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?

Could have been worse. The daily fail ran a story today about some trick or treaters that were given a pack of digestives that went out of date in 1999

I once bought a mozzarella that turned out just to be a bag of expensive salty water. Still get flashbacks.

Praying for you, biscuit sadness man.

I once bought a caramel Wispa and it turned out to be a plain one. I’m over it now tho, apart from the occasional flash-back.

Only last week I had an online shop delivered and they had delivered me 'mini' fajita wraps instead of regular sized ones. Was very anxious and frightened anyway that it would make my fajita dinner insubstantial and the 'wrap to filling' ratio was going to be all wrong. Well imagine my horror when I opened the pack and there were also only 7 fajita mini wraps in there instead of 8. I fainted and DH had to call an ambulance. The paramedics rushed me to hospital where I was treated for shock. I was released after 6 days in intensive care and the medics said it was the worst case of food related trauma they had ever seen. I'm currently receiving counselling. Sadly my marriage is now on the rocks from my PTSD and my kids have suffered greatly as a result.

Warning: Some details in this story may have been a tad embellished

Misfortune seems to rain down on some folks. No one wearing that cardigan should be exposed to further misery.

Ellybellyboo · 03/11/2017 09:06

DH got a Big Mac from the drive through 2 weeks ago

When he got it back to work there were moviegoers in it

He’s still moaning about it now

Ellybellyboo · 03/11/2017 09:07

LOL. Fat fingers - moviegoers should have said no burgers

Has any one tried ginger biscuit on a chocolate digestive and dunked in tea? Wonderful warming wintery treat! I used to do this but am diabetic now. Hmm

I bought a 6 pack bag of WW crisps recently and opened the first bag to find 2 crisps in it. I know they're meant to help with dieting but I didn't think they meant to do it by just not giving you any crisps!! Shock

TheDuchessofDukeStreet · 03/11/2017 10:58

I once had a Breakaway that was all chocolate and no biscuit 😀

I once found a chocolateless Malteser... still going through therapy now.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 03/11/2017 17:49

A naked Malteser?

AllTheWittyNamesAreGone · 03/11/2017 17:50

I can't move past the cardi...

Evelynismyspyname · 03/11/2017 17:52

I once ordered a raw chicken as part of my online Tesco shop and received a chocolate Easter egg instead.

This is actually true, packer clearly on glue thinking outside the box...

Poor males - so hard done by, aren't they?

MrsPestilence · 03/11/2017 18:07

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

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! Shock

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.

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

IllBeAtTheBarIfYouNeedMe · 03/11/2017 18:43

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

pontypandypenny · 03/11/2017 18:46

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 🤗

pontypandypenny · 03/11/2017 18:48

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