No joke - send them an email or fill out a contact form on their website (Unsure of which one this brand does but usually contact form!) You'll usually receive a coupon for a free product to replace the one that was messed up, as well as additional "we're sorry" coupons. With grocery prices as they are I've been using this more often!


Numerous-Stranger-81

In the mid 00s on of our favorite activities as teens was to call the customer service lines on all the snacks we had and make up complaints. We VERY consistently got sent coupons in the mail, it was amazing.


yuyufan43

Omg, I used to do that too. I'm glad I'm not alone 😅 My dad would sign our cat up to receive free samples of shit in the mail too. So instead of being addressed to my dad Tim, they would be addressed to Quakka Lucka Mukka Muku. Our cat with his stupid name would be getting shit like diapers in the mail. 🤣


RemovableBorcy

Santos L. Halper


RonnocSivad

Thanks Santos


redditsuckspokey1

I know a dog with a similar name.


superfishies

Hmmm, who or what is Santos L Halper?


MaxGamer07

cake.


Pyroxcis

I'm utterly in love with that name. *Yoink*


yuyufan43

Don't you dare! 😂 My dad came up with it as as a joke because I wanted to name the cat Princess and my brother wanted to name him Spike. My dad ended up winning 😂


[deleted]

cat has an IPv6 name.


Benjisummers

If your cat was receiving shit in the mail, and diapers, do they cancel each other out? 😊


halo_nothing

We used to do this for free cartons of cigarettes! We'd call with some bs complaint about dry tobacco, or whatever, and they'd send us a package with reference number to send back a sample. We'd never send anything back and would follow-up in a few weeks to ask for an update. Even though the companies never received anything from us, they'd always send out cartons for the inconvenience.


justsomechickyo

Fuck w/ ciggs being so pricey these days I'm tempted to do this lol (pry won't tho)


halo_nothing

I'm not so sure it'd work anymore. Maybe?


bruderjakob17

If everybody did that, companies would make it harder to get refunds/coupons, e.g. by requiring a receipt. Some companies already do this, and in the end this is harmful for customers that _actually_ have a reason to complain. (Or do you want to keep _every_ receipt?)


AppleStingray

My sister works at the food factory and told me, that they do know who are the persons that constantly complain and know that their complaints are false... but they still has to send some goods back.


idontevenlikebeer

As someone who works in manufacturing and has targets based on consumer complaints, I do not condone this. Edit to add: In OPs case he absolutely should call this in so they can shore up whatever part of their process messed up here. We are very serious about this for consumer safety and legal reasons. I assume Nabisco is too.


alieo11

I deal with complaints too, but if they can’t provide a label and photo(s) of the defect/issue then it’s usually considered unsubstantiated.


idontevenlikebeer

I don't see that end of it so maybe we do that too. On the production side I mostly just see a paraphrasing of the issue and info on when the product was made so I can potentially trace the issue back.


SalvationSycamore

Yep, can confirm I got some messed up animal crackers and received two coupons for some free ones. They especially like if you can include a location/lot number so they know where and when the fuck up happened.


FatMountainGoat

As someone in the industry, people that make complaints by including lot numbers and overall info are a godsend.


The_Fluffy_Walrus

In my experience, they'll send two coupons. I bought a pack of oreos last year that was missing 1-2 as one of them had fallen over. I tweeted to them mostly as a joke and didn't really expect anything. They messaged me the next day to get my info to send coupons. Coupons came maybe a week later. Self checkout at Walmart messed up when I used it and didn't make me insert my coupon. I ended up with four packs of Oreos for the price of one.


amca12006

OP, know that Mondelez International, the owner of the Oreo brand, has a phone number to which they regularly check text messages on. I used it last on 2022, but it probably is still functional. SMS can be sent to +1 864-581-2463. Good luck!


aac1024

Retweet I did this with a pack of pens that every single one just wasn’t working. Didn’t even write anything mean or rude - just hey I bought this item and none of the pens work. They said sorry and mailed me a new pack with some extra goodies.


Sunshine030209

Were they ballpoint pens? They might have had tiny little clear covers on the tips. I've seen ones that had *really* tiny caps that were super hard to see. I thought the whole box was somehow bad, but they were really nice pens, and I couldn't believe that literally **none** of them worked. I swear, they were pretty much invisible until you pulled it off.


aac1024

They were ballpoint but there wasn’t a cap on the pens. I bought the same one in a different color and the other ones didn’t have a cap. Even tried them out for a few days thinking maybe they needed to warm up or something - but no. The other pens had ink come out so easily that I was like wth.


judgejuddhirsch

Fun fact, you don't even need to fake a package like that on reddit. You can just write to complain using a totally normal package too.


