Costco’s Bulk Buy Blunder: When ‘Hot Deals’ Turn into ‘Hot Mess’

Turns out, Costco’s “hot deals” may be more of a hot mess! The bulk retail giant is in hot water over selling banned Chinese security products. Yes, you read right. It’s a twist more surprising than finding out the 5-gallon mayo jug you bought is actually filled with pickles. Talk about a bulk buy blunder!

Hot Take:

When Costco's "hot deals" ain't so hot after all! The retail giant, known for bulk toilet paper and cheap hot dogs, is under fire from U.S. lawmakers for selling banned Chinese security products. I guess it's not just the 5-gallon jugs of mayo that are leaving a bad taste in people's mouths! It's a bit of a pickle, and not the kind you get in a three-gallon jar.
