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?

That's happened to me before x2boys. The crushing disappointment when you are expecting cheese and onion deliciousness and get...shitty plain....well I can't even talk about it.

Cheese and onion deliciousness? Shitty plain? Are you an animal?!

Cheese and onion crisps taste like men's feet. Lovely salty crisps are delicious and the perfect conduit for tastiness such as houmous and Waitrose basil and pecorino dip!

You may as well just chow down on a raw potato if you like plain crisps. There, I've said it.

Ha! In my lifetime, I have had both a biscuit free Breakaway (it was my first ever, offered to me by a boy on a coach on a school trip and I knew no differently until I had consumed it) and a wafer free Kitkat.

So I guess I might be considered the Chocolate Thief who deprived this guy of his chocolate digestive. I can live with the crime.

The poor man is a charity worker - dedicating his life to helping those less fortunate. All he wants for his troubles is a chocolate biscuit to soothe his charitable soul, the poor man needs help.

Honestly op there should be a trigger warning in your post! Get onto MNHQ now and sort it out.

I actually avoided opening this thread until I had finished my lunch because I thought it might be something medical and stomach churning.

Why do people go the papers about these things though?
I once bought a pack of six Mr Kipling jam tarts and when I opened them there were only five. I wrote to the manufacturer and they sent me a postal order to the value of a new pack. Much more effective and satisfying than having your sad face in the local paper.

I once had a waferless KitKat - the only thing that upset me was that before I opened it I'd offered to share it with a friend so I didn't get the entire experience

On a happier occasion I once had a cornetto that was solid chocolate from about half way down the cone - that was the best ever (more so because others simultaneously eating cornettos were beside themsleves with jealousy )

Stunned? He’s stunned, I’m stunned, we’re all stunned.
I’ve never been to Portsmouth, and I won’t be going in future now.....

I once had a creme-less creme egg - nearly broke my face eating it.

Was both elated and disappointed in equal measure. (Have also had a wafer-less kitkat. )

I once got a Muller fruit corner yoghurt without the fruit. It was the Blackberry and Raspberry one too. I'd waited all day to come home so I could eat it, to see no fruit

I'm fuming just remembering it.

We should buy multipacks of crisps and post the cheese and onion and plain ones to each other!!

I've had a wafer-less KitKat and I was thrilled. And then I wondered to myself, if I was so excited that there was no wafer in my KitKat why hadn't I just bought a bar of chocolate, which would be a guaranteed wafer-free experience? And then my brain exploded from thinking too much.

He could always melt two squares of chocolate and smother it over the plain one with a spoon. Then he'd have the melted chocolate on a spoon to lick as well.
More satisfying than cognitive behaviour therapy.

It must be something about us Portsmouth peeps, we're just unlucky.

I once brought a box of broken biscuits but about half were not actually broken which mean instead of being good with half a biscuit I had to eat a whole one!

I also opened a bag of crisps to find no crisps! Although I did get a £25 voucher off the company when I brought it to their attention.

"He said: ‘I was quite surprised. It’s the last thing you expect to see."

I think the last thing I would expect to see would be a full sized Haribo moose with former Radio 1 DJ Gary Davies suckling liquid jelly from it's teats. A biscuit without chocolate is not substantially different from the advertised contents.

I think this could be a great new product - a pack of bikkies, half with chocolate and half plain.

Poor confused, befuddled and stunned James. I do hope he gets a willy wonkaesque tour of the factory now.

I purchased a pack of bacon one, six thick slices it said, six.
There were 7. I took them straight back to Waitrose to complain.
Companies treat us like idiots, it's about time they realised we pay their wages.

Honestly Sparklingbrook, true story , I would never of course I would eat them straight out the tin
I was most disappointed

I’m getting lots of as I’m reading this outside the School gate and giggling!

sayyouwill that got a proper LOL from me!

I once bought a can of air freshener that didn't smell of anything. I was devastated! How was I supposed to replace the smell of my dog's farts with the far more delightful stench of artificial roses? It's a miracle my entire family weren't gassed. I don't think I've ever quite got over it and still struggle to talk about how distressing it was.

I'm off to check my unopened plain digestives pack to see if this poor mans chocolate ones are there and if so I'll be eating them

I think we should all give this man a as mnet ones are the nicest anyway
