Costco customers are scratching their heads over a new Hershey product that is not meant to be eaten. At first glance, some shoppers thought it resembled something unsuitable for work (NSFW), but the item had an entirely harmless purpose.
Hershey Makeup Sponges Puzzle Costco Shoppers
Costco shoppers have been puzzled by a new item on the shelves: Hershey-branded makeup sponges. The confusion started when a Costco member shared a picture of the unusual product on Reddit, saying, "I'm so confused about the Hershey Beauty Sponges at Costco."
Echoing the sentiment, another shopper expressed surprise, mainly because the sponges were placed in the food section. "Was very confused this morning as to what they are," they wrote, sharing their bewilderment.
Despite the initial confusion, the famous chocolate company has ventured into beauty products, creating a set of makeup sponges. These Hershey Beauty Sponges are available at Costco and other major retailers like Walmart, bridging the gap between sweet treats and beauty essentials.
Some Costco customers have a different take on the new Hershey makeup sponges, seeing them resemble something completely different.
"One person joked, "They all look like butt plugs."
"THAT'S what they look like," another shopper agreed, finding humor in the similarity.
A third customer shared a personal anecdote: "Literally what my wife and I said last week when we saw them being put out."
These comments highlight shoppers' unexpected comparisons, adding a humorous twist to the product's debut.
Costco Shocks: From Bargain Whiskey to Unexpected Surprises
Costco shoppers were recently surprised when they stumbled upon a deal that seemed too good to be true. Bottles of Blanton's single-barrel whiskey, typically valued at over $200, were found on shelves for a mere $49.99.
Known for its premium quality and iconic horse-and-rider figurine atop the lid, this unexpected find delighted members with its bargain booze.
However, amidst the excitement of discounted spirits, not all surprises at Costco have been met with such enthusiasm. One shopper had a rather unpleasant discovery when they encountered a latex glove baked inside a blueberry muffin. Taking to Reddit to share their shock, they questioned how to address this concerning incident.
Since its commercial debut in 1984, Blanton's bourbon has held a special place in the hearts of whiskey enthusiasts. Renowned for being the pioneer of single-barrel bourbon, it has become a coveted item for collectors, particularly those fond of bourbon from that year.
Blanton's distinctive flavor profile boasts tasting notes of nutmeg and spices, complemented by rich vanilla, caramel, and subtle hints of honey and corn. According to the experts at Liquor Laboratory, it stands out as one of the finest bourbons available, though it remains a rarity on store shelves.
Despite its limited availability, Blanton's continues to capture the attention of connoisseurs and remains a sought-after addition to any whiskey collection.
The discovery of Blanton's whiskey at Costco is a surprise, especially considering the strict purchasing regulations enforced by Buffalo Trace Distillery, the producer of Blanton's. Buyers are typically limited to one bottle every three months, adding to the rarity of the prized spirit.
As Costco continues to make headlines for its unexpected offerings, shoppers wonder what surprises might be in store next.
