AIBU to set up just giving thing for man in digestive horror?

[Goldenbug]

Full Story (Portsmouth News site.)

This poor man was the tragic victim of finding an ordinary digestive biscuit in a packet of chocolate digestives. Will he be able to receive counselling on the NHS or should we set up a Just Giving page for donations to help him over it?

Has this happened to anyone else? If so, how did you manage to rebuild your life afterwards?

No Strygy, this is a very serious matter. Very serious indeed.

I once bought some pain ah chocolats which were blatantly without chocolat. Just an empty space where the lovely melty chocolate should be. Left an empty space in my heart, I can tell you that. #neverthesame

I once found a Rolo in my packet of Munchies. Still upset about it! Nestle did give me £2 compensation though.

strygil not at all it's a very serious issue

[Strygil]

Is this supposed to be funny?

Not the same but when chocolate Kimberly’s first came out my mother bought a box for christmas(serious extravagance at the time). I was very impatient waiting for the tin to be opened so I removed the seal very carefully and stole one, and put the seal back on. Days later mother opened tin and was disgusted. The next time we were back in the supermarket (where I worked after school, yes I was 17), my mother complained to the assistant manager who gave her a new tin. I was beside her, never opened my mouth. 😳

I opened a loaf of bread once to discover it had been sliced length-ways instead of the normal way. I had three enormous sandwiches.

:( how awful.

I am not sure a just giving page is enough, do you think a charity single would be better? Anyone got Bono’s phone number?

I used to get m&s kitksts because often there would be a solid chocolate finger instead of wafer it was awesome.

The APILN blog finished in May

The Facebook page carries on the good work

When I worked at Tesco’s we once had a customer who had been sent pack of sausages as a substitute for a turkey two days before Christmas, I had to drive to her in my car with a turkey and profuse apologies. I told her to keep the sausages.

I once had a craving for a bacon and tomato cupasoup. I opened the box to find no b and t sachets just chicken and mushroom ones from a completely different supermarket brand.

I'm hungry and no treats waferless or not of any kind....
"Coughingfor weeks"
My child has never had alphabites or any frozen processed potato product (sensory issues esp food-not wholesome parenting fresh veg only brigade)... dya reckon he could beat the sad face

[OJZJ]

Ps a kitkatless kitkat would be heaven but my real question is ....DID SHE GET HER LIFETIME SUPPLY????

[OJZJ]

When I was a kid my mum bought us Heinz beans and sausages as a rare processed treat ....twas 8 sausages and 3 beans, rest of it yummy " "bean juice"
Stupid woman didn't even write to the company never mind the national papers demanding a lifetime supply....
My sister and I are still in therapy 30 years later. .... can I still claim retrospective compo????

I made 8 boiled eggs and when i opened them up 6 were "double yolks"....i hate yolks, they tasted funny and the dogs refused to eat them as well.

No cozy, happy candy story. I'm very sad now.

I once bit into a Club. Chocolate only until half-way down. Good day.

Just a warning not to read ‘Whitstable Mum in Custard Crisis’ if you see it in a bookshop. It’s been years and I can’t get the horror out of my mind. Beyond appalling.

Precocious aresehole many many years ago mind, not any more ☺️

[pontypandypenny]

Many years ago I bought a pack of Munchies, found one sans biscuit, being a precocious arsehole I wrote a letter to complain if I wanted just caramel and chocolate I would of bought a pack of Rolos for 50p less. Got sent a voucher for £1! For any product from Nestle😁serves me right 🤗

[IllBeAtTheBarIfYouNeedMe]

I once had an entire pack caramel-less Rolos. It was outstanding. That was probably my lottery luck right there

Some years ago, I worked for a large supermarket chain. These incidents are far more common than you imagine, with many hundreds of sufferers hidden away in secret institutions known, variously as St Tesco's Turnup Homes for the Terminally Bewildered. Some poor souls have become institutionalised, and never ever leave

[DaisysStew]

I'm not alone in my suffering!

A few months ago I bought a mulitpack of Boosts. Got them home and greedily ripped open the packet ready to devour... only to find half the wrapper empty. So I obviously weighed them because I'm a saddo and I'd just bought new scales and they were half the weight they should have been!

Once I'd stopped sobbing and questioning the existence of God in such a cruel world I fired off a strongly worded email, complete with pictures of my tiny Boost on the scales. I got a £5 voucher as compensation, I was still traumatised but at least my belly was full.

[MrsPestilence]

There is no more need for chocolate digestives. I may have to give up tea and drink coffee. I am traumatised.
