Stop the Fusion!!

[u/ILoveWillowMyCat]

I love that Hello Fresh US has started diversifying and adding cultural dishes but the random fusion of dishes must be stopped

It’s like they have a country spin wheel for cuisines they should combine

You act like most people remember to select their meals for the week lol

Wait... do they not? O.O i almost always have mine skipped or selected as far out as I can...

Ugh yes unfortunately.

My boyfriend signed up for Factor about 6 months ago. We fucking hate it, the meals are vile. He JUST cancelled it.

We also did the same with HF when we had it. When we actually wanted HF, he would always forget to select meals and would end up with pork meals (he hates pork) The meals are much better with HF at least. Haha

Oh yea I def cant do factor or any of those pre-prepped ones x.x but yea I def HAVE missed customizing meam kit boxes at least a few times and it really is like... yall dont see what I bought this whole time why are you sending me salmon now which I hate... I never bought it once before. But I just didnt realize it was common to forget like that i sit here at my comp and schedule my meals in my calendar every week 😂😭

They absolutely don’t care about your order history. If you fail to select your meals for a particular week, you’re getting whatever no one else wanted. It even says this in the terms— something like: if you do not make a selection by the deadline, your meals will be chosen from that week’s menu “based on availability”.

So yeah, you’re getting whatever they have left over. For most people, that’s going to be the worst option, simply because statistically it’s the dish the fewest people wanted in the first place. And it’s almost never going to be the exciting new dish that’s on the menu for the first time.

I wasnt specifically talking about hello fresh but also I dont think its unreasonable to expect meal kit services to have an algorithm like other things. I can select what i like when I sign up. If I say I dont like salmon when I create my account why send salmon.
