Annie Chun's Pad Thai Noodles are an EGREGIOUS RIP-OFF!!!

[trof]

We were in a grocery in Virginia and Miz t. is always on the lookout for stuff we can't get at our local Winn-Dixie down here in LA*.

"Annie Chun's Original Pad Thai Noodles".
Sounds good.
We like pad thai.

Thawed some shrimp and got the box of "pad thai" noodles out.
Thought it would have pad thai sauce packet or something.
Nope.
8 oz. of rice noodles.
That's it.
For $3.35.
Recipe on the side panel for pad thai sauce if you just happen to have all the ingredients.
Or want to go out now and buy them.

I call RIP-OFF!!!
Even at Winn-Dixie I can get a 12 oz. package of rice noodles for less than a buck.

1. And I am SOOOO pissed*.

I'm gonna keep this going until we have a DU MOVEMENT!

DOWN WITH ANNIE CHUN!

*Angry, not intoxicated.
For our Brit friends.

2. I don't care if no one else cares.

I. Am. Pissed.

8. Did you turn the box over and over again, looking for the contents

wondering how the fuck you managed to get the only box in the store without the packet of sauce? Her mixes have always come with sauce.

3. ...

:rofl:

This is the best thread I've read all day. :D :toast:

[trof]

4. Oh, come ON.

You must've seen something better than this rant?

[dolo amber]

5. No, not really

I've felt like this many times, came to DU to vent and had the same response you apparently got. The reason it's funny is cos you're COMMITTED, man! :D :thumbsup:

6. DAMNED, effing, RIGHT I am.

I sent a flamer to her website.

7. I bought a box of those once.

It was only 99 cents, and they had them at the checkout counter so I didn't look too closely.

I was pissed too.

But I only paid 99 cents. :P

[trof]

9. OK. Now I'm REALLY CHAPPED!

This was a friggin' IGA, fer chrissakes, in Bumf*ck freakin' VIRGINIA.
I feel violated.
:-(

[trof]

10. Did I mention that I'm ANNOYED?

Well, I AM.

11. Trof, trof ...

Is something bothering you? :shrug: Your post is so ambiguous. Something about noodles ... If you're upset, you should come out and SAY so.

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. That is bullshit - pricewise, for sure.

Though it does say "pad thai noodles" and not just "pad thai", so I'm not quite willing to allow for a false advertising.

I am, however, perfectly willing to allow that it's bullshit to charge $3+ for a pack of noodles. Pure bullshit.

And Annie Chung's stuff sucks anyway, so I call for a DU movement as well!