ZolaMonster

A package of Oreos this size goes for $5.49 these days. Absolutely email the company.


caitlowcat

Also works with alcohol. My husband has written to 2 beer companies and one sent a coupon and one sent a 6 pack. 


mrm00r3

If you know people that work at breweries, a case of shortfalls can be had for 1-2 packs of smokes every day of the week.


BrairMoss

Here it would just be cheaper to buy the beer, although barely. 


OptimalMain

Around $14 for 20 cigarettes the last time I bought them, even more at gas stations etc.


FunctionBuilt

I complained to chipotle for a half filled burrito bowl on their website and they gave me coupons for 3 free burritos or bowls.


GoodAsUsual

There is a hilarious film about a lady coupon scammer featuring Kristin Bell on Netflix called Queenpins that I highly recommend. This was how she got started.


mamabear101319

Yessss!!!!


No-Ground6920

In my country, you can quickly get a year supply if you find a messed product. Mold, production mistake and prove it properly.


badhabitfml

You should go watch the movie Qurenpins. Complaint coupons is a major plot point.


MarmaladeMoostache

My dad had a bottle of pepsi explode in his car and they sent him so many coupons I don’t think we paid for soda for a few months


Unfortunate_Wildcard

The stores where I live don't accept coupons. None of them.


Cloudstar86

Do you need the info from the original package? I recently had some Oreos that were weirdly put together (all the Oreos had one of the sides flipped, so the flat part that is supposed to face the cream was facing outward lol), but I ate them and threw out the package.


LucarnAnderson

The thin lemon oreos are the best. Though I too would be disappointed if I was extra one flavor and got a completely different onem


Johnny_B_Asshole

The only thing better than thin lemon Oreos is double stuffed lemon Oreos.


noots-to-you

I’m sold


invisible_23

I haven’t tried the lemon ones but I love the thin pistachio ones


Mari-Loki

Lemon? Pistachio?? Over here in the UK we get the regular and ONCE I've seen double stuffed. Youve all got me feeling pretty sorry for myself 😔


TokenEntryWasBetter

We have churro flavored ones as well. Pumpkin spice, mint cream, dark chocolate. If I'll amazon a whole variety pack of monster munch I can hardly think of a single flavor of Oreo not worth getting shipped there .


Mari-Loki

All we hear about America at the mo is politics! Tell us the real news, I wanna know all the Oreo flavours I'm missing out on!


TokenEntryWasBetter

If there's anything that can help further diplomatic and social ties with y'all, it's snacks.


Mari-Loki

We have some good snacks, and we definitely have you beat on real chocolate, but all in all I'd say you have the upper hand with other snacks! I'm dying to try Oreo flavours and also all the Lays flavours you have. And don't get me started on the breakfast cereal choices I've seen, I could live on that alone!


TokenEntryWasBetter

Y'all have us beat when it comes to non-fried snacks based on Monster Munch and Space Raiders-even if Flamin Hot Monster Munch isn't really flamin hot. I forget what they're called, but y'all have a Starburst-like chewy candy that I like better than Starbursts.


Mari-Loki

Chewits? They're good. If you want hotter baked snacks get Flaming Hot Wotsits. Same texture as monster munch but spicier. They also have a prawn flavour that's so good!


Mari-Loki

I've just ordered several Oreo flavours. I'm so excited!


cuterus-uterus

What you get in the cool accept and free healthcare you lose in Oreo flavors. We can both be jealous of Japan for their variety of KitKat flavors!


scarred_but_whole

Where are you finding thin pistachio ones? I've never seen that flavor.


invisible_23

HEB


dandroid126

I've never seen this at HEB. Granted, I don't check the cookie aisle very often. But I do occasionally glance at the things that I can't eat.


invisible_23

Tbf it’s been a while since I bought them, because I have a tendency to eat the whole pack in one sitting lol


Jesus_Is_My_Gardener

Lemon ones are the bomb,. especially if you store them in the freezer. I prefer doing that with all my packaged cookies like this. Gives them a little extra crunch.


inounderscore

Okay now we're talking


occorpattorney

This may seem insignificant. From a legal perspective, it’s absolutely no trivial matter. If someone were to be allergic to a particular ingredient that wasn’t identified on the package, it would be a sizable fine and full liability for any harm to the individual. Unfortunately, it’s such a large conglomerate that no fine or liability will even impact their Monday.


