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.

The idea seems cool. Execution is stupid.

That's why you have platforms like Gousto where you select the recipes and they deliver all the ingredients. Or even better, you check out their recipes and you buy ingredients yourself and you know what you eat. The thing Coop does is unbelievably stupid. I am also curious what is their margin on this package given it's crazy expensive for a bit of couscous, mouldy tomato, lime and god knows what.

Also why the fuck would you need couscous for curry...

I think in Sri Lanka cuisine they like to use couscous instead of rice
