see - an octopus picking up a coconut shell then scurrying along the sea floor on its tentacles.
But the amazing footage is real, caught on camera in the waters off Indonesia.

Here's a funny one .....

A CHICAGO man could be unwrapping the hundreds of Christmas parcels spread around his apartment for days, even weeks.
Trouble is, they aren't really presents. They're his own belongings meticulously wrapped by friends as a prank while he was out of town.
Louie Saunders' packages contain everything from couch cushions to the beer in his refrigerator.
His friend Adal Rifai masterminded the scheme after Saunders gave him a spare key. It took 16 people, 35 rolls of wrapping paper and eight hours to finish the job.
Saunders tells the Chicago Sun-Times he's only been able to unwrap about 10 per cent of the packages.
He jokes that the upside is that, with each package he unwraps, he finds something inside that's just what he needs.

OMG Kathy that is too funny . When friends of ours went on their honeymoon we took all the labels off their canned goods and blew up hundreds of balloons and filled the bedroom with them by pushing them in through the window.....it was taken well by them....

hugs debbie
