I didn't get the clues pointing that it's a package and mistakenly thought it was a cooking recipe web page. Many sites feel obliged to precede the recipe with a personal story on the food, which distracts from what the reader wants -- the recipe itself. I'd been a good comic as well if it was a pun on that. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.94.50|172.68.94.50]] 03:44, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

32841 is not a valid zip code. I'm also dubious that the town/city name is Orlando. Sure, it probably does start with an O (and not a cursive A, since the street name has a capital A to show the way the letter should look), but it certainly doesn't continue on long enough to be Orlando, especially with no ascending stroke for the 'd' and not appearing to end with a round shape for a letter like 'o'. It appears to me to be more of an n/m/r final letter. 162.158.75.14 23:19, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Ah, that's what I get for just punching "32841 zip code" into Google and seeing Orlando FL come up. The closest-looking valid zip code I can find that's still in Orlando is 32891; fixed the transcript. The end of the word Orlando just seems intended to be generic squiggles not actually matching any letters, like almost everything after the Ingredients label. If you can find another town/city in FL that starts with O and has a similar-looking enough zip code, go for it. Zowayix (talk) 23:59, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
All zip codes that begin 328 are in Orlando. 32841 specifically is not in use. Silverpie (talk) 02:12, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

I don't see that the mouse-over suggests an escalation as described. BunsenH (talk) 00:23, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

I saw it as "had address on packaging, just so; grandma starts campaign of complaints to give granddaughter a similar experience; granddaughter suggests stopping original action if that would stop granny's retalation; (but apparently an armistice purely on those terms is not acceptable to Big-G)" - But there's other interpretations, I'll admit. 141.101.98.154 00:45, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
That's how I saw it too -- no suggestion that the package didn't originally have the address. BunsenH (talk) 01:17, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
