Strawberry cup?

A co-worker hit up the free samples one day at a warehouse grocery store. Did’nt take him long to ask his wife if she had an epipen as he was feeling the effects of his food allergies taking hold. He survived and swore off eating those free samples, or pretty much anything if he was’nt sure how it was prepared or what ingredients were in it because for him cross contamination was an issue.

I suppose now you would expect them to stop with the freebies. I don’t eat what I know to be on my forbidden list… but anyway, I am glad you are ok. These days, it only takes one to shut down thousands…

I never took such a free sample, and never will. Geez, food out in the open where any passerby could secretly contaminate it …?

Say can me haves another one too? Me theenks me is eats too queeckly the first one and no tasting it properly.

If it’s free … It’s for me ;-)

tastes so bad they have to give it away

There was a candid camera show here, where they when the victim started eating, quickly switched the sign to read ‘… of dog food.’

It’s always struck me as odd that most free samples are for products that have been around for years, rarely for new stuff.

Free samples are fun.

Costco has samples. Some are great but I’ve tried a few that were trash can material.

Free samples are the primary reason I go to Costco with my wife.

I am having to work SO HARD at disciplining myself not to stop for things people set out by the road, not to stop at garage sales, etc.

Nearly???

Maybe it’s vegemite. :)

Costco! And they wear gloves and put them in separate containers, it’s not a free for all where people reach into a bag with their hands!

Use to love going to Sam’s Club on ‘sample day’….

They never hand out free scotch sips.

“Free, free, free, free, free.”
