Winning the food lottery? That's probably the best feeling in the world. Losing it, however, is more painful than your empty stomach could ever imagine.

We're not just talking about a bag of chips that turns out to be mostly air inside, or an iced coffee that's just a cup of ice with a splash of coffee. These are people who suffered the most devastating of dupes; warped fruit, distorted chocolate bars, and possibly the most heinous of them all, lemon-flavored candy. Whoever let these sad excuses for food leave the factory should be in prison.

If you think we're being dramatic, see how unkind the food lottery has been to a selection of poor souls below, and proceed with caution the next time you play.

I'd crumble it and then save it. I would sprinkle on popcorn, baked potatoes, broccolli and whatever else I could think of.

I think a quote by Cave Johnson fits this situation: "When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad!"

It's pretty leggy, which means it's probably not getting enough sun to produce well.

One thing you should NEVER be frugal about is the quality of your food- especially meat! It can make you very sick!!

Lmao ok I had no idea they sold meat like this at the dollar store 😬😬😬 Am I the only one who feels like it would dissolve if you put it in a bowl of hot water and stirred? 😂😂😂 One thing I have learned about grocery shopping as an adult....There's just some things you're gonna want to pay a bit more for, meat is definitely one of them because quality wise you're getting what you pay for. Meat has gotten expensive since I was a kid in the 90s. Especially chicken. But I would much rather occasionally splurge on buying and eating good quality meat than eat garbage like this sorry excuse for meat on a daily basis. But that's just my personal preference. Whatever floats your boat. Or bloats your goat.

Listen up people. NEVER EVER EVER BUY FOOD FROM THE DOLLAR STORE! I have heard of people getting food poisoning from eating the food from there. There are no regulations for food safety there and most of the products are shipped in from China. Always read the labels. Please!

Aw man that sucks, but to be fair, those steaks have a clear window on purpose. I've also seen those dollar store steaks, and buy stuff from the dollar store freezer section all the time, never ran into an issue before. XD

That is utterly disgusting. To be fair though, you can get small pieces of frozen salmon or white fish that make a healthy lunch. Better for you than meat....particularly non existent meat.

The steak itself doesn't look bad (just see how they package the really fancy cuts!) but you could chop up the yucky string stuff, and somehow cook that and eat it mixed with a salad or something?
