If the Wine Doesn’t Get You, the Jalapeño Yogurt Will: Costco’s Conspiracy Deepens
Costco shopper takes no chances after recent product recalls include exploding wine, fire-starting peanut butter, and emotionally unstable poultry.
Costco, long celebrated for its bulk discounts, legendary rotisserie chickens, and inexplicably large teddy bears, now finds itself at the center of a chilling mystery: Are they trying to kill us one grocery item at a time?
It started innocently enough, if you can call exploding wine bottles “innocent.” Shoppers recently received warnings that certain Prosecco bottles sold at Costco might spontaneously explode if left undisturbed, even just on your kitchen counter. You know, as sparkling wines famously do in peaceful domestic settings.
But The Wink Report’s team of primate investigators (and one very brave intern named Ricky) dug deeper, and unearthed a bubbling cauldron of culinary chaos hiding in plain sight.
Here’s just a taste of what else has been quietly recalled:
Jalapeño Yogurt – Marketed as “spicy probiotic bliss,” it has been linked to internal combustion in unsuspecting breakfast enthusiasts. One victim described it as “yogurt that punches back.”
Emotionally Unstable Rotisserie Chickens – Prone to screaming when poked. Early reports claim the chickens have unionized and demand better seasoning.
Pre-shredded Cheese That Hisses When Opened – One customer described the sound as “a mixture of steam release and demonic whispering.” Others just heard “run.”
Frozen Tilapia That Regrows Its Tail – We don’t know if it’s science or dark magic, but it’s definitely not FDA-approved.
Peanut Butter That Starts Fires on Toast – Technically “artisan flame-roasted spread,” but several kitchens have been reduced to smoldering ruins.
Despite the recalls, Costco has remained suspiciously tight-lipped, issuing only a vague statement:
“We take customer safety seriously. Please stop asking questions.”
But we will ask questions. Like why were all these items sold under Costco’s in-house brand, Kirkland Experimental? Why do the recall notices smell faintly of burnt marshmallows and secrecy? And what exactly is happening behind that mysterious, unmarked double door between the bulk bacon and seasonal socks?
Insiders tell us it’s where “the real samples are tested.”
Costco’s executive team declined to comment, but sources claim they were last seen boarding a helium-powered golf cart headed for an undisclosed underground bunker, carrying only club-sized jars of nutmeg and one extremely aggressive churro.
Editor’s Note:
This article is completely fictional. Any resemblance to real recalls, products, or screaming chickens is purely coincidental. Except the wine part. That’s actually happening. So maybe…wear goggles when pouring?
