Bought some white seedless grapes from Coles yesterday on special for $3.90KG.
Just went to eat one and I dry reeched and almost threw up.
It tasted like stink bugs, so disgusting.
Half an hour later and there's still an aftertaste of smelly bugs.
Tried gargling with mouthwash to no avail.
I've had some shitty things from Coles but this was by far the worst.
Was it a Special Buy?
At least it was alive and fresh.
No, not a special buy.
Yes, it was alive, can't attest to how "fresh" it was.
Saw a caterpillar in a pack of tomatoes the other day too :P
genuine french grapes include snails, your just not used to european retailers
So by weight, we are paying for snails as well … good for the shop, for sure :-)
Kraft Hazelnut Spread. Trying real hard to be Nutella but end up with a buttery ass tasting spread with crunchy chunks.
Owait are we talking fresh? Blueberries are always disgusting from the supermarkets.
Nutella is disgusting stuff,its mostly Sugar and Palm oil. Have a look at this pic.

No one cares about the anti-nutella movement. It's just a jar of chocolate spread get over it.
I care
Complete bull….
For one thing, Nutella varies by country in recipe and taste. So it completely wipes out that garbage of a picture!
doesnt matter which country, the main component is sugar and second main component is palm oil. In australia, label says hazelnut 13%, skim milk powder 8.7%,cocoa powder 7.4% = total 29.1% The rest are SUGAR/Vegetable Oil(which is palm oil)/Soy Lecithin emulsifier/and flavouring vanillin.(that would make up 70.9%, but wait thats only by volume)
Under nutritional info, 100g serve actually contains 58.4g sugar and 30.4g fat == 88.8g of sugar+fat (So that's >88% by weight worth of sugar and fat you are paying your hard earned and saved $$ for, WHAT A RORT!!)
@KangaBanga:
So? Chocolate is always made mostly of sugar and fat, and everybody knows this. It's not meant to be healthy, it's a dessert. High levels of sugar and fat are in literally every dessert, this is nothing new, interesting, remarkable or noteworthy. Please stop pretending like you're some enlightened person who is documenting some hidden ingredient conspiracy, because there's isn't.
Yeah its junk food. On the other hand, it have the same ingredient profile as cake icing. You are eating cake icing.
So does chocolate.
The frozen fruits for smoothies all suck - except for pineapple
Chocolate on bread is just wrong…
Are you against fairy bread too? Pineapple on pizza? Ichigo sandwiches?
You leave fairy bread alone now as there isn’t & never will be anything wrong with fairy bread. Hated ham & pineapple pizzas when I was a kid but have come to like them over time. Can’t comment on Ichigo sandwichs as I’ve never had one??
Still Nutella is gross as chocolate on bread is noooope!
You leave Nutella alone now as there isn’t & never will be anything wrong with Nutella.
Fixed. Have a nice day.
Dolmio white bechamel sauce. Reeks of garlic and it ruined the taste of my lasagne.
I too have tried that one.
I now make white sauce from scratch EVERY time, it is based on the recipe that Leggo's had on back of lasagne sheet box (not sure if still on there).
Lasagne - how many other meals have all food groups covered?
I found this awesome recipe for white sauce that you just make in the microwave. Takes about 5 minutes! Here it is: http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/easy-white-sauce-with-va…
First time I made it I zapped it for the recommended time of 6-7 minutes but my microwave was too hot for that length of time.
Mother 'the natural original'
You bought without tasting?
I hate people that sample fruit.
You've gone there to do that quite a few times, why draw the line at tasting a grape?
Yea I know right?
It's okay to intentionally destroy an Aldi bag to be refunded 15 cents and also okay to make repeated orders under different aliases for free dog food but if you sample grapes, you deserve to go to hell.
I hate people that sample fruit.
What about people who eat the whole thing?
yeah, they are scabs
@Scab
Username doesn't check out.
I don't like that kind behaviours either.But why hates the people
Because it's stealing, I've even seen people eat them and with no intention of buying them.
Not only that but it's gross eating without washing them.
@Scab: I do agree, but my point is hating some one for that is harsh.
'Hatred is a poison that destroying its carrier'

I hope you don't mind but I'm getting this as a neck tattoo.
Reeses spread. Love Reeses pieces and Nutella and was hoping for a fusion of these. It was grainy and horrible :(
Oh? I just bought two from the woolies sale 😫
darn :(
Reeses isn't nice, but is it literally the 'Worst Food You've Ever Bought from Colesworth'. Come on now…
If something is inedible and must be thrown out then yes. Also expectation versus reality factored in. Only other thing that comes to mind is food that has been moldy (got some moldy pizza bases last week)
Also expectation versus reality factored in.
Ok, agreed with this one. It SHOULD be absolutely amazing, but it's just not nice at all.
I loved it
Very sweet and rich
I bought this icecream from WW online.
I didn't notice the DIY part. You get a dry powder or something you add milk and whisk then freeze or some crap.
Can you buy ice cream online? Because you know, they would start melting once out of the freezer?
The delivery truck has a freezer section they store the ice cream in
And having to add all the expensive stuff! If it was add "water" perhaps for a bit of fun
I nearly made the mistake of buying it too :(
You betrayed Aldi or were you banned due to plastic bag refund fraud?
It tasted like stink bugs,
How do you know what stink bugs taste like?
They taste like they smell.
crunchy too
It's an insect ice-cream flavour, that's how he knows…
Had a dead caterpillar in a tin of tomatoes.
