'My £2.49 Morrisons Too Good To Go bag contents made me feel physically sick'
A woman was left seriously disappointed when she eagerly opened a Too Good To Go bag from Morrisons Café, only to be left feeling 'sick' and with the 'heebie jeebies'
Too Good To Go bags are all the rage thanks to the fact that you can get nice food for a fraction of the normal price. But when one woman went to pick up her £2.49 'hot food' bag from Morrisons Café, she was left bitterly disappointed and feeling "sick" at what she found inside it.
Becky Chorlton thought she'd scored a cheap dinner with the bag, as she received two boxes within it, and was seriously excited to open them. But the first one she opened did not get her excited to rush home and eat it.
One of the boxes contained a vacuum-sealed chicken tikka masala alongside boil-in-the-bag rice, and she wasn't impressed.
In a video posted to her TikTok account, Becky, who has 415,000 followers, gasped: "Oh my God, what is that? That's so weird, what the hell?
"I'm not sure about that. That kind of gives me the heebie-jeebies".
Too Good To Go bags are a popular way to grab a mix of tasty, often freezer-safe meals at a bargain price while doing your bit to reduce food waste, but sometimes, they miss the mark of the customers' expectations because oftentimes, customers are unaware of how things are made behind the scenes.
Becky was grossed out, but she wanted to check out the second box and was desperately hoping that it would be something more delicious-looking than the first.
When she peeked inside the box, her mood instantly changed, as she spotted a whopping seven hash browns, three slabs of black pudding, and a mountain of sausages for her to tuck into on the spot.
In the comments, viewers were split with their opinions, as some were impressed at how cheap the boxes were and how good the value was, however, some were totally put off by the contents of the first box.
One commenter said: "I'd be the exact same with meat in a bag, even chicken in microwave meals can make me feel a bit dodgy sometimes".
"It's £2.49, be grateful," someone else urged, asking her to consider why she was disappointed with the first boxes' offering.
Another person said: "That's not bad at all – sure, the plastic pouches aren't appetising, but any food would look like that in a plastic pouch".
Morrisons has been contacted for comment.
It's not the first time Morrisons Café has come under fire for not meeting expectations. Senior Social News Reporter Danielle Kate Wroe picked up a £10 ingredients bag and was left flabbergasted at the contents, referring to them as 'insulting' as they were allegedly worth £30.
All it contained was:
2.5kg of mixed carrots and parsnips
2.5kg cauliflower gratin
4 sachets of nacho cheese
She wrote: "After opening the bag, I truly felt deflated. Obviously, I was doing this for a bit of fun - an experiment, if you will, to see whether the Morrisons Cafe bags really were as bad as some had made them out to be on TikTok.
"But it's no joke if you spend your hard-earned cash on something that's supposed to be worth £30 only to find that it's not even worth the tenner you spent on it".
When approached for comment regarding Danielle's issue, a spokesperson from Too Good To Go said: "We are committed to ensuring a positive experience for everyone who saves food with us. While food surplus is naturally unpredictable, we work closely with all of our partners to uphold quality and value standards.
"If users feel these haven't been met, we encourage them to contact Customer Care via the app so we can investigate and resolve the issue. We're sorry this Surprise Bag fell short and will be reminding the store of our minimum value requirements.
"While disappointing, cases like this represent a very small percentage of the thousands of bags we save every day as part of our mission to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together."

