All that glitters is not gold

Like many  single senior citizens, I get my food requirements via caterers and online stores such as Big Basket.

Yesterday I placed an order for a few breakfast snack items. One of them was breakfast bars. 

Today when I opened the pack, it was highly colourful and tempting as in the image displayed in Big Basket's Online Store. Following is a photo of the pack as soon as I opened it:


When I ate from one of these packets, the snack was neither chewy nor delicious as mentioned in the online store description about the product. After eating just one bar, I experienced stomach upset.

All that glitters is not gold.
