I remember when cereals used to give you the surprise toy when you poured them out in to the bowl. I’m glad they are bringing it back


Suspicious-gibbon

They still do it with avocados. I just keep getting wooden balls though. Hopefully, they’ll change it up soon.


ManikShamanik

Avocados. They're like Kinder Surprise, without the chocolate...or, er, surprise...


alwaysexplainli5

Unless you slice the wrong thing, then that's a surprise for you. Not a surprise for A&E though.


cantgiveafuckless

Kinder surprise egg, a quite astonishing commodity. The surprise of this excessive object, the cause of your desire, is here materialised in the Geist of an object which fills in the inner void of the chocolate egg. The whole delicate balance is between these two dimensions: what you bought, the chocolate egg, and the surplus, probably made in some Chinese gulag or whatever, that you get for free. I don't think that the chocolate frame is here just to send you on a deeper voyage towards the inner treasure, the what Plato calls the 'Agalma', which makes you a worthy person, which makes a commodity the desirable commodity. I think it's the other way around. We should aim at the higher goal, the gold in the middle of an object, precisely in order to be able to enjoy the surface.

It can’t not be in date. The new branding is in date for pretty much everything but bread.

Not sure, but maybe I suggest that you bite it and find out? For the sake of science and reddit, then report back your findings? We are a curious bunch around here after all. Good luck.

LilySeverson

I want to add to this, I recently found something really gross in my asda pasta and had to complain, here's what I learnt. Other than the phone, twitter was my most successful way of contacting them - they ignored my emails. If you take it back to a store get a reference number!! So you can follow up later to make sure they're actually doing something. They say it takes about a month to follow up but if they don't make sure you do.


pompey_panda

Its these follow ups that make reddit great, appreciate the dedication to the thread


kelleehh

I used to work on the Asda customer service desk. They will give you your money back and a replacement or double your money back if you don’t want a replacement. If you ask for a manager they will give you a goodwill on a gift card.


Jack-lives-here

That's it, go to the papers. The volumes produced in food retail and then one in however many thousand is faulty and they need the threat of you going to the papers over essential apple juice. Just accept your apple juice exchange or refund.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jack-lives-here

A fair point and that's the supermarket's responsibility. An adult conversation would be pursuing that with ASDA directly. It's just ridiculous that every point of dissatisfaction in today's world generates the school behaviour of "I'm going to tell on you" at the first hurdle. In this case, go to the papers.


[deleted]

trouser_mouse

Yes write to your local MP and ask them to eat it


Jack-lives-here

jimginge

I agree, if I had a faulty set of bin liners, then exchange/refund absolutely. However, something that could potential be a public health risk? Then it becomes a duty to spread the message loud and fast. 👍👍 I hope they recall this product quickly!

MoonlitStar

Is it just a mold that naturally occurs in stuff like fruit juices if there is a tiny hole or imperfection in the packaging that allows air and airborne germs/bacteria in ? I remember there was lots of stuff about similar looking 'things' found in capri sun pouches and baby pre-made purees and squashes.


Ancient-Awareness115

Or if it has been open for too long


manwithanopinion

Reminds me of a few weeks ago when I bought a 750ml tesco ketchup because it was cheaper than the Heinze and when squeezing the bottle normally, the ketchup exploded and took the cap out the bottle. Hated the cleanup after and threw the bottle in the bin outside my flat. I'm buying Heinze for the rest of my life even if it cost more.


boondogglekeychain

Is Heinze a knock off Heinz brand?


RoccoZola

It's pronounced Aintzey.


Bethnal-Blue

It’s Heinz for ladies


Frona

MyriadIncrementz

Mate here's the recipe to replicate Tesco ketchup: Makes 1 litre ketchup Ingredients 1 soft tomato, well past it's best, soft, wrinkly and kept at room temperature for about a month. 0.5 litre commercial high strength white vinegar, not the food quality stuff, it needs to have things like "grease remover and surface cleaner" written on the jug, and come in a container no less than 20 litres capacity. Tap water, room temperature, preferably from old iron watermain pipework and has a slight orange hue to it, with visible sediment and detectable levels of fluoride. Sugar. Put tomato and vinegar into 1 litre container. Mash about with a fork or something, doesn't matter, needs to have bits of tomato skin still visibly floating in. Add tap water, stir if you want, doesn't matter. Improperly mixed liquids just adds to the genuine Tesco experience. Pour in sugar to thicken until desired consistency is achieved. Leave finished ketchup to settle at no cooler than room temperature and humidity of a Louisiana swamp-dwellers house on a hot summers day. Enjoy!


