The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

My brother-in-law is a welderIn a previous job, he did some work at the Walkers Crisps factory. Afterwards he tried to tell me what he'd seen there, but I'm a total crisp addict and I didn't want to know. In the end he just said, "If you saw what I'd seen, you'd never eat another crisp in your life."
However, going from the sheer quantity and variety of similar stories I've heard in my life (and those already posted here), this applies to pretty much all mass-produced food at every stage of its production and distribution.
The editor of magazine I used to work on told me about a previous job he'd had making posh chocolates (you know the kind of thing: shiny boxes, individually wrapped etc.) and what the plebs on the production line got up to ...frankly there's no need to go into detail, just use your imagination.
Ew.
