Stopped at a Shell off I-80 last Friday and the sushi case had a California roll with the seaweed turning grayish. Wrapped at 6am but the temp gauge on the cooler was reading 48 degrees. Has anyone else seen sketchy grocery items at random convenience stores and actually reported them?
I always figured fancy flavored syrups were a gimmick, but I grabbed a small jar at a local market in Portland last month just to see. It cost $7, and honestly I expected it to taste like a candle, but it was actually incredible on plain yogurt. I was wrong about the whole category, and now I'm checking every weird condiment shelf for small-batch stuff. Has anyone else been burned by a trendy pantry item that actually turned out to be worth the money?
Picked up the same brand I've been buying for like 2 years at my local Kroger in Austin. Last week I noticed the box has this big glossy redesign with a photo of a chef, but inside the tray is noticeably smaller. I weighed it at home, went from 40 ounces to 32 ounces, same price at $8.99. What's with companies spending more on packaging while cutting the actual food? Has anyone else seen a size drop like this on frozen stuff, or is it just this one brand trying to hide the shrink?
I counted 500 odd product labels in one grocery aisle in Austin last Tuesday, from 'cactus water' to 'pickle soda,' and tbh I felt proud, not weirded out. Is spotting odd stuff a hobby or just a sign I need better weekend plans, what's your take when you pass that mark?