Simon Cowell sparks concern with outfit choice during London bike ride
Simon Cowell has baffled everyone with his bike-riding attire. The talent show judge was spotted by fans cruising around South London amid the heatwave, which has seen temperatures reach their hottest of the year thus far. But despite the 34°C blaze, which has seen health alerts issued across the country, Simon appeared to be dressing for a totally different season. Captured by TikTok user @plus44unrulyfluffy, the X Factor mogul cycled in Wandsworth wearing some weather-appropriate white shorts and a totally not weather-appropriate, erm, puffer jacket. The BGT judge completed his cycling look with his signature black shades. And he seemed more than happy to pause his ride for a chat with the group who just happened to be sitting in their car, window rolled down. Totally elated at the unexpected encounter, one guy behind the camera is heard declaring: 'Yes, Simon!' 'Are you really on your bike? I can't believe it,' a girl screamed. 'Why are you like this?', she asked him, to which Simon smiled: 'What?' 'On your bike, are you not scared?', she quizzed. 'Well, I got lost, but it is quicker,' Simon replied. 'Please, just go with God, OK?', the fan added as the hysterical interaction continued. 'I will, promise,' Simon beamed, flashing a wave and a thumbs up before cycling off. The whole situation was bananas, to say the least, and viewers in the comments were left in stitches, particularly given what he was wearing at a time when the rest of us are in tank tops and swimwear. 'why does he have a PUFFER jacket in this weather', wrote a puzzled @00unknownuser001. 'A puffer in this weather is crazy', echoed @dontreportedifuge. @kttnt_ added: 'whys he just out? no security? 😭' 'He seemed absolutely delighted with that interaction too 😭', laughed @northernchill12, with plenty of others loving how 'wholesome' it was. Equally amused, @simpleeeteee said: 'He stopped like he just saw his aunty and uncle in traffic tooo funny 😅' Others commented to say they've seen Simon out in the capital on his bike numerous times, just blending in with other commuters. He now rides with confidence; however, it took Simon a while to get back to leisurely cycling after an accident in 2020. The America's Got Talent judge broke his back in August that year after he fell off an electric bike that he was testing at his home in California. He required intense surgery, which included having a metal rod inserted into his back to stabilise it. Then, in 2022, Simon, who is a proud dad to 11-year-old Eric, suffered a second serious crash, after which he admitted he was 'lucky to survive'. Just 18 months after his first incident, Simon went over on the road near his west London home, having made a sharp turn around a corner in wet conditions and felt the bike go 'out from under' him. He was sent crashing to the ground, having been going at a speed of around 20mph. More Trending Simon was rushed to hospital and suffered a broken arm, a badly bruised cheek, and possible concussion. Thankfully, it did not lessen his love for riding, as, when asked if he would be giving up the hobby, he said in an interview later on: 'I'm still gonna stay on my bike. I'm obsessed with these things.' The ordeals also gave Simon a new outlook, as he later shared to The Sun that he 'was so close to living the rest of [his] life in a wheelchair.' 'It gives you a completely different outlook on life. In a positive way,' he said. 'It hurt—trust me—when it happened, but good things happened off the back of it.' Got a story?

She captioned her video, writing: "Social media Vs reality: Hot Air Balloon edition." The clips showed her looking comfortable while up in the air, fanning herself and at ease.

In further footage, Liberty shared further insight into her experience where she outlined an apparent lack of safety for her trip. Warning that she did not have a relaxing time, she revealed: "I didn't realise when you actually get into a hot air balloon, it's not upright." Giving a detailed description of what she went through, she continued: "You lay on the floor to get in. So you're actually not strapped in. Nothing. You have this tiny bit of rope to hold. "And as the hot air balloon goes up, the basket just sits up. But as you come down, you have to go the other way." Her description was interspliced with footage of her going up in the air and returning to earth. She revealed: "So we were told to basically just hold on to this rope and sit and crouch down to land." Going on to suggest she may not have had the safest overall experience, she added: "However, I don't know if that landing was normal." Liberty's account of her experience has drawn attention from fans over the weekend as a hot air balloon in Brasil caught fire while in the air. Horrifying footage went viral showing the giant balloon becoming engulfed in flames before plunging to the ground along with the basket full of visitors. Reports revealed that at least eight people died and 13 others were injured in the horror incident. The crash took place in Santa Catarina on Saturday and it was confirmed 21 people were on board including the pilot. Jorginho Mello, the Governor of Santa Catarina, shared his shock over the incident in a video that was posted on X following the disaster. He said: "We are in mourning. A tragedy has happened. We will see how it unfolds, what happened, why it happened. But the important thing now is for the state structure to do what it can."