Ready meal that tasted of metal.
Grated cheese that was already mouldy.
And most annoying, under ripe crunchy bananas.
Once you eat a crunchy banana and get that bitter taste, it's impossible to get the taste out of your mouth…
It was probably just a return from an office platter.
Careful you don't get poisoned
I bought diet Homebrand vanilla ice cream by accident. I still gag thinking about how bad it was.
Ice cream or ice confectionary? The latter is horrendously bad
Not that bad for milkshakes
Diet? I buy the regular home brand vanilla ice cream for milkshakes though.
Oh right, I missed that. Diet would be pretty gross
Ditto, inedible sticky stuff on a spoon but the best thing ever for milkshakes. Has plenty of that maltodextrein stuff.
Chicken in a can
These are fine - the thought of it is hideous, but the taste is ok.
Yeah it tastes a bit "canned", but it's just for throwing into a curry or something, so it works.
Did you wash/rinse the grapes?
Yeah, in stink bug juice. Why?
The grapes ruined the flavour of the stink bug juice
Yes, but washing doesn't remove it.
Will try killing it with fire.
Steeping them for a week or two with some yeast may help.
May help to squash them first.
I've got two!
First up - bought San remo cheese and spinach ravioli.. Cooked it. It stunk of wet dog. It was horrible. Sent in a complaint. Got a massive care package of other products.
Secondly - I was working a 24hr rotating roster once. Someone said to me that nescafe blend 40something was the worst instant coffee - I didn't think it was that bad.. So I got a jar of Woolworths brand instant coffee (because it was cheap - thinking it couldn't get worse than the nescafe). I couldn't stomach one coffee.. Ended up returning it just to prove a point that it was crap.
I bought a big tin of savings brand instant coffee when I first moved out of home, years ago.
I had one cup and spat it out.
I was broke, so took them up on the satisfaction guarantee to return it.
Ended up having to talk to the manager - his comment "what did you expect".
Got the money back, though.
Awesome comment from the manager
I agree with the manager. Homebrand coffee is not going to be good.
I was young and stupid, your honour!
@mskeggs: You really don’t want to remember what you did as a Uni student. No money and no taste buds. Yeah, youth is wasted on the young.
"what did you expect?"
"That your satisfaction guarantee is going to get honoured"
It's what is left after scrap is swept up off the nescafe floor, and international roast is filtered out of that.
Bought a ready chef lasagne (the 'family' size one) - followed the instructions perfectly, when I got it I found pieces of rubber in the lasagne. No idea where it came from, but there was literally half a tyre equivalent in the lasagne.
Now I normally don't waste anything, but I had trouble finding anything to salvage.
Filed a complaint, got sent a $25 coles gift card and a copy/paste apology.
That's put me off buying it permanently now.
Also - opened a Coles ($1 not the 65c) packet of pasta and there was all these white insects (like white weevils) in there having a merry old time. Didn't realise until after I got home so next time I went to coles I complained about it. They only offered me an exchange. What kind of customer service is that???
Anyway, rant over I still shop at Coles but never buy Coles brand pasta.
What did you do with the weevils?
I bred them into a colony to invade North Korea.
Lol, not sure if you are serious but I obviously took the pack back. Still got supporting documentation (photo + video) of them wriggling around. I figured it wasn't worth the hassle of trying to get any sort of compensation from a company who seems to not care about their customers.
I think there's often pantry moth larvae in pasta and rice, or at least their eggs.
We once hatched pantry moths inside an unopened packet of risotto rice within a week of buying it. Took it back to the supermarket with the moths trying to fly around inside the unopened bag and got a refund.
I now put all pasta and rice in the freezer for 24 hours after buying to kill the eggs (before it goes in a plastic container in the pantry).
Still got supporting documentation (photo + video) of them wriggling around.
Why haven't you posted it yet?
Also bread crumbs I saw stuff hatching after a week or two; next time going straight in the freezer.
@Mummy2: this genuinely made me LOL. I would to have listened to the conversation you had with the store manager.
@KBZ: It is when you spread it on the macaroni cheese before you see the wrigglers and wonder if just taking off the first layer will be enough?
Very accurate LOL it was after I baked the fish and took it out of the oven and saw bugs everywhere…
@KBZ: Presumably dead by then. Get onboard with the item about bugs as a good source of protein.
Although it is hilarious when people think Vanilla icecream made with proper vanilla beans has "bugs" because they can see the specks of black. We made a similar mistake until we saw the second shake and thought "wait a minute".
Yeah that's not gonna happen anytime soon.
Had to google that, never seen black specks in my vanilla ice cream hmmm.
@KBZ:
Yeah, they would have to mince the bugs in pretty well, and not tell me, before i'm getting on that band wagon.
you've probably never had proper vanilla icecream then :)
Mangosteens. I really missed eating them. Ate them all the time in Vietnam and when I lived in Melbourne. Always went to Footscray markets and get fresh ones.
Saw them at Woolies one day and though “awwww yis! It’s mangosteen time!” And I bought up nearly every one of they had. Took them home and that’s when disappointment set in. Opened first one, rotten. Second one, rotten. 3rd one, rotten. I think there were 12 or so and every single one of them were rotten…
Ouch, that sounds rotten
Found a live snail in a bag of grapes from Aldi. On the one hand, yuck! On the other hand, they must not have had a lot of pesticide residue.