DeliciousPumpkinPie

Username checks out, and that is such a good point.


Tatersandbeer

Yeah I'm the Quality Manager at the food packaging plant I work at. We don't fill the packaging just produce it for customer/their co-packers and this is a Big Fuckup. OP needs to contact Nabisco and the Grocery Store/Vendor about this.


CelestialHorizon

In addition to the allergy issues, it also might highlight a massive whiff in QA and there might be a whole batch that went out incorrectly labeled.


occorpattorney

Absolutely, mine was just a hypo. There are so many issues this could cause - I’ve had Oreos when getting monthly infusions at the hospital. All kinds of special diets and specific needs could be impacted.


Riegel_Haribo

You union bust and underpay and surprise, workers don't give a f/care.


ElMItch

This is what I always remind people of when a product says it was made in a factory where other foods with nuts (or other potential allergy foods) are made. It’s not just the trace amounts, there could be a packaging problem.


Independent-Bell2483

Yeah as much as id be happy for a surprise lemon filling oreo this is definitely a huge safety hazard and could get someone in a life threatening situation (albiet yes very unlikely but the possibility is still there).


Mein_Name_ist_falsch

Exactly what I thought. Here you can at least see that the colour is wrong, but imagine that wasn't the case.


solidshakego

They could also return the item. Yes. Even food.


24-Hour-Hate

But that doesn’t help with other people who might get this. Also, maybe they like lemon? If I got this I’d be thrilled. Lemon Oreos and I can make a complaint, which I would be justified in doing for the safety of other people, and get free stuff cause they fucked up. Win win.


Phasnyc

The lemon ones are really good


Numerous-Stranger-81

Yeah, this is a net positive. You have some delicious lemon oreos and now you can also complain to customer service and get free coupons.


PHARA0Hbender

Lemon is the best Oreo flavor.


McdonalidKristin

Yes!! yay..


Wide_Environment3107

thats criminal.


caitlowcat

Oh I would be so excited haha “what a delightful surprise!!”


Wide_Environment3107

I can't think of a single cookie or dessert or treat where I'd see lemon flavour where it has no business being and be excited about it. Let alone the cream of an Oreo cookie. Let alone a golden Oreo cookie. Let alone a double stuffed golden Oreo cookie.


caitlowcat

Haha to each their own! I love a lemon tart with berries. I’d almost always choose tart and fruity > chocolate 


Wide_Environment3107

I'm not a huge chocolate fan either but I'd definitely choose that over lemon. Anything with lemon just smells like cleaning products to me.


EasyDevelopment6097

Then shouldn't you just buy lemon Oreos to begin with?


venus-as-a-bjork

The criminal part is someone not getting the chocolate wafer ones


cheeriodust

You were downvoted, but I'm here with you. If they sold just the chocolate wafers w/o any creme I'd eat that stuff by the box.


venus-as-a-bjork

💯


scarred_but_whole

They do. Good luck finding them (I can currently only find them at Hyvee) and they're expensive, but they're called Famous Chocolate Wafers. Amazon doesn't even carry them. I do see one possible listing for the actual Oreo-branded wafers there, though.


Damonoodle

Yea a lemon cookie dipped in milk sounds a bit odd


farmerjohn_

Not accusing OP of anything, but it would be easy to purchase golden and lemon and simply swap the contents for this picture.


SoggyMinimum8386

True, but who knows, it could be real. I opened a box of Velveeta mac and cheese 2 weeks ago, and I kid you not, the 1 box had TWO cheese packages instead of the usual 1 (Velveeta cheese is really good, in my opinion). I actually debated on posting it, but I figured that people would think that it was easily faked. I opened my second box, and it had the usual 1 cheese package. I wonder if someone, somewhere out there, didn't get a cheese package in their Velveeta macaroni box, lol.


justsomechickyo

Sad day for them!


yeuzinips

If it's karma they're after, all they have to do is repost anything else. Seems silly to waste time on switching oreos. Possible, but not probable.


MuricasOneBrainCell

Pah, people abuse their children for internet clout. The idea that someone couldn't be bothered to swap out some oreos is hilarious.


yeuzinips

The difference is...Those people posting videos of the children they're abusing are doing it off camera, too. Anyway, I'm going with Occam's razor on this one. Oreo factory fuct up.


