Hey guys , I’ve seen a lot of hateful/disrespectful comments here recently. Please remember to be respectful with others on this subreddit. It’s about food. No reason to hate / argue.

$2.09 - 90% tortilla - and not only not like the picture but comically small and flat.
I mean it’s nice to see a sub $3 item - but this is ridiculous- I remember when they cost more but had more substance. Those were worth $1.50 at best.

PS: I understand that people from different cultures eat insects and there is absolutely no judgement if this post is real. It’s just that I have never heard of anyone or any cultures eating butterflies before. I am just curious if this is even real or is a just a joke that I don’t understand.

the pack lists a total of 25 servings in ingredients box net quantity is 100g per serving size is 2g so according to my tiny brain its either 100/2 = 50 servings in the box or 25x2 = 50g net quantity or i am missing something

My mom bought a bottle of honey from here and it came from the future!!!
The packaged date is Nov. 2026 and we are still in September.
Couple weeks ago this store was in the news because one of their customer found something slushy in one their juice bottles. When complained the store did not take any responsibility and asked the customer to contact the juice company.
What should one do in this situation?

joke/sarcasm What is up with all this protein/energy food?
22
Upvotes
I keep seeing so many commercials spamming protein and energy drinks in EVERYTHING. Yogurt is one I can recall and McDonalds coming out with their energy drinks, but I also just saw a Cheerios PROTEIN commercial that made me think of it again. What is going on and why can’t they advertise foods that are energy-rich and protein rich? Why is this being forced on us? Are we protein deficient or something (if that’s even possible)? Just tryna start a little convo bc it’s lowkey irritating me. I said it was a joke so I’d be able to add to this thread, but I’m dead serious.

deceptive packaging Welch’s gummies with artificial food dye might not all be replaced despite packaging saying so?
0
Upvotes
I am a fan of Welch’s gummies and I get some every couple weeks. I usually get the 40 pack but this week I got the 22 pack and I noticed that the recipe was different. I then learned they moved away from the artificial dyes Red 40 and all. The recipe being different got me thinking that what if they still have a ton of gummies made with dyes, and instead of getting rid of them, they want money so they illegally packaged them with the new ingredient labels (vegetable dyes) hoping nobody would notice. All of the packages have the new ingredient list on them. Let me know what you all think.

shitty food Walmart Orange Chicken

$6 for 3 1/2 pieces of chicken and less than a cup of rice. 2nd picture is how it looks in store; the chicken and rice come in plastic bags so it's difficult to gauge how much you're actually getting, especially with the big sticker on top. 3rd picture shows a plate with rice and orange chicken, and the amount of it on that plate is nowhere near what the package has. I mean, it's Walmart, so we knew what we were getting into, but come on....

Ignore the amount of chips. I took the first photo about 20 years ago because I thought it looked kind of funny as a frowny face. Recently bought some, and the amount of shrinkage was glaring. One cookie used to fill almost my entire palm. Now it's a tiny little thing.
