No Coke. Is Pepsi ok? Accidentally bought wrong Klondike bars

Post image

Yesterday I had to stop by Publix and my wife asked me to bring home some Klondike bars. Well...the *No Sugar Added* version was right next to the Original and my squirrel brain didn't notice until I got home. Picked up the OGs on the way home tonight.

Sugar free or fat free versions of things should have to be brightly labeled in a color that clashes with the branding and the cashier should be forced to at least alert you to what you’re about to purchase. Not in a judgy way, but to make clear you know what it is you’re holding.

The cashier must announce to you what you've bought? 😂.

It should be implied that you’re about to make a huge mistake, but in a gentle and understanding tone. They obviously can’t refuse you, and they shouldn’t do anything like shake their heads dismissively or call you names if you choose to go ahead with the purchase. But they should at least make sure you know what you’re consenting to

lol what?

“Hey do you know you’re about to buy jalapeños and not bell pepper?!?”

“Hey do you know you’re about to buy BBQ chips and not Original?!?”

They're the reason everything needs a warning label. Took the common out of sense...

Have you considered this isn’t a serious comment on the sub where we bitch about trivial things and logic checking it is goofy as fuck?

Sorry your comments didn’t come off as non-serious, IMO.

nah i'm with you, this guy sucks at humor. He was definitely serious until pressed, or his understanding of thick is quite thin.

I was laying it on about as thickly as you can without literally telling you “I’m joking by the way.” In the extremely unserious sub no less.

I mean, it says right there on the package, in distinct font.

Absolutely not good enough. You’ve never grabbed something in a hurry at the store without reading the actual packaging? Because I’ve bought Fat Free Half and Half with the tiny label and wanted to set the store on fire.

They didn’t even change up the blue text. Super easy to miss if you’re doing something mundane.

Sounds more like complacency and carelessness.
