Got tricked by Big Chocolate into buying some pressed date fruit. What product completely misled you recently?

  1. Those fucking big bag of pickled onion ~~flavoured~~ “monster munch”.

    Just normal, underwhelming pickled onion crisps, where the fuck are the monster claws?

  3. Lindt lindor pistachio balls.. Very anti climax and such a fate taste of sed nut.. I’ll still eat um but disappointed is a understatement

  7. Condolences to you! That’s a really nasty trick they’re playing there! I don’t do dairy so know all too well how many companies try to play off the gooey, gritty, overly sweet Date paste as a treat.. I’ve been fooled into buying a couple of variations on that theme. Gross. People must either generally like them, or generally be good at convincing themselves it tastes good, either way, I don’t get it.
    The Soreen mini gingerbread loaves I got recently were a bit misleading, not very gingery or sweet as you would expect from a seasonal item. I think your example might take a lot of beating though 🤣

  8. Went to pick up a luzozade sport orange, ended up with a sugar free but sure how different can it be.
    ORANGE AND PEACH!?

  9. What’s pressed date fruit? Is it just dates that have been shaped into a bar? Do they not have any chocolate in them?

  10. Not recently but you know when you’re a kid and you used to see those big “Creme Egg” or “Cadburys Caramel Egg” Easter eggs thinking the inside would be full of deliciousness?

    That was fucking heartbreaking wasn’t it? Getting your hands on a hollow egg of misery?

  12. They’ve only just recently rebranded these. They used to be far less ambiguous, and I’m guessing that they weren’t selling particularly well. I quite like them, but I knew what I was getting into when I bought them.

  13. I got the Cadbury Dairy Milk one of these Fruit and Nut bars. Totally not what I was expecting.

  14. Bought a polis Oshee protein bar in home bargains the other day was -compared to all other protein chocolate bars- fucking delicious and said it had 17g of protein…. actually read the label properly and it was 17% of it was protein so like a normal chocolate bar and whilst it was good it was not as good as a proper chocolate bar.

  15. Yea this “Mars bar” is why I have trust issues.

  16. They stack these by all the self service checkouts now, I think because they legally have to put the actual chocolate further away so they use these to trick people.

  17. Was In a rush one day, popped into the local shop and grabbed *what I believed to be* a cherry pepsi. Got to school, popped it open and took a swig. Raspberry.

    Now don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t awful.. unless you were expecting cherry.

    Also please bring back Pepsi Max Ginger. It was the best.

  19. I bought some Boursin and as I ate it I thought it had gone off. Turns out it was truffle flavour. Yuck.

  20. I assumed Shake Shack’s Shroom Burger had a portobello mushroom as well as the standard beef patty, so was most disappointed to discover it was instead of.

  21. I recently found out that the olives I am buying are not preserved in olive oil but in vegetable oil. Still dont understand why. I was proud I am eating healthy…

  22. Bit into some tinned tuna and actually gagged. Checked the tin, “Tuno”, this fake plant tuna was being sold next to the real stuff but was absolutely vile.

  23. Candyfloss flavoured grapes. Didn’t realise and thought they were the normal ones.
    They were so sweet! Edible, but weirrrrd

  24. At this time of year it’s “Do you want a mince pie?”

    I’m already salivating about a Scotch Pie and I get…. fruit!

  25. Vue gift card that you can’t use online. Because buying tickets at the box office is so convenient. Rock up and hope there’s seats. Proper darkside tactics.

  26. There was the shrinking inflation.

    Now, tricked inflation.

    Tomorrow, fuck you, you get nothing, just give me your money inflation. For short, stealing inflation.

  27. Ordered some coconut milk in my grocery shop…was sent coconut scented fabric softener as an alternative.

    Can’t put that in my soup, can I?!
