You put this on the market and people still buy it! After reading it! Argh, I wanted a granola bar, but I can't eat these. Not after reading the box.

I hate when people say that. Even worse when people say that they lost the PIN number to their ATM machine. The personal identification number number to the automated teller machine machine. GAH! Redundant redundancy is redundant... and repetitive.

This is known as RAS Syndrome:

Quote:
RAS syndrome stands for Redundant Acronym Syndrome syndrome and refers to the redundant use of one or more of the words that make up an acronym or initialism with the abbreviation itself, thus in effect repeating one or more words. The term "RAS syndrome" itself is an example of self-referential humor.
