#47 These Cookies Always Had Three M&Ms On Every Cookie

Keebler Chips Deluxe cookies packaging misleading with fewer M&M candies than shown on box in product packaging.

I’ve been eating these since I was a kid, and each cookie always had three M&Ms, and now half of the package looks like this. They don’t even taste good anymore. Never buying these again.
