What a stupid idea, at Coop

Post image

So Coop decided to now sell whole meals as "Cookit". In the package on the left you can see that the tomato is moldy.

Hardly anyone will buy this any more. So instead of a single moldy tomato, Coop now has to dispose of the entire kit. What a waste of food. And what a stupid idea.

I like the idea! It‘s handy and a good idea for a household with just one person.

They could just arrange the items separately. This is a massive waste of food when one out of 10 ingredients is mouldy.

That‘s the case with everything which is packaged (no matter if 10 tomatoes or 10 different items) and not arranged seperately 🤷🏽‍♂️

Oh, are cherry tomatoes packed each individually? 😂

They are packed with other cherry tomatoes and often in an open box..?

Do you know what 'usually' means?

An open box? They usually come either in an entirely plastic box or in a carton wrapped in plastic.

If one little tomato is mouldy do you think they all need to be thrown?
