Worst thing you ever bought by mistake
 

Everyone has done this at least once. You're in a hurry at the grocery store, and you grab a couple of cans off the shelf. You think you're getting peaches, but the stupid stockboy put the pickled beets in the wrong place, and you didn't take the time to really look at what you were buying until you got home. Maybe someone at the factory screwed up and mislabeled your goat cheese as mozzarella. What's the worst thing you've bought at the store by mistake?

This isn't the first time something like this has happened to me, but today I ended up with a can of Cream of Celery soup. Who eats that?

I can't think of any specific examples right now, but I know I've done it before. And I always get this feeling of huge disappointment in my gut, because I just wasted so much money.

Well, my family bought some raspberries one time and when we got home we noticed they had fuzz all over them. Easy to take it back, though.

Hmm, not many other mess-ups. My family eats all types of food and if we ever get something unusual, we'll probably finish it anyway.

I don't think I've ever purchased the wrong type of food before. I've probably purchased something because it seemed appealing at first, but left something to be desired. I've done that with bags of chips or cookies, and beverages.

I bought Cherry Jones soda by accident once. I meant to grab the Root Beer, but silly me wasnt paying attention.

It tasted like medicine, if the medicine had gone bad.

Cream Corn. Grabbed that instead of a normal can of kernal corn. Disgusting, simply disgusting.

Cans of Salmon instead of Cans of Tuna. I realized it, tried to eat one anyways and found out the hard way that the salmon was slimy with yucky fish skin and noticeable fat as compared to tuna which was purely the fish meat.

I know someone will give me flack for this one, but I'll say it anyways.

Vanilla Coke.

It just tastes like butt.

The milk's gone bad, Murphy!




Anyway, stuff I bought by accident that sucked. Oh, oh. I thought I was getting garlic stuffed olives, right? Ever had artichoke stuffed olives on pasta? Not bad, but when you expect garlic, that's fucked UP.

I always wondered why people buy salmon in a can. When I worked in a drugstore, there were always one or two people that stocked up on canned salmon everytime it was on sale.

Vanilla Coke is awesome; there's something wrong with you. Black Cherry Vanilla Coke, on the other hand, tastes like cat vomit.

Hm. I was at Henry's and saw a batch of these dried peas that I like. My sister pushed me to get another kind that looked like it could have been better. Got home to find out it was dried peas coated in wasabi. Felt like a bunch of ants in my mouth.

Rescently I was at target getting random stuff.
So I picked up the hanes socks, figuring they were a cool median between quality and price.
Then I suddenly spotted a clearence section. Same socks I had. Just cheaper. So I picked them up.
I get home to put them on, and wonder why they were hanging way off my feet.
They were like, xxxl. For size 13 feet or something.
Terrible for a person with size 10 feet.
Damn that cheap clearence section.

The worst thing I ever picked up by accident was in the freezer section - I wanted a chicken and mushroom pie, and that was what I grabbed. Turns out that the place that makes them is staffed by chimps, because the one I got was chicken and mushroom in some repulsive wine and anus gravy. It's packaging is identical to the normal pies, but with this tiny print at the bottom that says "in nasty acidic glop". Bastards.

The worst thing I ever picked up thinking "this looks like it would be nice" was a packet of pumpernickel square things. They must have shredded a lot of used underwear to make the stuff.

You do realize this is the Kitchen, right?

I accidentally bought a can of Vanilla Coke once from a vending machine that had only ever had normal Coke in it, and started drinking it without even looking at the can. I was a bit surprised.

The only thing that happened to me is that I bought some cookies and they weren't the kind I wanted...I felt kind of sick after eating one of them.

But here is a little story.
It begins with the word, Bolivia.

Bolivia.
It was in that foreign land that I decided to buy some cheesecake. I was at an(mainly) ice cream restaurant and I liked the ice cream. And then I spotted it. Cheesecake! I love cheesecake. It even had red strawberries on it!

I thought, "Ay yay yay! I want that!"
So I get my cheesecake and take a big scoop and eat it. Grossest cheesecake I've had in my life. It was all crumbly and nasty looking.

Well, I wasn't buying it, but I was at a buffet. They had baked potatoes, and I use a lot of sour cream on my baked potato. So I head over to the condiments and get a big bowl of what looked like sour cream -- but was in reality horseradish. I hate horseradish.

So...you can guess what my face looked like when I bit into a forkfull of horseradish-laden potato.

:( :( :(

Grolsch. Tastes like cat pee. But it all that the shop had at the time, and I thought that it couldn't be that bad, oh how wrong I was.
Strange thing is that I had some on the boat on my way across to Holland a few month ago, and found myself liking it.
The boat was Danish, so I guess that they are just better at brewing it than us Brits.

Teriyaki musubi. My brother in law and I were in such a hurry to get back to work, I just grabbed what I thought was spam musubi. Just not the same.

I was on a very bad date...not the normal type of bad date. No, this guy took me to an oriental seafood place (which, I don't particularly like seafood so I sort of prepared myself beforehand) and practically forced me to eat octopus and some kind of nasty testical-lookin'-thing. He wouldn't leave until I had a bite, even though I told him I'd rather spoon out my eyes, dip them in tabasco sauce and lick 'em than eat that shit. The taste wasn't so bad as how it felt in my mouth...all mushy and slimey. Uck. Well, I guess this one doesn't count considering I didn't technically pay for it...still, it was a ridiculous thing to buy, in my opinion.

I did, however, buy some chocolate covered coffee beans at the bookstore once, thinking I could get a quick caffeine fix. It would've worked, had I gotten them down without gagging. It was like eating sweet dirt...which is a combination I do not want to think about.

I love chocolate covered coffee beans. I guess they're not for everyone.

I always think they taste burnt. :(

The Coffee Tree Roasters makes really good ones, if you ever want to try them RR. They're damn expensive, though.

Some chinese packed peanuts.

It tasted like poop. Only drier.
