To think these are not "mixed"

These are the "mixed baby tomatoes" that Tesco's sent me. The packaging states "a colourful mix". I'd rather they had sent me a substitution. Like a pack of baby red cherry tomatoes. Shall be sticking with red ones from now on

Righto. Thanks for sharing...

Lynne1Cat · 16/08/2018 15:42

Oh dear... get a refund, buy some more. Problem solved. If only that was all there is in life to worry about.....

Bunchofdaffodils · 16/08/2018 15:43

Can’t see them?

rightknockered · 16/08/2018 15:46

Well yeah. There are bigger problems in my world. But don't want to bang on about that Hmm

Well they might be more interesting than a tray of tomatoes...

NorthenderNamechanger · 16/08/2018 15:50

I want to see the offending tomatoes 😔

GetInTheBin · 16/08/2018 15:51

Careful OP. Daily mail love picking up stories like this.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 16/08/2018 15:52

I can't see them

Petitpomme · 16/08/2018 15:52

They are mixed. There's 3 different colours mixed together.

ApolloandDaphne · 16/08/2018 15:52

They are mixed. There are yellow ones, orange ones, plum ones and round ones. They just haven't manage to get them in a good ratio.

BakedBeans47 · 16/08/2018 15:52

Can’t see pic but I like the coloured ones from Lidl

MaggieAndHopey · 16/08/2018 15:54

I'm weirdly annoyed that I can't see the picture of the offending tomatoes so I could decide for myself whether I would find them acceptable.

Pickleypickles · 16/08/2018 15:56

Me too maggie 😂

cjt110 · 16/08/2018 16:00

Invisible tomatoes are all the rage

LoniceraJaponica · 16/08/2018 16:01

Are they the emperor's new tomatoes?

rightknockered · 16/08/2018 16:03

I posted the pic on the app, it's not showing up on my laptop. Bizarre

Ginkypig · 16/08/2018 16:03

No pic to see.

When are mn going to sort out this app/desktop site issue!

cjt110 · 16/08/2018 16:04

Are they the emperor's new tomatoes? Grin

GrumpyCatIsMySpiritAnimal · 16/08/2018 16:04

Can you post a pic from your laptop too? For some reason I’m desperate to see the tomatoes. No, I don’t get out much now that you mention it.

rightknockered · 16/08/2018 16:06

The packaging does state "a colourful mix"
I'm quite disappointed

I can't remember whether it was on Mumsnet or somewhere else that a guy was complaining about frozen mixed peppers. On the bag it looked like an even mix of red, yellow and green but every bag that he opened was around three quarters green (which I think we would all agree are the worst tasting of the three). He got into quite extensive correspondence with the supermarket and ended up counting and photographing the contents of every bag because they kept telling him that each individual bag that he had was anomalous. It was quite funny, and I don't think it was ever resolved (unless he moved to fresh instead of frozen perhaps).

diddl · 16/08/2018 16:09

Why would they send a substitution if what you ordered is available?

Admittedly the mix is pretty heavily weighted towards red!

CaptainHammer · 16/08/2018 16:09

Mostly red with 3 different is not really a colourful mix. I don’t use Tesco’s but assume you can request a refund?

GrumpyCatIsMySpiritAnimal · 16/08/2018 16:10

Yep, I see your problem. Someone has popped a couple of grapes in there.
Do watch out though OP, someone will come along in a minute and tell you off for being tomatoist.
On a more serious note - no, that’s not a mix and I bet they were twice the price of a pack of all red ones.