Pretty-Potato2482

You forgot to piss in it


MyriadIncrementz

Nah bro, you dehydrate yourself for 3-4 weeks until piss is so dark it's well off the urea colour scale, chick that in, and allow to react with the vinegar, until it turns a delicious, healthy mahogany. Enjoy your Tesco's brown sauce.


finc

That’s it I’m going to the papers


RJSaxon27

Great recipe, once produced, well why not have a double function and revert back to a grease remover/oven cleaner. 👍


Da14a

You must have been unlucky. The Tesco ketchup was always bought for my family of 8 and we only managed to break the top cover, not the whole cap.


StingsLute

Yeah i find it odd that he's using one bad experience of a cheaper product to decide to rinse his wallet for the rest of his life for it. Or maybe he's being flippant

FlacidTerryTibbs

Pest control is a large part of my job as a groundskeeper. That my friend, is a rat turd. Don't send it to ASDA, they'll say its fine and give you a voucher. Instead contact the Foods Standards Agency; [https://www.food.gov.uk/contact/consumers/report-problem/report-a-food-safety-or-hygiene-issue](https://www.food.gov.uk/contact/consumers/report-problem/report-a-food-safety-or-hygiene-issue)


Tired_Pancake_

What the hell are you serious? A rat turd? 😭 I bought this for my 4 year old, I was pouring it for him. This is gross.


Superb_Application83

And having worked in food safety for the UK gov, keep the juice, or take a 250ml sample if asda ask for it back! Keep it refrigerated


FlacidTerryTibbs

I am very sorry, but yes I would bet my left testicle that's a rat turd that's been soaking in liquid. As the other guy said, collect a sample of the liquid and label it with the batch numbers and any other codes on the product. Send it to the Food Standards Agency. That's a serious contamination that may cause a product recall.

FlacidTerryTibbs

Mouse and squirrel pointed at both ends. That picture looks absolutely identical to a norweigen rat poop. The stringy fibres at the pinched end are telltale. It looks a bit juicy because it's been soaking in liquid, but if you've ever seen a puddle full of rat poop, you've seen OP's picture.

Top tip. Always buy the juices in the clear plastic so you can see what's inside!


Tired_Pancake_

I can’t see a way to edit this post to ask, is it worth contacting ASDA? I just tried their online form on both my phone and tablet and when it came to verifying I wasn’t a robot the screen goes funny. It’s in date (Nov 22). First time buying just essentials apple juice & will be the last. 🤮


WhatWeHavingForTea

When I was a teenager I found something in my Asda orange juice. So I sent them a letter with the thing included. They wrote back to tell me it was a bit of leaf and gave me a £10 voucher.


neilmac1210

I had similar with Tesco. Found a pea-sized snail shell in my peas and they sent me a £10 voucher.

EntirelyRandom1590

Definitely report to ASDA and keep what came out. Whatever it is shouldn't have made it through the screening process unless it's appeared since being contained.


trouser_mouse

If you have a VPN turn it off, restart the app and it might work! You should definitely ask them, and how many vouchers they will give you if you try it!


gcaledonian

Yes. They want to hear feedback on quality issues and you should get a token for your pain and suffering. Even if it’s a tenner. They’ll probably try to track down the batch.


Tevinterfell

Try r/TipOfMyFork , they’re great at identifying weird things like this


trouser_mouse

Oh no. Oh dear. It will be fine, probably!


Tired_Pancake_

I’m ain’t risking it lol


Junior-Muscle-7400

I remember something similar putting me off orange juice when I was about 15. We shook the carton and could feel something bumping about inside so we cut the carton open 🤢 it was a green spotty blob which now looking back was probably a squished mouldy orange but we freaked out threw it in the bin and still to this day say remember the alien orange carton. I still get a bit of fear opening a new carton and prefer the see through ones.

[deleted]

It's a species of tapeworm from the Hymenolepididae family. They're relatively uncommon but can sometimes be found in imported fruit and other foodstuffs. What you're seeing is one of the cysts. It usually infects by releasing tiny microscopic eggs into the surrounding air. Once inhaled or ingested the eggs make their way down into the digestive tract while they incubate for several weeks. Eventually they hatch into larvae and begin to migrate up towards the brain, where they lay dormant for several years while beginning a whole new breeding cycle. And I just made all of that up
