I ran into the small local grocery yesterday and they had some chocolate milk that the label stated-tastes just like a Milky Way bar (one of my fav's). Bought it home and opened it up-YUCK!!!! It was so sweet and fake tasting-it getting dumped down the drain. Even Neil though it was terrible.
Anything you ever bought end up in the garbage???

Oh yeah, those fake milkshakes, I find are gross too


One thing I tried that I won't buy again is those cheerios with fruit in it...to me the fruit feels and tastes like styrofoam

DH bought some cheap AfterEight knock-offs the other day. They were terrible, and went straight in the bin. Yuck! Chocolate is not something to skimp on!

Some sort of foaming Oxy cleaner. It wouldn't remove stains on the counters at all.

The worse thing was that I got in bulk (2 bottles for $5). I was excited about the bargain at the time.

I'm back to Lysol now.

Diet OJ and diet apple juice...my stomach hurts if I have too much acid (OJ) or too much sugar (juice), but those just tasted gross to me! So I still drink the regular stuff but no more than half a glass.

I got on a healthy kick and started buying soy milk instead of cow's milk. It was going along pretty good until I switched brands to 8th Continent because I got a coupon. I broke out in HIVES! It was pretty bad, considering it took me almost a week to figure out what it was (not a regular rash) and what was causing it. Horrible huge red spots on my face, neck and hands. Hot, itchy pain and misery lasted another week until the Benadryl cleared it up finally. I switched back to cow's milk.

We bought the same thing a few weeks ago. Hubby drank it but we will never buy it again. I can't really think of anything else right now.

I bought this Quaker Oats Selects Oatmeal once that just never cooked like they said it was supposed to. Maybe I was doing something wrong?
Anyway, it went in the trash and I started buying their regular oatmeal again.

Those Cheerios that look like Fruit loops. YUCK! They taste like cardboard not like fruit.

I'm sure there are others but I can't think of them right now.

Dell products
Single ply tissues or toilet paper

I can't think off hand about any specific brand or product grocery wise.

Diet Rite pop, tastes a lot like Diet Pepsi, much cheaper, but gave me excruciating headaches

I don't know why desserts have to be sooo sweet. American companies put way too much sugar in sweets, yuck.

I will never buy fat free mayonaisse, salad dressing, sour cream, cream cheese, ice cream, etc. Tastes like poop. I don't mind the low fat, but the fat free is gross.

I don't even know if it's on the market, but the Coke Blak that was supposed to be coffee and coke or something like that.
Tasted like burnt sugar to me - not even like strong coffee. It was nasty.
