One Tesco customer was left stunned to find out how unpopular their favourite meal deal was in 2024. They took to Reddit to ask one question after finding out the information
A Tesco customer was surprised to learn that no one shared their favourite meal deal in 2024.
They delved into 2024 Unpacked on the Tesco app which gives a customer insights into their spending habits at the store, including what their most bought beal deal items were. The Tesco shopper took to Reddit to share their top meal deal combination was the All Day Breakfast Sub, Onken Naked Strawberry Yogurt Pouch and a bottle of San Pellegrino Sparkling Natural Mineral Water.
The Reddit user, who goes by Vented55, shared this information in the Tesco subreddit and the post contained a second photo that told them they’re ‘1 in 10 million’ due to their highly uncommon Tesco meal deal choices. This left them questioning how bad their favourite meal deal is.
In the post they wrote: “Is my meal deal really that bad? Not even one person shares my meal deal.” The second photo they shared in the post reads: “You’re 1 in 10 million! Out of over 10 million possible combos, no one shared the same favourite Meal Deal. That’s pretty impressive!”
The post has collected 1,300 upvotes and more than 250 comments. Many users discussed the choice of sparkling water.
One said: “Oh so you’re one of the psychopaths somehow keeping sparkling water on the shelves.” This was the top comment with 442 upvotes indicating that lots of people agreed.
Another user added: “The yoghurt is the only decent thing on that list. The sub is middle of the pack and the sparkling water is psychopath behaviour. Feels like you’re drinking bees.”
A third shared their experience with sparkling water. They explained: “I gave up drinking all kinds of liquids apart from coffee and water after realising I had a crippling addiction to coke (I’m talking strictly liquids here.) After about 2 months of this I still craved the refreshing feeling of carbonated drinks and so I tried sparkling water, and to my surprise I liked it.
“I think the reason sparkling water tastes bad to so many is that they think fizzy and they automatically expect sugar. I’m not denying the psychopath claim, but I feel like we should be somewhat ‘respected psychopaths’ instead of being shunned from society.”
A different user joined the discussion to say tonic water “tastes better” than sparkling water. Someone replied to their comment to bravely support sparkling water.
They claimed: “Tonic water has sugar in it. Also the amount of quinine it contains is so low if you’d want to fight off malaria using just tonic water, you’d have to drink roughly 25 gallons a day of tonic water.
“Also if I personally saw someone chugging tonic water with their meal deal I’d call them a psychopath. Team sparkling water 4 lyf.”
Another user had their say on the unpopular meal deal combination. They said: “Seeing as nobody gave you a serious answer, it’s a weird mix because it crosses into different demographics:
-
The Breakfast Sub is not the healthiest – it has sausage and bacon. I’d expect the people who eat that to pair it with a Coke
-
San Pellegrino is often the favourite of healthy people (it’s not more healthy than water, but for some reason that’s my association). I’d expect that to be paired with their salads
They added: “Not sure about the yogurt, but maybe this specific one is more of a kids thing? Anyway, as long as you’re living your best life, don’t worry about it.”
