    Lucky Snakes Alive 888g $2.99

    Anybody want to go halves ?

    • trixieb on 29/01/2025 - 11:48

      Will treat you to a whole 888g packet.

      I don't get it? Either the joke is too obscure or you are struggling with getting $2.99 together

        Maybe they only like one of the colours?

      • jeppetto367 on 29/01/2025 - 12:08

        The joke is that the Chinese see the number 444 as unlucky.

          Isnt the joke having to go halfs on a $3 item?

            @niggardly: we could be here all day trying to decipher jv's asinine post. better to accept it's unfunny and pointless, and move on

              @beltdrive: At this point, we have no idea who JV really is. But the leading theories:

              (1) An AI that became self-aware but only to s**tpost.

              (2): A bored government agent testing human patience.

              (3): A group of possums with WiFi access.

              (4): The ghost of an internet troll who died but refused to log off.

              (5): God.

      Wonder if other CNY products on sale at Costo from today?

      • trixieb on 29/01/2025 - 12:10

        Probably to clear stock. On the weekend, one of the CNY ornaments was reduced.

          They're just normal Allen's Lolly Snakes, but just the red and yellow ones. Not sure why those colours. But assume it's something to do with Chinese new year.
          They're my two favourite flavours, but unfortunately not a Costco in sight for me!

            @chris6507: "Red" is for general good fortune/luck while "Yellow/Gold" is for wealth.

            While silver is the general currency used in ancient China, gold is the "higher tier" currency mostly used by the rich to horde their wealth.

            @chris6507: Red is for the chinese country color (little red book, flag, communism etc.). Yellow is the people. Chinese new year originated as a celebration of chinese people in china.

    Can I return a non-prosperous bag because it has 887g or 889g of lollies?

    Just want them to bring back the Sourz range :(

  • discountguy on 29/01/2025 - 12:01

    and they're still $19 on Amazon …. I'm holding out for a price match ;)

    • Deco on 29/01/2025 - 12:03

      Does Amazon price match sale items?

    Damn - paid $6 on Monday - still a bargain!

    • trixieb on 29/01/2025 - 12:08

      Costco may refund the difference (depends on the store).

      • digitalane on 29/01/2025 - 12:32

        Yeah. Maybe - but would cost more than $3 in fuel - all good - was happy with the $6 they cost me

        • M00Cow on 29/01/2025 - 13:33

          but Costco fuel is cheap!

    Still taste rubbish in comparison with the now unobtainable Starburst snakes.
    Those were the business!

    • Gina Rinehart on 29/01/2025 - 13:04

      Starburst Gummy squirts were the absolute GOAT. Actually pretty much all the starburst jellies and lollipops etc were good.

      Also the original Starburst (wrapped ones) were so much better than the crap they now import. The ones that were actually coloured the same as the wrapper. RIP

    • tightm8 on 29/01/2025 - 14:42

      What happened to them? Did they lose distribution contracts or something?

      I used to love the sour worms and fruit mix.

  • satcher on 29/01/2025 - 12:31
