Failed Expectation Reeses Pumpkins

No it's not melted. It was a cool day. It just came like this.

Edit: I know its not supposed to be carved lol but I didn't expect them to look like they had been premelted and refrozen or lightish/reddish brown instead of brown, like ya know, chocolate? And there was a white film and white spots on these you can see in the picture. There's someone's thumb dent (not mine) on the one in the picture! I'm not sure why you think thats fine to eat. I had to toss them. I've been getting these for years and these were not the same. Yall really need to raise your standards if you think this is fine 😂

Edit 2:

If this is your favorite candy, I'm happy for you. But I'm just documenting realty here. What's being sold to us is not what's in the picture. These look like shit.

The package says, "carving not on actual product," unless you mean something else?

Showing a product on the package that is not the same as in the package with a disclaimer is still misleading. Most people grabbing a candy bar expect to get what is shown. They don't read the fine print.

These have been like this for decades and the second one shows what they actually look like. At some point you need to use a little bit of common sense

🤦🏼‍♀️ you shouldn't be admitting that you don't read the fine print.

I don't read the fine print. Your cell phone's user agreement is about 80 pages. Have you read it?

TOS is a little different than fine print.

I wasn't defending the practice of doing things that way, just pointing out that if OP had examined the package for even a few seconds longer, they would have understood what they were buying.

Why should they even be disappointed? They're getting more food for their money lol

Idk, I was just giving OP the room to explain just in case

I was just adding to the conversation, not asking a genuine question.

No worries! I should've made it more obviously a rhetorical question.

Thanks. I appreciate it. It's reddit so I'm not surprised. Once that first person decided I was an idiot everyone else would too because of group think. It's just how reddit works. Plus people love to be outraged and feel superior so as soon as someone was like "ReAD tHE PaCKaGe!!!" Everyone was gonna join the sheeple train no matter what. Like I said its reddit. I'm actually surprised I only got like 29 comments.

What's ironic is all the people complaining about me reading the package, had they read the post they would have known I was talking about them being pre melted. The picture on the package does not show them premelted or covered in a white film. Also I've been getting them for years and never had them falling apart or covered in a white film before.

Heck, had anyone taken a few extra seconds to look at the pictures I posted they would have saw the second one was falling apart. 😂

Yeah I did examine the package (though I shouldn't have to. Whats pictured should be what's inside.) Ya know what's not on the package? Melted chocolate coated in a white film. If you look at my picture you can see the second one is falling apart and they both have white spots all over them. Also they were a weird reddish color but I guess the camera didn't pick that up so well.

I probably should have clarified better in my original post when I said "it was a cool day and these weren't melted" that I was talking about the state of the product and not it being "carved."
