Truth in Advertising

Sometimes you just want chocolate and this looked like a way to practically mainline it. "Triple Chocolate!" "Decadent!" "with real chocolate chunks and real fudge!" So I get the box home and only then discover the glistening fudge covering the cake is a result of "an even more delectable experience,... NEW Duncan Hines amazing glazes!" Naturally bought and added separately.
Now I ask you, wouldn't you think the "triple" referred to 1.) the cake 2.) the chocolate chunks and 3.) the fudge topping? Well, Mr. Duncan Hines, you won't trick me again!
That looks yummy

@kerristephens I had to add a dollop of whipped cream to take the place of the missing fudge.

I bet whipped cream was good but not as good as fudge!!

Boo! Not nice of Mr. Hines to tease you like that!

@melissapike Totally! If I still feel as annoyed tomorrow, I may call the 800 number and demand satisfaction!

Chocolate chunks and real fudge . . . I want some. I want some really badly . . . even if the topping doesn't come with it.

Fault advertising..call..who knows maybe you get a full carton full send to you... but I'm sure that it also taste good with whipped cream.

Love the photo AND your hilarious comment, Allison. I mean really . . I would have thought the same thing that you did. Send them this photo and your comment . . they might send you some free glazes. Actually whipped cream sound pretty good to me. Have them send you money to pay for the cream too!! :) :)

That would totally annoy me- to get home and find out the glaze was not included and the packaging hadn't made that clear. I would definitely call them, but if there was a way to email this to them I would and I would let them know that you posted it on an internet website! Really, if they're not including the third part of the fudge, it's not a triple chocolate anything! Good shot!

That is false advertising. It probably says in tiny print "Serving Suggestion only"! I would have been fooled too.

@cmt2812 You are rightKate it di; in gold letters on the bottom left (you can see it on the box) but they weren't very legible because of the gold. And of course one might assume the serving suggestion is cutting it and placing it on a plate. You can see, I still have my dander up!

LOL... Are you SURE that you totally turned the box upside down and shook it a couple of times, in order for the chocolate glaze package to fall out?

That is why I always bake from scratch!
