Icon13 False advertisement

I've completely had it!

I'm sick, and tired of people claiming a product is something, and you find out it's a gimmick!

Check this crap out.

My wife, and I sat down a few minutes ago for a slice of "Seedless watermelon"

Look what the hell I found inside!

$2.99 for a seeded watermelon is almost TREASON here in the south!

I have a good mind to drive back to the grocery store, and show the store manager!

I can see where you went wrong. In your haste you misread the label. You bought the less seeds watermelon not the seedless variety.

Some farmer is raking in the $$$, and knows his watermelons have seeds. I think I'll call the Better Business Bureau

Seedless = less seeds in todays marketing.

Everyone missed the main point here.
Why did you BUY a watermelon, doesn't everyone in the South grow their own?

Let me just hope on my dog sled & see what my supermarket sells.

It's been over 12 hours since the seed incident.

The other half is in the fridge, but it's tainted........

I used to enjoy my melons, but this has been traumatic...

I feel like a complete victim.

When I pushed the grocery cart over to the watermellon boxes, I bet I was on camera, and everyone is laughing at corperate headquarters.

"Look at this fat guy! He's going to buy a freakin seeded melon for $1.00 extra. What a sucker!"

I read the sign, and it says "Juicy sweet seedless watermellons only $2.99 with shopper plus card"

I picked out a mellon not knowing it in fact did have seeds, and was fraudulent. I pushed that stupid thing around the entire grocery store only to discover later that it had 2 seeds inside.

If I had known it had freakin seeds, I would have purchased a bag of cherries, or plums. If I wanted seeds, I would have purchased them. No, I tried to enjoy my snack, and pay an extra buck for the lack of seeds. I could eat it as fast as I wanted, and enjoyed myself. But NOOOOOO......Some clown had to run a scam on me, and sell me a lie!

I'm loosing trust in humanity! It's all about money.....
