30 People Who Sadly Lost The Food Lottery And Shared Their Unfortunate Pics Online

Most of us don’t like to gamble with our food. If the noodles that have been sitting in your fridge for over a week are starting to smell like kimchi, it’s probably time to toss them out. And if you find yourself scraping mold out of your jam jar, it’s time to simply make some more.

I’ve Heard Of A Double Yolk But Never A No Yolk

Unfortunately in life, if there’s an opportunity to get lucky, there’s always going to be a chance that you’ll get unlucky as well. And apparently, we’re playing the lottery every single day when we crack open an egg or pop open a bag of chips. If you’re not familiar with this idea, we’ll let theFood Lotterysubreddit explain it in their own words.“Have you ever experienced either end of the food lottery?” the community’s About section asks. “Winning the food lottery means you got lucky with your food (for example, getting two yolks in an egg instead of one). Losing the food lottery would mean the opposite (for example, a pack of M&Ms only had one M&M in it). If you experience any of these, take a picture and post it here!”

This online group has only been around since 2018, but it has already amassed over 6k members who are happy to share their good fortune and their disappointing luck in terms of food items every day. Common tags for photos in the subreddit are lucky, unique, double the food, supersize and unlucky.Unfortunately, today we’ll just be focusing on those members who had the worst luck when unwrapping their edible items. But considering how much we eat, it makes sense that we’re all bound to have some bad luck at one point or another. According toGood Seed Ventures, the average person consumes about 1,488 pounds (or 675 kg) of food per year, or approximately 4 pounds (1.85 kg) per day.

Wtf Is This

Among the most commonly consumed food items in the world are milk, wheat, potatoes, sugar, chicken, rice, yams, seafood and maize. But there’s no question that we’re eating plenty of processed food nowadays too. In fact,Food Tankreports that a whopping 73% of the food supply in the United States is ultra-processed, meaning that they are “hyper-palatable ‘industrial formulations’ that stray from their organic origins.” Meanwhile, in the UK, residents are eatingfour times morepackaged food than fresh food. And while it’s possible to win the food lottery from getting 3 yolks in one egg, you’re more likely to win (or lose) when you’re consuming something in a package that you couldn’t see until you opened it up.

It’s understandable that mistakes happen anywhere and everywhere, but it’s still disappointing when you open a box of Pop-Tarts to find only one in each foil pack. Luckily, many companies are happy to reimburse customers or make up for their errors if consumers aren’t satisfied with what they received. For example, on theFrito Lay website, unhappy customers can file a complaint about the quality of the product they received. And if you’re willing to go through all of the effort to explain your disappointment in a product, the company will likely be happy to send you a new bag of chips to make up for it.

Winning the food lottery might not be quite as exciting as winning theactuallottery, but it can still be fun to realize that you got more than you paid for. On the other hand, it can be extremely disappointing to find out that you received less than what you bargained for. So if you want to help your odds of winning the edible lottery, there are a few ways you can do so. First, try to primarily buy food that you can actually see through its packaging. This can minimize the element of surprise when you go to actually open the product.

If you want to decrease your chances of losing the food lottery, you should also remember to always check expiration dates on products. Even if you bought something yesterday, there’s always a small chance that it expired on that day (or before!). Be sure to check dates to ensure that you’re getting the freshest products possible. And if you’re getting a bag of chips, you might want to try shaking it around to ensure that it’s not just air waiting for you inside.
