You know when you get a product and it fails you miserably?

Have you ever received something, been excited over it’s purchase, or getting that GWP, or even that certain something that comes free with a magazine, only to be completely, totally and utterly disappointed? Particularly when it was a high quality brand name, high touted product, something coveted, highly publicised, and it’s nothing but a complete and utter failure?

Or even when you’ve gone to the supermarket, and bought something simple, an everyday product, and it’s gone to pot when you’ve just gotten home?

We’ve all had those fails.

    I bought a NYX lipstick as it had good reviews, inexpensive and made in the USA , but even though colour was nice , the lipstick is way too soft and it even melts onto the lip holder making it a mess all the time It just doesn’t stay so this one doesn’t suit me at all. It is good for my dry lips though which perhaps mean the moisture content maybe high .. mm

    Oh yuck! Makes me never want to eat at any restaurants ever again!

    This was several years ago now but, I once ordered a burger from Hungry Jacks and inside of it was a band-aid. Needless to say, I never went back to THAT place again.

    More recently, I was eating away at some grapes…when I noticed a yucky black spider had made it’s home in one of the bunches!
    I didn’t hang around long enough to take a picture :p

    You poor thing, I bet you were looking forward to a nice healthy salad too. I remember taking my daughter to a high end hotel for lunch and when they set the plate down with her food there was a very large cockroach under the lettuce….we have never been back even though they did say we could come back for a free lunch. Makes me shiver whenever I remember it.

    This has to be the grossest dinner experience by far and this only happened a few days ago. We actually have video of this however I can’t share that.

    On Thursday my husband, brother-in-law and his new wife ordered some delivery. Per the picture, this ‘friendly’ little addition was on my fork on the way to my mouth before I saw it begin to unfurl. I am not kidding, this is no joke. The irony is, I ordered all vegetarian.

    We have yet to receive feedback from the restaurant, however we have already received close to 700 views on the video in the past 24 hours (where we are cussing up a storm).

    Still traumatised.

    I had gone to a British pub once years ago (it has since closed down, probably with good reason), and I had ordered a salmon pasta dish. With my first bite of pasta wound around the fork, there was a long red hair in along the spaghetti. I took the bowl, fork and wound up hair into the kitchen and asked for the redhead and thanked her for my creamy hair spaghetti with a side of salmon. Needless to say they didn’t charge me for my meal and gave me a new one. I still didn’t eat it and I didn’t ever go back.

    For the life of me I can’t remember the name of that pub.

    Aww man, I came here thinking I’d read about products that don’t do what they say or cause a reaction. Not going to have that second piece of chocolate now… haha

    I must stop coming and reading the comments here, but I can’t help it, but I do check if it’s too gross for me to read in full 🙂

    Not a product fail, more a service fail.

    We where in a bakery getting some treats, when a man came up to the counter with a half eaten pie and said he didn’t have enough sauce, the girl handed him the sauce squeeze thing and he proceeded to jab it in his open pie (where he had taken bites from!!!) gross.
