We need to make this kind of packaging a thing of the past.

Ow. I feel it.

I mean they do get rid of mistakes. You just have to keep "erasing" until you have a hole in your paper and Ta Da mistake is gone!

Grr…the pain is real

I don't see anything wrong with this picture

Yep, especially when it happens when you try to wash something that is placed above you shoulder level and the water runs from the brush and down your arm and soaks the entire sleave.

When something that's permanently attached to you gets stuck in the zipper - but that's probably more than 'mildly infuriating'

Always happens to me when I'm angry to p**s me off even more. Murphy's Law I guess

this can is cursed...must have some kind of demon in it

Didn't the "blueberries" taste a little off?

Could be worse. I've had plastic stretch wrap do that.

I've had this happen. To fix it, I pull the drawstring out entirely and tie a paperclip to one end. Then I gradually work the paperclip end through by bunching and squeezing until it comes out the other side.

I'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion, but this susally means there was an emergency. Unfortunately, medical stuff cannot always be scheduled. Then again, getting rid of Mabel and her myriad of trivial complaints takes a lot of time too.

Hahaaa, it happened to me. A friend brough me a fridge magnet that looks like a very realistic chocolate candy. Reached for it several times, then remembered it can't be eaten :)))

When I was younger, I'd pretend that I was turning into a robot whenever this happened.

Hate it.

It looks like one of those pictures the police will post after they raided some druglord

Reduce the price to clear on the last day. Give any leftovers away to homeless!

Instead of throwing it away, why not donate it to a homeless shelter or a food bank?

We have Foodbank in Australia, where shops donate left overs and it is sold for a pittance to people doing it tough.

I hear the dumpsters at Walmart are packed to the brim sometimes with items that aren't even out of date going right into a landfill and it makes me feel funny knowing that most of the grocery chains are doing this.

Just go to the nearest park, if the homeless do not take them the birds will.

(un)Fun fact: There's a lot of microplastics in pork from large farms because when they feed old bread to pigs to "prevent waste" it's a lot of effort to individually unwrap each loaf, so they're often funneled in whole. The pigs eat the plastic and bread alike and it gets broken down more and more every time until microplastics can be found throughout the whole body, including muscular tissue.

Why can't it be taken to a homeless shelter or ???? My grocer burns theirs

Talk to the store manager lots of people will still eat it. Donate it to a charity. They use to do this in Texas.

For ducks or others😅🦆🦢🪿

It really is outrageous, isn't it? A great waste that could be put to better use if distributed to the poor, used for compost, had its order requisition by the store cut in half, etc....

I'm sure people going hungry in other countries would love to see this waste.

Effing s h i t, at least give it to a food bank!

that's so sad

That's 1 hell of a banana bread stash going to waste! Seriously, what a crime tho!!!!

My church used to have one day a week where we would collect any leftover bread from the bakery to donate to those that needed it. Other charity groups had the other days. We would bag it all up and freeze it so that people could collect it, either from the drop in centre or when they came for the weekly free lunch.

So many people could eat this!

FOOD BANK. Don't know what the laws about leftover unopened food where you are, but the amount of food waste from your average, everyday elementary school cafeteria makes me positively ill.

Food bank donations.

Take to shelter

Some stores around here donate the older bread to the Salvation Army, so it doesn't get wasted.

I hope it doesn't actually get thrown away. There used to be a bread store where I live and when it was past the sellable date, it went to a farm to be used for whatever animal they feed it to. Or some food banks take bread past the sell by date I'm pretty sure

I worked a hugely popular TX grocery store and am completely disgusted with the dumpsters of food they throw away daily!

Why isn't this donated to the food bank??????????

Shame, that Danish ryebread is delightful. Looks like that is in Sweden. Supermarkets lock up their dumpster so people can rescue the food.☹

Buy it and freeze it. Then defrost as needed. Simple.

Crimial

It's not thrown away. Some person will collect and distribute it. To the homeless or if they don't want it then to friends, or if they don't want it then to animal feed. Or if they still don't want it then to mulch. Very little actually gets wasted.