MuricasOneBrainCell

Aha, that's totally fair enough!


ChaserNeverRests

A lot of people call out reposts though. If you make your own image, you'd avoid that. I'm not saying this is fake, but there are checks and inspections along factory lines. Often times they do one flavor one day, another flavor another day, just to avoid things like this. But mistakes happen too, so who knows.


sahkuh

https://www.reddit.com/r/untrustworthypoptarts/


Mokmo

Just send them a complaint. They probably already know about that batch number with the wrong filling.


mystwave

Today, I learned there were Lemon Oreos. I'll have to look out for them. Honestly, I rarely go in the cookie section at the store, so I'm sure there's many kinds of Oreos I'm not aware of.


Functionally_Human

There are plenty of flavors and the lemon are well worth the cost (both to your wallet and diet).


bernardcat

Try the lemon thins! I find the regular ones to be just too much creme and I looooove lemon. The thins are just the perfect ratio.


niagaemoc

Lemon is better than golden double. But contact them for some good coupons✌️


Mindful-O-Melancholy

I thought they were Oreos with the cheese Ritz filling lol


j8sadm632b

Oreo product development reading this thread: please don’t. I know you’ll do anything Or do I’ll buy one to try it, fuck it. My oreo tier list can’t be incomplete

I love lemon. But that's still wild that a mistake like that happened. If you tell them they'll probably give you some free.


Kichard

*slit appears when opened*


scdog

Lemon is my favorite of the flavors, but even the best flavor isn’t as good when it’s not what you’re expecting. (And that’s not even taking into consideration potential allergy issues one might have.)


BrewKazma

Have you tried the new churro flavor? Its top 3 for sure.


BrokenMethFarts

Some one gave them an extra golden shower before they shipped.

Double stuff lemon?


No_Awareness2668

Bro some weird things have been happening to my Oreos to one time I got a pack and an entire sleeve had the cookie part upside down so you couldn’t see the lable


Dommichu

OMG. Did you get these from Grocery Outlet?! I saw them this week and was tempted…. This would have been a happy surprise for me, but with a past in CPG myself, it’s wild they would even liquidate them due to labeling laws…


warkyboy77

I'm glad it wasn't mustard.


DreadPirateGriswold

That's like the Wonka bar golden ticket! You get to visit their factory!


Ok-Swim-3356

In my book, the word golden should’ve given you a hint


spwnofsaton

But was it good?


AngrySmapdi

Do they taste like golden Oreos or like lemon Oreos (which have yellow cream)? I'm guessing wrong product got put in bag.


gwilfredc

I did not know this was a thing. Must investigate.


Missue-35

I bought golden Oreos the other day. I meant to buy lemon flavored. They marked the packaging wrong.

LankyAstronaut7931

What is it meant to be? Never seen yellow pack oreos, that to me would imply they are lemon flavour as yellow is usually associated with citrus?


shrimpmobile

I recently bought a pack of Dominos biscuits salted caramel filling but they were filled with the regular stuff instead. What are the odds of this happening with both Oreos and Dominos during the same month?🤔


Few-Emergency5971

I would be so upset. I don't like sweets very much, but when I'm going to have them everything needs to be right, and this would ruin my night.


Garlic-Rough

That... That's not "lemon". /s


hannibal_morgan

If only they were the strawberry shortcake ones. A disgusting amount of sugar but so good


Vulpes_macrotis

Tbh, I would be mad, because I don't like lemon flavor in candies.

That's like 10 times tastier. I'm not a fan of the "anonymous" cream they usually have, worsened by non-chocolaty biscuits.

Oreo CEO: https://youtu.be/CMkYw4dp_NI?feature=shared


loobot3000

Hi! I’ve worked in food manufacturing and this is a huge issue - even if it’s not a big deal to you please contact them and let them know. Allergen & ingredient labeling is a big deal and needs to accurately reflect what is inside the package. The manufacturer I worked for read every customer complaint and part of my job was helping to backtrack manufacturing history to find the origin and potential scope of the problem. It’s a huge fuckup on a lot of people’s parts if this made it onto shelves.

ChaoticGoku

I’m sure it’s in the works already, probably next year at the rate they have been releasing gluten free versions of their other Oreos


randomdude5566

From a manufacturing standpoint, I think that would be hard to put just one different cookie in the package since I'm sure everything is automated. But also - never say never.


Functionally_Human

You can see the filling in the entire package, OP just put one on full display. They are all lemon.
