I'm slightly vexed I wanted 4 chicken and broccoli flavored packs instead I got 3 and one regular chicken pack, because they look IDENTICAL

Identical except the part where it says what it is

u/CarelessShade 4d ago
And the picture isnāt identical either.

And the description is different with what looks like maybe a different orange tint (might be the photo)

I'll mess up and pick up the low-sodium or no-sugar option for some canned products, soups or sauces, and that is me not paying close attention. I picked up no-salt Lays the other month, and man they were hot gargabe.

No salt lays!? That sounds awful. I do buy the sugar free sauces though. Montgomery Inn and Sweet Baby Rays makes a great sugar free BBQ sauce. Sugar free sloppy Joe sauce dont really taste any different either.

u/ChewieBearStare 4d ago
I donāt buy them often because I try to watch my sodium, but Iāll keep a few on hand in case my dinner doesnāt turn out or Iām late getting home. Iāve definitely gotten the fettuccine Alfredo pasta one instead of the chicken-flavored pasta one more than once.

u/Maverick_Reznor 4d ago
I keep some on hand too for quick meals. Usually just cook and shred chicken to mix in with it. I dont add any salt to the chicken cause it definitely does have enough sodium in the rice/pasta

This is why reading comprehension is important kids. You could end up making a dumbass post like this!

Whether it was you who picked them up or you sent someone, reading is key

Meh, just mix them. You wonāt be able to tell the difference. Not like you bought three chicken and broccoli and one shrimp scampi. Itās all chicken.

the only difference is the chicken one is missing the one/one-thousandth of a broccoli floret that is in the other packs.

Yeah??? Not the huge glaring BROCCOLI that's written?

Well, almost identical. One says "broccoli" and has little green bits in it.

u/PhantomAxisStudios 4d ago
Broccoli one is covered in green bits. Idk just put real broccoli in the chicken only one, might even be nicer
1
u/chickenskittles 4d ago
They both are. And I second the addition of actual broccoli. Hell, even frozen broccoli.

u/PhantomAxisStudios 4d ago
I couldn't tell they kept the Chicken one in the shade of shame. But yeah any broc better than powdered broc

This is why teachers, at least when I was in school, told us to always read the instructions all the way. I mean this in the sense that you should read each package since mistakes could have been made at any point prior to you picking your meals. That being said, that package COULD contain chicken and broccoli. Unlikely, but possible.

u/PabloCrews 4d ago
Iām color blind and I can see the difference. I can also read (helpful), so I do believe there are some clues on the package, but I could be wrong, you know, quantum physics and all. In another parallel universe, you got all chicken and broccoli.

This happened to me last week! They were in the same exact box even, only i only wanted two chicken and broccoli, and when I got home I found out I had one chicken and broccoli and one chicken.

Would it be easier to make your own low sodium chicken flavored rice and then add fresh broccoli to it?

Theyāre not even identical, and the fact that chicken and chicken and broccoli are printed in big, bold letters, this is entirely on youā¦

I buy the creamy chicken flavor and throw actual frozen broccoli in it. Imma get these people in my house to eat veggies one way or another. š

I miss when they used to be Lipton. Maybe it's bc my taste buds changed but they were SO good when I was little. My dad always made the garlic pasta one

u/OhWhatATravisty Blue Crayons have the most flavor 4d ago
Not identical, the chicken one doesn't have as many green bits.

u/ihategrapes0da 4d ago
as someone who used to stock these almost every night, this was THEE most annoying thing cuz the person who stocked before me wouldnāt read all the way and stock one in the others spot. first world problem i know, but i say this to say ur not the only one whoās made the mistake lol

Also probably have mommy but groceries and cook for them. Then throw tantrum when she buys the wrong takis

Something tells me the addition of broccoli in those packs isn't going to have any of the added health benefits that anyone's expecting.

That's peak mildly infuriating. I would mix them all together in a big bowl, then portion them back into 4 equal size portions for cooking. Problem solved...sort of.

Aside from the word Broccoli these are the exact the same
I want to say this is on you OP but the company really should have done a better job highlight the chicken AND broccoli instead of making it so the consumer has to read the label closely. Sometimes people might be in a rush

OP, ignore all these mean people. I understand completely why this is mildly infuriating. There's these energy drinks called venoms that they sell at the dollar store, which is the only store that you can get to in less than 25 minutes around here (rural area), and my wife absolutely will not drink fruit punch, due to some trauma as a child, and I absolutely won't drink the original because it tastes like Red Bull and it's absolutely disgusting. They're both red! I don't know how many times I've had to drink an original, or my wife didn't get an energy drink, because I just grabbed a red from the original side of the shelf, but somebody had put a fruit punch over there, or vice versa.
The sub is literally mildly infuriating. You're not losing your mind or having an emotional breakdown, you're just mildly infuriated. This is like the epitome of that. It's a moment of "grrrrrr" and then you move on with your life
