Yesterday late after work I bought what I thought was blood orange juice from our swedish brand God Morgon juice (Good Morning juice).
But it wasn't. It was grapefruit juice.
Have you ever bought something with a completely different content than what's said on the package?
Should I tell someone? Should I go back to the supermarket with it? I like grapefruit juice too, but it wasn't what I expected.

Did you simply misread the packaging or did it actually say blood orange juice only to contain Grapefruit juice?

I bought a tin of paint from b&q last year to paint my bannister rail.
It was charcoal black which was ideal for the colour scheme on my landing.
Got home and opened the tin and it was bright orange.
Went back to swap it and turned out every tin had the wrong label on it.

Not acceptable.
You wanted blood orange - you must go back to the store and demand more, demand blood and sacrifice for your suffering.
Give them hell Musik!
To answer your question, no I don’t think I have.

I bought a net with "blood oranges" last year. When I got home I realised it was a mix, with one orange, two red grapefruits and the rest were blood oranges. |

I bought white radiator colour in September, and it was orange coloured on the surface at first. |

When I got married I though we both signed up to “to have and to hold”.
There had been plenty of “having” and “holding” before we got married and I’d thought that now it was official, there would be plenty more.
But no. It became strictly rationed from that day forth 🙁
So my answer to the question is yes. I didn’t quite get the content I signed up for.
(Although there were other bonuses which I didn’t anticipate)

I like grapefruit juice too, but it wasn't what I expected. People who have had strokes etc can't drink Grapefruit juice in some cases so might be an idea I once met a lady in Singapore who said she loved me long time but left after 20 mins and I never saw her again. I know how you feel Thanks you very much! I thought about that until after midnight and this morning again, since I knew grapefruit was very dangerous to some people, I'd read it somewhere. |

Thanks you very much! I thought about that until after midnight and this morning again, since I knew grapefruit was very dangerous to some people, I'd read it somewhere. I can't drink Grapefruit myself When the advice is "don't eat that" or "don't drink that" if your on this medical drug - the reason is normally that the food reinforces the effect of the medical drug, since it works the same way. No grapefruit if you're on medicine that lowers the blood pressure, for instance. My father's work colleague said he couldn't eat brocolli since he took some medicine to make his blood thinner. The same with some of the anti inflammatory drugs. I was told by the pharmacist most of the different brands they sell use ginger as one of the main ingredients or a modified version of it, in their products. Since I have a close to non-existing medical drug metabolism, I can only have food to treat myself. |

There are many allergies out there. Mine is very odd: water melon. I simply throw up from the smell of it. |

People who eat Turkish Delight are best avoided as just plain weird. Not a water melon fan but my Mrs eats them for breakfast. I often wake up to her melons. I hate all members of the Cucurbitaceae family apart from pickled gherkins 😍 |

For me it would simply be drinking a Greyhound instead of a Screwdriver.

Actually did a full allergy screen to try to rule out some medical bullshit my body was pulling.
All clear except for a very slight allergy to bananas.
I walk slightly faster through fruit and veg at the supermarket.
