1. Mini CucumbersUser @livinlrginchitwn started a thread in the Costco subreddit, asking, “What’s the worst item you get and will stop getting from Costco?” and generated over 3,000 responses from superfans. One of the most popular answers? “Those danged mini cucumbers,” which was first suggested by @squid_biscuits.
“You can take your time picking the most firm, fresh bag and they will be growing more fuzzy hair than Willie Nelson by the time you get them out of the car,” they wrote, earning over 500 upvotes.
“They’re moldy in less than 24hrs,” another user agreed, replying to the comment. “I feel like they used to last like a week.”
Unfortunately, this one has pretty bad reviews from customers as well. “So stinky I flushed my bowl down the toilet and my wife ran hers down the garbage disposal,” one person described the warm delicacy as.
“I bought the lobster bisque thinking it would be savory and smell great,” replied another customer. “NOPE. Smelled fishy, and it tasted like sweetened lobster pudding soup. Gross.”
“I hated it as well,” offered up a third person. “I was incredibly bummed.”
