What have you found that was a failure?

Oh Costco! Fail!

That’s right, all the hoopla of decision making, which slot do I put my trash in, only to discover it’s one freaking bin! :disappointed_face:

Of course the way people seemingly cannot put stuff in the correct bin (assuming separate bins) despite obvious instructions is another common fail.

A Costco food fail - pistachio cheesecake. It looked and sounded delicious. But it tasted too sweet, gooey, and artificial, and the “cheese” layer was quite thin, covered with a layer of some whipped topping that was the same thickness as the cake layer. While we loved the regular cheesecake at Costco, this one was a major fail! In the compost it went.

Gingerbread man cookies from Fresh Market. Five bucks for a package of 4 and they tasted like cardboard. :face_vomiting:

Charcuterie meat cuts from Trader Joes. Two different packages. Stale and chewy.

As someone who loves pistachios ( they were always my choice from the candy store as a kid), I’m finding a lot of the new pistachio products are fails.

Agree! The “Dubai” stuff is often inedible. And I love pistachios!

The sizing in the women’s Felina tshirts at Costco. I’ve always been a M or L but in this brand, I’m an XS! It’s very odd. The shirts are nice but sizing is quite wonky! D is normally a XS but it’s way too big in her.

My new dishwasher. I love Bosch. The newest one only comes in a WiFi version. I didn’t want a WiFi version and asked them to look for an older one in the warehouse. They didn’t have any with the features I want (Crystal Dry) that weren’t WiFi enabled. I took the WiFi enabled version, and as predicted, had trouble hooking it up. My plan was to just not use the Wifi, and now I’ve realized that some of the cycles can only be enabled through WiFi. URGH!

Hopefully it was just incorrectly set up and someone didnt realize they had to put 3 individual bags in!

Several years ago, I bought a recumbent bike online. There was an option to have the handlebars in the normal place or down low by your thighs.

Boy, nobody could have test ridden the bike with the latter handlebars placement because the bike was unridable with them there. The placement didn’t allow for the full range of turning needed to stay upright. I crashed so many times before I gave up. The bike was very comfortable though when not crashing. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
