Sorry; just read the review you linked to and it also takes issue with use of the word. I do disagree a bit that the lettuce doesn't necessarily spoil as quickly as mixed spring greens. We've gotten a few bad packages of it, despite having purchased well before the sell by date. Kroger is generous in their return policy at least. The only lettuce we've bought that doesn't spoil relatively quickly is at the local farmer's market. Not surprisingly....
